less than three days time messengers
might be expected from him in return,
and many merchants from the interior to
trade with the ships It is curious to
observe how ingeniously the irnagina-
tion Of Columbus deceived him lit every
step, and how he wove everything into
a uniform web of false conclusions.
Poring over the map Of Toscanelli, re-
ferring to the recSonings of his voyage,
and musing on the misinterpreted words
Of the Indians, he imagined that he must
be on the borders Of Cathay and about
100 leagues from the capital Of the
grand khan. Anxious to arrive there,
and to delay as little as possible in the
territories Of an inferior prince, he de-
termined not to await the arrival Of
messengers and merchants, but to dis
patch two ENJOYS to seek the neigh
boring monarch at his residence.
For this mission he chose two Span
iards-Rodrigo de Jerez and Luis de Tor
res-the latter a converted Jew, who
knew Hebrew and Chaldaic, and even
something Of Arabic, one or other Of
which Columbus supposed might be
known to this oriental prince Two Indi-
ans were sent with them as guides-one a
native Of Guanahani and the other an in
habitant Of the hamlet on the bank Of
the river The ambassadors were fur
nished with strings of beads and other
trinkets for travelling expenses Instruc-
tons were given them to inform the king
that Columbus had been sent by the Cas-
titan sovereigns a bearer of letters and a
present, which he was to deliver person
ally, for the purpose Of establishing an
amicable intercourse between the powers.
They were likewise to inform themselves
accurately about the situation and dis
tances of certain provinces, ports and
rivers, which the admiral specified BY
name from the descriptions which he had
of the coast of Asia They were more
over provided with specimens of spices
and drugs for the purpose Of ascertaining
whether any articles Of the kind abound
ed in the country. With these provisions
and instructions the ambassadors depart
ed, six days being allowed them to 70
and return. Many at the present day
will smile at this embassy to n naked saw
age chieftain in the interior of Cuba in
mistake for an Asiatic monarch, but such
was the singular nature Of this voyage
continual series Of golden dreams-and
all interpreted by the deludipg volume of
Marco Polo.

would there deliver in person the letters
of the Castilian sovereignS to tne grand
khan and wnen he received his reply
return trumphantiy to Spain with this
document to prove that he had accom-
plished the great object of his voyage.
Such was the splendid scheme with
which Columbus fed his imagination
