The Life and Voyages of Christopher Columbus Volume II Part 4

Shipwrecked on Jamaica, Columbus and his crew face starvation and mutiny. He cleverly predicts a lunar eclipse to win native aid and dispatches messengers across perilous seas for rescue. Months pass before salvation arrives, leaving him frail and ill. On his return he witnesses the harsh new rule of Ovando in Hispaniola, where cruelty reigns unchecked. The dream that once guided him fades under exhaustion and neglect, as the world he discovered begins to turn away from its discoverer.
