laid to the charge of the Spaniards in Guahon. 

 The islanders, on being better informed, promised 

 to re-establish the interrupted trade; and they kept 

 their word. 



An Englishman, who was a passenger on board 

 the Maria, and was called by Don Luis, Juan, 

 settled at Ulea. Kadu had known him there, by 

 the name of Lisol ; he had taken a wife, by whom 

 he had one child. According to his account, 

 this Lisol, at a later time, when Kadu was absent, 

 was fetched away again by some ship ; but from 

 the information of Don Luis respecting him, he 

 died at Ulea. 



Don Luis de Torres, in this voyage, had sought 

 to introduce oxen and hogs, and several useful 

 plants at Ulea. The natives in the sequel pur-

 were not only useless, but hurtful to them. The 

 oxen bit off the young cocoa-trees, and the hogs 

 damaged the taro plantations. Of the plants, only 

 the ananas had thriven ; as it bore fruits, and the 

 people were much rejoiced at it, and as every one 

 wanted to possess the plant, it was transplanted 

 so frequently that it at last died. 



Since the voyage of Don Luis, no new misfor- 

 tune has interrupted the communication. The 

 Carolinians coming to Guahon become yearly more 

 numerous. Their fleet of boats from Ulea and the 

 surrounding groups, consisting of Lamureck and 

 Setoan, collects at Lamiueck. The voyage is 

 luidertaken from thence in the montli of April ;
