The Abbe Molina affirms that the Cordilleras of Chile form three parallel chains, of which the intermediary is the most elevated; but to prove that this division is far from general, it suffices to recollect the barometric survey made by MM. Bauza and Espinosa, in 1794, between Mendoza and Santiago de Chile.
The vice-admiral was Don Alonso del Campo y Espinosa, who commanded the second ship called La Conception, of forty-four great guns, and eight small ones; besides four vessels more, whereof the first was named the Magdalen, of thirty-six great guns, and twelve small ones, with two hundred and fifty men.

Fearful lest he should be smuggled thence without her seeing him, And careless of the impropriety of the hour it was already eight o'clock and dusk was falling she at once dispatched Roderos to the friar, bidding him bring Espinosa to her in the parlour.

He ordered that they should be brought up to him to the top of the fortress, where, having put a few questions to them, as a matter of form, he gave them in charge to an alguazil named Juan de Espinosa. Such was the arrogant and precipitate entrance into office of Francisco de Bobadilla.
