ABSTRACT

Apparently that night this fleet detached sixteen pinnaces and two ships which proceeded to the mouth of the Hayna River where, unobserved, they landed 800 muskets and pikes. Without being perceived they marched all that night toward the city. They were not perceived because no attention was paid to that approach, for all that coast is living rock. Therefore by break of day all this force had arrived within a league (level country) of the city without being perceived.
