173 such should be needed, for the expeditious fitting out of the squadron. Columbus, in these days of honor and influence, took care to fortify his own interests and those of his descend- ants by obtaining an additional patent and confirmation of his rights from the King and Queen. The paper in ques- tion was the third of those remarkable documents upon which the first political relations between Europe and America were established. In the present case, Columbus deemed it prudent that the new ...patent of authority should recite the existing agreement between himself and their Majesties made in the preceding year. The second charter was drawn accordingly, at the city of Barcelona, under date of the 28th of May, 1493. After enumerating all the exist- ing covenants between the sovereigns and Don Christopher Columbus, and stating in the introductory part the nature of the petition which Columbus had submitted, the docu- ment proceeded to confer upon him certain specific rights, among which was a confirmation of all the benefits pre- viously granted, and which were to descend in perpetuity to his heirs; besides which were delegated extraordinary powers, not only as governor of all the new possessions, but such judicial authority as made him the supreme arbiter of all disputes arising therein.
