To perpetuate in his family the glory of his achievement, a coat of arms was assigned him, in which the royal arms--the castle and lion--were quartered with his proper bearings, which were a group of islands surrounded by waves. To these arms were added the words-- "A Castella y a Leon Nuevo Mundo dio Colon." "To Castile and Leon Columbus gave a new world." CHAPTER FOUR. SECOND VOYAGE OF COLUMBUS--A.D. 1403.

We must briefly follow the adventures of Columbus to their termination. In spite of the efforts of Don John, King of Portugal, to reap advantage from the discovery of Columbus, Ferdinand and Isabella obtained from the Pope a bull, making over the newly-discovered lands and all such others as might be discovered to the crown of Castile. The utmost exertions were at once made to fit out a second expedition. The affairs of the New World were placed under the superintendence of Juan Rodrigues de Foneseca, Archdeacon of Seville, who was finally appointed Patriarch of the Indies. He was a worldly man, malignant and vindictive. He not only wronged the early discoverers, but frequently impeded the progress of their enterprises. Other men of similar character were associated with him.
