CHAPTER VII. BMSCOVEJIY AND C0A8T1X0 Of CD8A. THE LANDING or COLUXBC8. For several days the departure of CoInmbns wim delayed by contrary winds and calms, attended by heavy showers, which last had prevailed more or lefia Mfwe his arrival aiuoug the islands. It waa the 66HMH1 of the autumnal rains, which in tlio- torrid climates succeed tbe parching heats of summer commencitH about the decrease of the August ihooii and lasting until th month of November. At length at midnight, Oct. 34, be set aail from the Ulaixl of Isabella, but waa nearly beuahned until midday; a gentle wind then sprang up. and, as he observes, bepttn to blow mt amorously. Every sail was spread, and he stood toward the weat-soathwest, the direction in which be WKJ9 told the land of Cuba lay from Isabella. After three days' navigation, ia tin core of which he touched at a group of seven or eight small island, which lie called 11 am de Arena suf posed to be the present Mncaras islamls and Waving eroed tbe Bahama bank and channel, he arrived on the morning of the S6thof October in sight of Cuba. The part whieh be first discovered is supposed to he the coast to the west of Nuevitas del Principe. As he approaotted thin noble island he waa -truck with its magnitude and the gradenr of it features; its high and airy moantains, which reminded him of these of Sicily; it, fertile valleys ami loaf? xwftepmg tlatna, watered by noble rirerx: its stately forwts; its bold pro nentories and stretching beadlanda. which aeivl away into the remotest distance. He anchored in a beautiful river of transparent clearness, free from rook and shoals, its banks overhung with trem Here landing, and taking poanoooion of the inland, he gave it the name of .1 nana, in honor of Prince Juan, and to the river the name of Sa SalvaiW On tlie arrival of the ships two canoes pnt off from tlie shore, bat fled on seeing the iKMt approach to sound the river for anchorage. The admiral visited two cabins, alsamloned by their inhabitant. . They contained but a few nets made of the fitters of the palta tree, .books and . harpoons of bone, and aorae other ashing iritplfTHeHta, and one of the kind of w doga he had met with on the smaller islands, which never bark. Be ordered that nothing should be taken away or deranged. , Keturnirifr to his boat he proceeded for distance up the river, more and more enchanted with the beauty of the ootmtry. The batika were covered with high and wiWpreadiitg trees; some bearing fruits, others flowers, while in tone both fruit and flower were mingled, beeitesking a iierpetual round of fertility; among thein were many palms, bat different from those of Spain and Africa. With the gnat leaves of these ' the Hativea thatched their cabins. The oofltinnal eulogies made by ColumbtM on the beauty of the country were warranted by the kind of aoenery be waa beholding. There ia a wonderful splendor, variety ami luxuriance in the vegetation of those quick and ardent climates. The verdure of tlte groves, and the colors of the flowers and biosetna, derive a vividnea from the transparent purity of the air and the deep serenity of the azure heavens. The forests, too, are full of life, a warming with birds of brilliant plumage. Painted varieties of parrots and woodpeckers create a glitter amid the verdure of the grove, and humming birds rove from flower to flower, resembling, as has well been said, animated particles of a rainbow. The scarlet flamiugoea, too, seen sometimes through an opening- of a forest in a distant savanna, have the n iirnnce of soldiers drawn up in battaliou, with aa advanced scout on the alert to give notice of approaching; danger. Nor is the least beautiful part of animated natare the Various trilies of insects peopling every idatit and displaying brilliant coato of mail, which sparkle like pretjHiitas geiim. Such is the splendor of animal and vegetable creation in these tropical climate, where an ardent sun imparts its ewa luster to every object and quickens nature into exuberant fecundity. The bird m general are sot remarkable for their notes, for it has been observed that in the feathered race sweetness of sons; rarely accompanies brilliancy of pinmage. Columbus remarks, however, that there were varvous kinds whisk sang sweetly among the trees, and he frequently deeeived himself in fancying that he heard the voles of the Migktiaf)e, a bird Maknewa ta these countries.

