On That Extensive Continent ON the 5th in the morning our balza-landed us on the coast of Machala, from whence we travelled by land to the town, the distance being about two short leagues. The next day we sent away our baggage in a large canoe, to the Salto de Tumbez; going myself in the same calico, being disabled by a fall the pre ceding day. Don George Juan, with the servants, followed on horseback: the whole country being level, is every where full of salt marshes, and over ows at high water, so that the track is not sufficient for two to go abreast.
