This Country of Ours. Ch 4: How Columbus Returned in Triumph

From Micah (year 2):
Columbus sailed out four times. When he came back to the little Island, the fort was all destroyed and burned up, and he found eleven graves. When he came back to Spain, the king and queen were glad to have him back, and the pope decided that all of the Islands to the west should belong to Spain and all of the Islands to the East should belong to Portugal. The big ship got wrecked. Columbus went back to Spain in the little ship that he had with him. Not everyone fit, so some stayed on the found Island, but wild Commanches came and attacked it. Columbus was well liked after that. And the second and third and forth time that he went out across the sea of darkness, it was easy to get other men.