i wfug u-megn n (arwias; menima. mm heart wa full te overflowing, for he I waa enjoying the fuliillateat of his . hopes and the bard earned but giorioue reward of bis toils and perils. Everything aromwl him was behold with the oawHtoied and exulnng eye of a cttsoov orer. where triumph adagios with ad Miration, and it is diSealt to eooeeive the rapturous state of bis feelings while .! i m. j lauaexiHonug um enaraw or a nrgta world, won by his enterprise and valor. From his ooatinnal remarks on the beauty of seenery sad from his evident delight in rural sounds and objects, he appears to have been extremely open to those happy influences exercised over some spirit by the graces and wonders of nature. He gives utterance to these feelings with characteristic enthusiasm, and at the same time with the artloas seas ami simplicity of diction of a ehud. When speaking of some lovely scene among the groves, or along the flowery shores of tbee favored islands, he says, "one oonld live there forever." Cuba broke npon him like an elysium. "It is the mot beautiful island,'' lie says, "that eyes ever IwheJd, full of excellent ports and profound rivers." The climate was more temperate here than in the other islands1 the nights being neither hot nor cold, while tin; birds and crickets sang all night long. Indeed there is a beauty in a tropical night, in the depth of the dark blue sky. the lambent purity 'of the stars, and the resplendent clearness of ! the moon that spreads over the rich land scape and the balmy groves, a charm more captivating than the splendor of the day. In the sweet smell of the woods and the odor of the flowers Columbus fancied he perceived the fragrance of oriental spice&, and along the shores he f ouad shells of the kind of ovster which produces pearl. From the grass growing to - the very edge of the water be Inferred j the peacefnlnesa of the ocean which bathes tlteae islands, never lashing tbe shores with angry surges. Ever since his arrival among these Antilles he had experienced nothing but soft and gentle weather, and he concluded that a perpetual serenity reigned over these happy t seas. He was little suspicious of the oci caeional bursts of fury to which they are liable. Charlevoix, speaking from actual observation, remarks: "Tbe sea of these Islands is commonly more tranquil than , ours; but, like certain people who are excited with difficulty, and whose transports of passion are as violent as they are rare, so when tbe sea becomes irritated, it is terrible. It breaks all bounds, overflows the country, sweeps away all things that oppose it, and leaves frightfnl ravages behind to mark tbe extent of its inundations. It is after these tempests, known by the name of hurricanes, that tlie shores are covered with marine 1 shells, which greatly surpass ia luster I and beauty those of the European I i . M : i r.. i . it. a i ib BUJgiuti nuwcvvr, UM. Iff htirricAna, which almost Annually dv ftata (a luk ttm last in fLA art 1 rki- Iiav fail a u!a in the immediate vicinity of Cuba, have been seldom known to extend tlieir influence to this favored land. It would seem as ir tne very elements were charmed into gentteuese as they ap proaclted it. In a kind of riot of the imagination, Columbus finds at every step something to corroborate tbe information he had j received, or fancied he had received, from tbe natives. He had conclusive , proofs, as he thought, that Cuba pos sessed mines of gold and groves of pices, and that its shores abounded with pearls. He no longer doubted that it was the island of Uipango, and weighing anchor coasted along westward, in which direction, according to the signs of his interpreters, the magnificent city of its king waa situated. In the course of his voyage be landed occasionally, and visited several villages, particularly one on the banks of a large river, to which he gave the name of Rio de los Mares. The houses were neatly built of branches of palm trees in the shape of pavilions, not laid out in regular streets but scattered here and there among tbe groves and under the shade of broad spreading trees, like tents la a camp as is still the case in many of the Spanish settlements, and in the- villages in tbe interior of Cuba. Tbe inhabitants fled to the mountains or hid themselves ia tbe woods. Columbus carefully noted the architecture and fnrnitnre of their dwellings. The honaes were better built than those he had hitherto seen, and were kept extremely clean. He found ia them rude statues and wooden masks carved with considerable ingenuity. All these were indications of more art and civilisation than ho had observed in tbe smaller islands, aad he supposed they would go on increasing aa he approached terra firma. Finding in all the cabins implements for ashing, he concluded that these coasts were inhabited merely by fishermen, who carried their Ash to the cities fca tbe interior. He thought also be had found the skulls of cows, which proved that there wore cattle in tbe island; though these are supposed to have been skulls of the manati or aeacalf found on this coast After standing to the northwest for some distance, Columbus came in sight of a great headland, to which, from the groves with which it was covered, he gave the name of the Cape of Palms, and which forma the eastern entrance to what is now known as Laguna de Moron. Here three Indians, natives of the island of Unanabafli, who were on board of the Pints, informed the commander, Mar tin Alonao Pinson, that behind the caps there was a river, whence it was bat four days' journey to Cubanacan, a pises abounding in gold. By this they designated a province situated ia tbe center of Cuba nacaa, ia their language, signifying tlte midst. Piasoa, however, had studied intently the map of Tosca aelli, aad bad imbibed from Columbus all his ideas respecting the ooast of Jus. He concluded, therefore, that the Indians were talking of CubW Khan, the Tartar sovereign, aad of oortaiu parts of his deminloat described by Marco Polo. Be aaderstood from them that Cuba was aot aa isiaad, but terra Anna, extending a vaet dieUace to the north, and that the king who reigned ia this vieiaity was at war with the groat khan,
