with the Queen. With wonderful zeal
and eloquence he stated the case, and
pleaded that Spain might not lose the
brilliant advantages offered by Columbus.
The generous spirit OF Isabella was
reused by this last appeal. She was eager
for the enterprise; but she remembered
that King Ferdinand looked coldly upon

ment in the life OF isabella; it stamped
her renown forever as the patroness OF the
discovery OF the New World. Her gener-
Gus offer to pledge her jewels was not
claimed; Santangel promising to advance
the money as a loan from his official treas

assured. 4 courier was dispatched to call

pledged her royal word to undertake the
enterprise, every doubt vanished, and he

arrangements, his former demands being
substantially granted in articles signed at
Santa Fe on the 18th OF April, 1871.

Guilty was experienced in securing the
necessary ships and men. At length
Martin AIonzo Pinzon stepped forward
and made good the pledge he had given
Columbus at the convent at La Rabita,
Years before. He was joined by his
brother, Vicente YaneZ Pinzon. They
supplied Columbus with funds TO pay the
eighth p5rt OF the expense, furnished two
OF the required vessels, and engaged to
sail in th- expedition.
The place selected for he ssembling OF
the ships intended for the expedition, by
a strange coincidence, was the little port

OF San Lucar de Barrameda, with a squad
ron OF six vessels, on his third voyage OF
discovery. Alter his departure intrigues
developed against him in the court OF
Spain. Every vessel that arrived from
the new world brought complaints against
the Admiral, it being even claimed that
he designed TO cast off his allegiance to
Spain and make himself sovereign of the
countries he had discovered.
At this iuncture, the sovereigns APP
pointed Don Francisco Bobadilla, a COM
missioner, to visit San Domingo, investi-
gate the charges, and under certain con-
dtions, to take charge OF affairs. Upon
his arrival Bobadilla assumed authority
and acted in very high handed manner.
Columbus was at Fort Conception in the
Vega when he heard OF this, and soon set
out for San Domingo.
When he heard that Columbus was on
his way to San Domingo, Bobadilla called

Lord, eternal and Almighty God, who by
thy holy word didst create the heavens,

fed be thy name praised be thy majesty,
which has vouchsafed to suffer thy holy
name, by the work OF thy humble servant,
to be made known and proclaimed in this
new part OF the world" And, as a mark
OF gratitude to the Providence which had
guided him so far, he gave to the first land
that he discovered, the name OF the Re-
deemer OF the world, and called it San
Salvador.
For nearly three months Columbus
cruised among the islands, discovering
Cuba and Hispan!ola. On the 2ith Of
December he lost one OF his vessels on
the coast OF the latter island, and as sup
plies were necessary he decided to set sail.
Leaving a garrison OF thirty nine men
under command OF Diego de Arana, he
sailed for Spain on the 9Th day OF January.

convinced OF his innocence, and he was
kindly received. On the 9th OF May, 1902.
Columbus sailed from Cadiz on his fourth
and last voyage OF discovery, from which
he returned on the 7th OF November, 1904,
sick at heart and shattered in body.
On the 18th OF May, 1906, the Admiral
himself perceived his hour approaching,
and calm and tranquil, with the faith and
resignation OF the righteous, he prepared
for the great passage. After scrupulously
fulfilling all the obligations OF loyalty,
affection and justice, he turned all his
thoughts to Heaven, and asking Of his
own accord, for the consultations OF re-
ligion, with the calm resignation OF a
saint, he awaited his end. His last words
were those OF Christ expiring on the
cross: "Into thy hands, o Lord, / COM
mend my spirit" He died, May Goth, the
feast OF the Ascension, 1905, at the age Of
about seventy years.
The oblivion with which the malice Of
his enemies succeeded in surrounding his
person, was soon dispelled by the bril-
liant splendor Of his fame, TO which time
gave ever increasing strength and vigor.
The discoveries in the New World con-
stantly grew in importance and extent,
and the report OF every new country dis
covered shed additional rays OF light on
the name OF him who first pointed out
and opened the way to those regions.

yield To the growing influences OF his
fame, and ordered a monument erected To

eminent merit, seemed atrocious even to
his enemies; ana when the irons were
brought, every one drew back in horror
at the idea of having to put them on him.
But one was found willing to perform the
odious task, and to increase the aged
AdmiraPs grief, it was one OF his own
domestics, wretch named Espinosa. To
refute the oft repeated statement that CO.
lumbus treated the natives in a cruel
manner, it may be noted that an Indian
Prince and his devoted wife, remained
with and sustained the Admiral in this
most trying hour.
Columbus was sent home in chains.
Upon his arrival in Spain he made such
a clear defence that the sovereigns were

OF La Rabida.
Father Juan Perez de Marchena would
not hear Of his leaving Spain, and wrote
Isabella personal letter, rs n result OF
which Columbus was recalled To court.
The war being concluded with the fall OF
Granada, the sovereigns agreed to supply
the means for voyage. Columbus, how
ever, demanded that he should be made
vceroy and admiral OF all the countries
he should discover, and receive one-tenth
of all the profits. This raised a storm
among the courtiers, and, rs Columbus
refused to recede from his position, the
negotiations were broken of.

parture with despair; to all appearances
the great project was lost TO Spain. One

burg team. flushed with their victories
over the Yirginias, were counting upon an
easy victory over the home team. Their
team was strengthened by Foster and Nc

and landed over the fence, bringing in the
three men and home run was put to
Brodies credit. No more runs were made
until the fifth inning, when the home team
scored another run.
