Arecibo

We reached Arecibo, having to ford or ferry streams five times.

Thence the Alamo proceeded, August 29, to Arecibo, which port was reached on the same day.

On the rugged north side, where the ocean currents set to southward, there are no good anchorages between Arecibo and San Juan.

Yet town after town surrendered to these outposts until they were encamped before Arecibo, on the northern coast of the island.