This tissue of errors and misconceptions ht immediately eommnnicated to Columbus. It put an etd to the delueien ia which tbe admiral had hitherto ia-
I dwlged, that thi waa the island of Cipaago; ant it SMOMtuted another mo less agreeable. He ooaoladed that he must bare reached the mainland of Asia, or, as he termed it, India, and if so, beoould aot be at any great dtecaaue from Mangi aad Cathay, the ultimate destination of his voyage. The pri iu?e in t uestioti , who reigned over thU neighboring country, must be some oriental potentate of consequence: he resolved, therefore, to seek the river boyouU the Cajw of Palms and disatch a present to the monarch with one of the letters of recommeadatiou from the Uastilian sovereigns, and after visiting his dominions be would proceed to the capital of Cathay, tbe residence of tbe grand khan. Every attempt to reach the river ia question, however, proved ineffectual. Cape stretched beyond cape; there was no good ancliorage; the wind became contrary, ami the appearance of tbe heavens threatening rough weather, he put back to tlte Rio de los Mares. Ou the 1st of November, at sunrise, he sent the boats ou shore to visit several houses, but the inhabitants fled to tbe woods. He supposed they must have mistaken his armament for one of tbe scouring expeditious sent by tbe grand khaa to make prisoners and slaves. He sent tbe boat oa share again in tlte afternoon with an Indian interpreter, who was instructed to assure the people of tbe peaceable and beneficent intentions of .the Spaniards, and that they had no connection with the grand khan. After the Indian had proclaimed this from tbe boat to tbe savages on tbe beach, part of it, no doubt, to their great perplexity, be threw himself into the water and swam to shore, tie was well received by the natives, and succeeded so effectually in calming tlieir fears that before evening there were more than sixteen canoes about the ships, bringing cotton yarn and other simple articles of traffic Columbus forbade all trading for anything but gold, that tlie natives might be tempted to produce the real riches of their country. They had none to offer; all were destitute of ornaments of the precious metals, excepting one, who wore in his nose a piece of wrought silver. uolumbus understood this man to say that tbe king lived about tbe distance of four days' journey la tlie interior, that many messengers had beeu dispatched to give him tidings of the arrival of the strangers upon tlie coast, and that in less than three days' time messengers might be expected from him in return, aad many merchants from the interior to trade with tlte shir. It is curious to observe how ingeniously tlie imagination of Colli in bos deceived him at every step, and bow he wove everything into a uniform web of false conclusions. Poring over tbe map of Toscanelli, referring to the reckonings of his voyage, and musing ou the misinterpreted words of tbe Indiana, he imagined that lie must be on the borders of Cathay and about 100 leagues from tbe capital of the grand khan. Anxious to arrive there, and to delay as little as possible in the territories of an inferior prince. Ite determined not to await tbe arrival of messengers and merchants, but to dieiwtch two envoys to seek the neighboring monarch at his residence. For this mission lie chose two Spaniards Rodrigo de Jerea and Luis de Torresthe latter a converted Jew, who knew Hebrew aad Chaldaic, and even something of Arabic, aae or other of which Col imbue supposed might be known to this oriental prince. Two Indians were sent with them as guides one a native of Guanahani and tlie other an inhabitant of tbe hamlet on the bank of the river. Tlie embassadors were furnished with strings of beads and other trinkets for traveling expenses. Instructions were given them to inform tbe king that Columbus had been sent by tat Cat tilian sovereigns a bearer of letters aad a present, which he was to deliver personally, for the purpose of establishing aa amicable intercourse between the powers. They were likewise to inform themselves accurately about tbe situation and distances of certain provinces, ports aad rivers, which tlie admiral specified by name from tbe descriptions which be had of tbe coast of Asia. They were moreover provided with specimens of epiees and drugs for the purpose of aacertainiag whether any articles of tbe kind abounded in tlie country. With these provisions aad instructions the embassadors departed, six days being allowed them to go aad return. Many at tbe present day will smile at this embassy to a Baked savage chieftain in the interior of Cuba in mistake for an Asiatic monarch, but such was the singular nature of this voyage a continual series of golden dreams and all interpreted by the deluding volume of Marco Polo.
