Junctiana Proposal

In this third proposed course through the
lake of Nicaragua, no mountains are in the way.
From the river St.San Juan, (in English St.John) running
from the Lake into the Atlantic, it passes on to the Pacific,
either through the Lake of Leon, which by a River
communicates with the lake of Nicaragua, or by a
direct cut at a less distance.

The information, he speaks of, as being
derived from a number of persons of different descriptions,
(names not mentioned,) by whom the tract of
country in question had been visited. The sum of it is as
follows.

I.Elevation of the Land.

1. Between both lakes and the Pacific, the ground "a dead
"level."

II. Depth of water on the side of the Atlantic.

1. General depth over the bar at the mouth of St John's River,
Feet..12.

2. In a particular part................25.

3. Depth in the River, after the bar has been crossed, from
Fathomss 4 1 making feet........24

so Fathoms 6, making Feet.............................36.

4. Depth of water in the Nicaraguan Lakes, from
Fathoms 3, making Feet................................18.
so Fathoms 8, making Feet.............................48.

5. In the Pacific Ocean, depths of water not stated in figures:
but said to be "free from racks and shoals": in one part,
(the Papagayo coast) "the shore so bold, that a frigate
"may anchor within a few yards of the beach."

III. Length of a Strait cut, at different parts of the above
dead level.

1. From Lake Nicaragua to the Pacific in the gulph of
Papagayo, Miles from ..............21 to 25.

2. From Lake Leon to the Pacific, on the coast of
Nicoya, Miles from ................13 to 15.

3. From the Atlantic into Lake Nicaragua, up the
River St Juan, "Large Brigs and Schooners sail".

Length of a River by which LAke Leon communicates
already with the Sea, "Leagues", say Miles - 24.
