When he [Narvaez] reached Florida he dropped anchor in the bay which he called Santa Cruz.* [Arredondo note* On the Gulf of Mexico, in latitude 29° 40'. It is the same bay which Don Tristan de Luna called Santa Maria in the subsequent year of 1558, and to which Don Andres de Pez, then admiral, added the appellation of Galvez, in honor of the Count of Galvez, who was Viceroy of Mexico when it was settled and fortified in the year 1693.]
