It is true, he had been in pursuit of a mere chimera, but it was the chimera of a splendid imagination, and a pe- netrating judgment. If he was disappointed in his expectation of finding a strait through the Isthmus of Darien, it was because nature herself had been disappointed. , for she appears to have attempted to make one, but to have attempted it in vain.
Chap. VI. ] RETURN TO VERAGUA. 237 CHAPTER VI.
RETURN TO VERAGUA. THE ADELANTADO EXPLORES THE COUNTRY.
[1502. ] ON the 5th of December, ...Columbus sailed from El Retrete, and relinquishing- his course to the east, returned westward, in search of the gold mines of Veragua. On the same evening he anchored in Puerto Bello, about ten leagues dis- tant ; from whence departing on the succeeding day, the wind suddenly veered to the west, and began to blow directly adverse to the new course he had adopted. For three months he had been longing in vain for such a wind, and now it came merely to contradict him. Here was a temptation to resume his route to the east, but he did not dare to trust to the continuance of the wind, which, in these parts, appeared but seldom to blow from that quarter.
