The westerly current, the depth of water at the entrance of Padre, and the general description, are free of difficulties.

The true distance is greater than the "logged," because Columbus again omits part of his run.

It would be awkward if the true distances from the fourth to the fifth islands, and from the latter to Padre, had fallen short of the "log," since it would make the unexplainable situation which occurs in Irving's course and distance from Mucaras Reef to Boca de Caravela.
From end to end of the Samana track there are but three discrepancies.
At the third island, two leagues ought to be two miles.

At the fourth island twelve leagues ought to be twelve miles.

The bearing between the third and fourth islands is not quite as the chart has it, nor does it agree with the courses he steered.
