Domenico Colombo and Suzanna
Fontanarrossa, was born at Genoa
either in 1446 or 1451. Historians do
not agree as to the exact date. His
father was q wool-comber, a man OF
some small means. The man who
was to startle the world by his dis
coyeries as youth attended the
University of Pavia. There he de-
voted himself to astronomy, geome-
try and cosmography, according to

TT was necessary because Of the vast

upon the accession of John II of

been deeply interested in another
project, that of an eastern or south
eastern route around Africa to India,
this plan having been. initiated by
the Genoese in 1891. This scheme
had been revived for Portugal by
Prince Henry, the navigator. King
John listened to Columbus and the
matter was referred to "a committee

who had died a few years previously.
The next We hear of Columbus is
that he has established himself in
Spain. There he spent some time in
trying to decide whether he should
appeal to the King of France. He gave
his plans to the Count of Medina Cell.
and the latter maintained him as his
guest for two years. In fact. Cell be-
came so imbued with the project
that he determined to furnish Colum-
bus with three or four caravels. Real
izing, however, that the enterprise
was too vast for an individual to at
tempt. he wrote to Queen Isabella,
who in 1886 ordered Columbus to
come to the court of Cordova. Ferdi-
nand and Isabella did not have time
to give Columbus the consideration
necessary, owing to the fight that
CASTLE and Leon were in, the strug-
gle that resulted in the final conquest
of Granada Moors. Upon his arrival
he was placed in the care of Alfonso
de Quintanilla, who was speedily con-
verted to Columbus theory. He made
many other friends. among whom was
Beatriz .Enriquez. the mother OF his
second son, Fernando. The commit

matter reported that the plan of Co.
