ABSTRACT
Having left Cadiz on May 29, this Your Majesty's royal armada sighted La Dominica on June 30, from which point General Alvaro Flores steered on a course for Puerto Rico. He sent Campmaster Juan de Texeda ahead to inspect that place in accordance with Your Majesty's instructions. We were two days off Puerto Rico and finally anchored at San German because of the people's need of water and other refreshment. Despite this detour we arrived in this harbour of Cartagena on July 18.
