AtThree, after travelling a Road, which was fometimes 
pretty fmooth and at other times very rough, we came to 
a little wooden Crols, by the Road fide on the Left- hand, 
which the Spaniards call la Cruz, de la Solera (The Crofs 
of the Solera ) A Solera is a long Pole with a Hole at each 
end, which the Spaniards ufe to draw Wood with, by 
faftning one end to the Wood and the other to the Oxen. 
This Crofs was made with a Piece of a Solera , and for 
that reafon is fo call’d, but why it was fet up in this 
place I can’t tell, unlefs it was becaufe fomebody was 
kill’d thereabouts. At this place we alfo faw the Pike 
before us ; and altho’ we had come up hill quite from 
the Port, yet to our thoughts it feem’d almoft as high 
here as when we were there, the white Cloud flill hi- 
ding the greateft part of the Sugar-loaf. 
After riding about half a Mile further, we came to the 
fide of a Hill which was very rough and deep, (the place 
call’d Car av ala ; where are a great many Pine Trees that 
grow on both fides the Road for a great way, both on the 
Right-hand and the Left, one of which that wasclofe to 
the Road, on the Right-Hand as we went, our Guide de- 
fir’d us to obferve ; it having a great Branch growing out, 
which with the Boughs that were upon it look’d like the 
Forepart of a Ship, And from the likenefs this Tree has 
to a Ship I fuppofe the Place took its Name, for Caravela 
fignifies an old-fafhioned VefTel formerly much ufed in 
Spain, {harp before, ill fhap’d every Way, and all the 
Mads (looping forwards ; their Sails are all Mizen Sails, 
that is, Triangular ; they will lye nearer the Wind than 
other Sails, but are not fo commodious to handle. 
Amongft thefe Trees, not a great Height in the Air, we 
faw the Sulphur difeharge its felf like aSquibor Serpent 
made of Gun- powder, the Fire running downwards in a 
Stream, and the Smoak afeending upwards from the 
place where it firft took Fire 5 and like this we faw ano- 
ther,
