Porto Rico was first settled by the
Spaniards in 1903 under Ponce de Leon
who years later discovered Florida
while searching for the fountain of
perpetual youth. Ponce de Leon took
his settlers to the present bay of San
Juan but started his town on the OPP
posite side of the bay from the present
city. The Spaniards. had no idea of
developing the country but devoted
themselves TO searching for gold. They
found il in small quantities in the riy.

Porto Rico was discovered by Col
umbus on his second voyage in 1893.
He landed on the north coast near the
present town of Aricebo. The place is
now marked BY granite monument.
The island was called by Columbus San
Juan de Bautista, which is the Span
ish equivalent for st. John the Baptist.
Columbus found the island thickly
peopled by Indians whom he described
as short, fat and indolent. They lived
easily from the natural tropical fruits
of the island and We're not given to war
like the Indians farther west.

The island of Porto Rico is one hun.
dred miles in length and about 40 in
breadth. 1t is parallelogram in shape
and quite even in outline. 1t is the
smallest of the four principal islands

There is not one deep water harbor
on the island. San Juan harbor is
landlocked and perfectly safe but 1t
can be entered only by ships drawing
less than % feet of water, while at
Ponce, Mayaguez, Aricebo and Arroyo

certained. The most advantageous dis
