The inscription says also that the _Capitana_ left them on the 11th of June.
It has often been said that Queiroz's port of Vera Cruz is not to be found in the big bay of St.Philip and St.James, that the water is too shallow in the locality where the port was said to be.

This objection, however, may be overcome.
When amongst the islands of the group, a couple of years ago, a friend of mine, a French geologist of note, informed me that he had found numerous signs of upheaval in the corner of the bay, where, precisely, the port of Vera Cruz is marked on D.Diego de Prado's chart.

This, coupled with what Queiroz says about "great trees torn up and brought down" by the rivers, accounts, no doubt, for what appears to be incorrect in the Spanish chart if compared with modern features..
