Text Appearing Before Image:
ards the latitude where he expected to find thestrr . He touched the mainland of North America at Trux-illo, in Honduras, and coasted, thence southward along theMosquito shore, Nicaragua, Costa Ricca, and Panama. Here heexplored every sinuosity and indentation of the shore, seekingat the very spot where civilization and commerce now requirea canal, a passage which he considered as demanded by Natureand accorded by Providence. He followed the isthmus as far asthe Gulf of Darien, and then, driven by a furious tropical tem-pest, Returned as far as Veragua, in search of rich gold minesof wnich he had heard. The storm lasted for eight days, con-cluding with a terrible display of water-spouts, which Columbusis said to have regarded as a work of the devil, and to havediKnelled bv brin^insr forth the Bible and exorcising the demon. V 158 MAN UPON THE SEA. One of the water-spouts passed between the ships without in-juring them, and spun away, muttering and terrible, to spendits fury elsewhere.
Text Appearing After Image:
On reaching Veragua, Columbus sent his brother up a river,which he called Bethlehem, or by contraction Belem, to seek forgold. His researches seeming to indicate the presence of theprecious metal, Columbus determined to establish a colony uponthe river, an attempt which was defeated by the hostility of thenatives. Their fierce resistance and the crazy state of hisvessels forced Columbus, in April, 1503, to make the best ofhis way to Hispaniola with two crowded vessels, which, beingtotally unseaworthy, he was obliged to run ashore at Jamaica.There Columbus awed the natives and subdued them to obedienceand submission, by predicting an eclipse of the moon. Thus left without a single vessel, he had no resource but tosend to Hispaniola for assistance. After a period of fifteenmonths, lost in quelling mutinies and in opposing the cruelties MAN UPON THE SEA. 159 and exactions of the new masters of the island, he obtained acaravel, and again sailed for Spain on the 12th of September,1504.
