Following John Exquemeling's plan, we add a brief description of this famous town, to help the reader to form a mental picture of it. Porto Bello stands on the south-eastern side of a fine bay, "in the province of Costa Rica." It was neglected until 1584, when a royal mandate caused the traders of Nombre de Dios to migrate thither.
Their city is now a tangle of weeds and a heap of sun-cracked limestone; their market-place is a swamp; their haven is a stretch of surf-shaken mud, over which the pelicans go quarrelling for the bodies of fish. Authorities. Exquemeling's "History"; "The Bucaniers of America." Don Guzman's Account, printed in the "Voyages and Adventures of Captain Bartholomew Sharp." Cal.
