In order more fully and clearly to form a Judgment of the foregoing Expedition, it may not be improper to subjoin this Narrative of the Enemy's Situation, Strength, and Disposition at _Carthagena_, as the Fleet and Forces found them on their Arrival there: And in order to carry it on agreeable to the Advances that were made, begin with a _Disposition_ of _Punta Canoa_ Bay, where the Fleet first anchored. This Bay is about five Miles to the North West of the City of _Carthagena_, but not an extraordinary good anchoring Place, as the Water is shoal a great Way off the Shore, and the Coast pretty strait, that Ships are not much sheltered with the Point of Land, from the Violence of the Breezes that generally blow. In the Bottom of this Bay is an Entrance into the great Lake of _Jesea_, (called the _Boquilla_) where the Enemy had a small Fascine Battery of four Pieces of Cannon, and kept a Guard; but upon the Fleet's Arrival, (and during the Time they continued to lie there) a considerable Number of the Enemy's Forces, both Horse and Foot, kept constantly there, expecting a Descent. The next Place of Note was the _Cruizes_, where the Enemy kept a Guard ordinarily of a hundred Men: This Place is about half Way from the _Boquilla_ to the Town, and guards a narrow Creek or Pass from the Town to the Lake, called _Passa de Juan D'Ingola_, through which Supplies come in Canoes from the other Side of the Lake to the Town: As for the City itself, Nature has fortified that against any Attempt by Sea, the Water shoaling near a League off, and the Shore being plentifully bounded with Rocks; besides, the Sea is very seldom smooth, so that it is difficult at all Times landing. However, as the Enemy knew the Bravery of those they had to deal with, they began to wall this Side of the Town, and make a Ravelin in the Middle, there being already a strong Bastion at each End. _Bocca Grande_ being the next Place the Enemy suspected an Attempt might be designed, had posted two of their Men of War, the _Conquestodore_ of sixty six Guns, and the _Dragon_ of sixty to guard it, and began two Fascine Batteries, one on each Point of the Entrance. This Passage, called _Bocca Grande_, was formerly the principal Entrance into the Harbour, but by Storms, and the Force of the Sea, a Bank was thrown up, which quite closed the Entrance, and then it was called _Bocca Serrada_; but as strange Revolutions are frequent in these Countries, within these few Years this Passage has broke out again, and there is now nine or ten Foot Water in it. About three Miles below this, on the Island of _Terra Bomba_, was a small Fort of four Guns, called _Battery de Chamba_; and half a Mile further, a Fascine Battery of twelve Guns, (both of these the Enemy had abandoned.) The next Places of Defence were the Forts of _St. Philip_ and _St. Jago_, one of seven Guns, the other of fifteen, which served as Redoubts to the Castle of _Boccachica_. One of these
