He sailed north past the mouths of the Amazon andOrinoco through the Gulf of Paria, and reached Espanola in June 1500. He only paused there to take in provisions, and sailed to the west insearch of further discoveries; but he lost two of his caravels in a galeand had to put back to Espanola. He sailed thence for Palos, and reached home in September 1500, havingadded no inconsiderable share to the mass of new geographical knowledgethat was being accumulated. In later years he took a high place i...n themaritime world of Spain. And finally, to complete the account of the chief minor discoveries ofthese two busy years, we must mention Pedro Alvarez Cabral of Portugal, who was despatched in March 1, 1500 from Lisbon to verify the discoveriesof Da Gama. He reached Calicut six months later, losing on the voyagefour of his caravels and most of his company. Among the lost wasBartholomew Diaz, the first discoverer of the Cape of Good Hope, who wason this voyage in a subordinate capacity, and whose bones were left todissolve in the stormy waters that beat round the Cape whose barrier hewas the first to pass.
