Ulloa's "Voyage" volume 2 English Translation page 97. For Mr. Cruikshank's observations, see Mr. I have stated that many of the shells on the lower inclined ledge or terrace of San Lorenzo are corroded in a peculiar manner, and that they have a much more ancient appearance than the same species at considerably greater heights on the coast of Chile.
"Did you find the house of Don Simon, Señor Fortescue?" he asked when he saw me. "Yes, but I did not find him. The house is empty and deserted. What do you mean by sending me on such a fool's errand?" "I beg your pardon, señor. You asked me to direct you to Señor Ulloa's house, and I did so. What could I do more?"
It is really remarkable, that in three volumes 12mo, of small print, it is scarcely possible to find one truth, and yet, that the author should be able to produce authority for every fact he states, as he says he can. Don Ulloa's testimony is of the most respectable.
He may have taken it for a mere bayou, but it appears to be certain that he passed beyond it. He says Ulloa was mistaken by two degrees as to his northernmost point, and that he sailed four degrees beyond him. The meaning of this may be that he went four degrees beyond Ulloa's false reckoning, or actually two degrees above the shoals where Ulloa turned back.
In Spain she was received with the utmost consideration by the Marquis de la Mota, Dona Magdalena de Ulloa's brother, and later by the lady herself.

But Alarcon was not of a retreating disposition; the fierce Colorado had now met its first conqueror. It must be remembered, for Ulloa's sake, that there was not the same incentive for him to risk his ships and the lives of his men in an attempt to examine the shoals and currents of this dangerous place. Alarcon was looking for and expecting to meet Coronado at any time.

Your purpose is to carry information to the rebels, probably to join them, as is proved by your possession of a letter to so base a traitor as Señor Ulloa." On this I explained how I had obtained the letter, and pointed out that the very fact of my asking the posadero to direct me to Ulloa's house, and going thither openly, was proof positive of my innocence.
