From the latter place it proceeds almost eastward to Cayey, and there it takes a winding course to the north as far as Caquas. Thence it turns west to Aquas Buenos, and then goes straight north through Guaynola and Rio Piedras to San Juan. The entire length of this highway is about eighty-five miles. The distance from Ponce to San Juan, as the bird flies, is only forty-five miles.

Nam tenet et Sclauoniam, et magnam partem Regni Comannorum, et Hungariam, et partem Regni Russiae.
"What an escape! How narrowly, as Propertius hath it femininely, `Eripitur nobis jumpridem carus puer. Well was it that thou hadst learnt to swim verily thou must have struggled lustily. `Pugnat in adversas ire natator aquas, yea, lustily for thy life, child. Now, God be praised!"
