88 The Beginning of British Honduras
of which was crossed by Nelson on H.M.S. "Hinching-
brooke."
 The Archives of British Honduras have an explanatory map
in three colours. Red defining limits of treaty of 1783, yel-
low that annexed by treaty of 1786, blue that held by force
of arms since 1798. This is glaringly contradicted by another
map published in the same archives and taken from Jeffery's
Atlas, geographer to his Majesty, dated 20, February 1775,
which shows the whole of this land in British occupation,
coloured red, in contradistinction to the Spanish yellow, and
bounded on the south by the Rio Gordo, sometimes spelt
Gado by the English, which river cannot be mistaken on
charts for it still holds the Gordo Caye in its mouth. This
official atlas also pointed out in the preface that this particular
map is based on accurate information. It was thus approxi-
mately between 1786 and 1798 that the southern rivers lost
their old names which are shown in Kichin's Maps London
1804, Thomson's Atlas Edinburgh 1817, Pinkerton's Atlas
Philadelphia 1818, and Vandermaelen's Atlas Brussels 1827.
We find the new names in Arrowsmith's Atlas London 1840,
with Temash and Sarstoon the southernmost rivers. The
mahogany industry was then flourishing and these southern
rivers were laden with gangs of cutters.
 The names Alpine, Scotsmentown, and Maceroni Hill in
 the Stand Creek area were given by the colonists of Gregor
Mac Gregor of Clan Alpine. He was born in 1786, and his
grandfather who served in the Semphill Highlanders was
called Gregor the Beautiful, in Gaelic. His wife, Josefa, who
accompanied him in many of his adventures was a relative of
Bolivar. Miranda made him a colonel in the cavalry, and he
so distinguished himself in battle that he was promoted gen-
eral-of-division, received the thanks of Bolivar, the insignia
of the order of Libertadores, and a place reserved for him in
the Pantheon at Caracas. Then he went to Henrietta, the
sister island of Providence, and in 1817 he was in Florida
scheming to take it away from Spain for himself.
