or Guahon, one of the Ladrones Islands. It is a large island, about 120 miles in circuit, high and shelving on each side, and fenced with steep rocks, against which the surf perpetually beats. There is a bay on the west side, in which there are several small harbours. The climate is mild and salubrious, and the soil yields a great profusion of vegetables and fruits, particularly guavas, bananas, coconuts, oranges, and limes. The population is uncertain. The island was discovered by Magellan in 1521, and at that time the inhabitants—a wild and savage race—were numerous. Long. 143.15., Lat. 13.10.
