to Florida as a missionary, and in 1572 to New Spain. The rest of
his life was spent in the Philippines, where he not only held high
official positions in his order, but introduced among the Filipino
natives many industries and manufactures, opened the first school in
the island, founded colleges, and engaged in many other labors for
the benefit of both the Spanish and the natives. He died September 2,
1595. See notice of his life in Sommervogel's _Bibliothèque_; and
Algué's _Archipiélago filipino_, i, p. 251 (translated in _Report_
of U.S. Philippine Commission, 1900, iv, p. 99).

[11] Pasacao River is a small stream on the western side of the (old)
province of Camarínes Sur. The overland journey here mentioned is
to Nueva Cáceres, capital of the province, which is ten miles above
the mouth of Naga River (although farther by the windings of the
river). This river has its source only four miles from the Pacific
coast of Albay, whence it flows N.W. into Bató Lake; this part of its
course is called Inaya River. Another N.W. course of about the same
length (about 25 miles) carries the waters of the lake as far as Nueva
Cáceres, in a stream known as Bicol (the Vicor of our text) River. From
that city to its discharge in San Miguel Bay, it is called Naga River.
