Famous Indian Chiefs, Their Battles, Treaties, Sieges, and Struggles with the Whites for the Possession of America by Charles H. L. Johnston (Illustrated)
Upon a beautiful day in July, 1492, two brown-skinned Spaniards lay upon the wharf that jutted far out into the waters of the blue Mediterranean Ocean at Palos, Spain, and looked meditatively in the direction of the far West. From their dress it could be easily seen that they were sailors, and from their conversation it was only too evident that they were speculating upon questions that then stirred the thoughts of many intelligent seafarers.
"As you watch a ship, its hull first disappears upon the horizon, then the spars, and then the masts, themselves," said one, "which leads me to the belief that mayhap we shall�in some of our voyages�come to a point where we shall fall from the centre of the earth and disappear into the heat of a fiery furnace."
