Thorntons Or. Hist., MS., 89, incorrectly states that Ken-drick had remained over from 1789, and in the winter of 1790 built a FortWashington at Mawinah, making a trip into the Fuca Sea later. All this isa confused allusion to earlier and later events. 13 Navarrete, Viages Apdc, 115, says that the two vessels suffered much,until the Princesa had to be sent south with 32 sick men, suffering withscurvy, etc. But this does not agree at all with the facts as shown byQuimpers diary, since it is hardly possible that the sloop went back toNootka in the winter after reaching San Bias in November 1790. 14 Particularly the entrada de Bucareli, strait of Fonte, port Cayuela, bocade Carrasco, strait of Fuca, entrada de Heceta, and port of Trinidad. 15 The presence of this schooner at Nootka is not explained; neither is itanywhere stated what had become of the North West America, or Gertrudisof 1789.

On June 16th, however, Narvaezhaving arrived, the schooner and launch, prepared fordefence, again entered the channel, and continuedtheir search in this and subsequent entrances untilAugust 7th. What they accomplished is best shownby the accompanying copy of their chart. In the south-east Elisa added nothing to Quimperssurvey beyond discovering that the bight of Caamanowas the entrance to an unexplored southern channel;but eastward and north-westward a very completeexamination was made of the complicated maze ofisland
