You hold on to the rope until the crates land safely on deck. Now you can turn and face Romano. Then you hear a shout fromt he mate.

"Up anchor! Set all sails! Lively, now! Lively!"

The Santa Maria's seamen race down the deck, into action. The men sweep Romano right along with them. So for the moment you don't have to deal with him.

BOOM! The flagship fires a cannon salute. On shore the people of San Sebastian wave and cheer. With flags flying, the ships set out to sea, on their way at last.

"Deck helper! Come here!" The steward hands you a tray with a bottle of wine and two mugs. "Take this to the captain's cabin!" he says.

Carrying the tray, you hurry to a small door in the stern. You knock and a voice calls, "Enter!"

Slipping inside, you put the tray on a table and look around. There's another table, under a porthole, covered with maps and charts. Two men are bending over them. One is the famous explorer, and again you feel excited to be standing close to him. The other man, who was pointed out to you on deck, is Peralonso Nino, the ship's pilot.

You listen to their conversation.

"We won't make the mistake other explorers made, " Columbus explains. "First I want to head south until we pick up good winds. When we get those winds, they'll carry us to the west."

Nino nods. "It's a daring plan, Captain, but it makes sense."

Columbus comes over. He smiles at you and helps himself to wine. "I don't believe the Ocean Sea is very big," he says to the pilot. "We should reach land in a week or two."

Of course, you know differently, but you can't say anything. Soon Columbus will find out how large the Atlantic Ocean is for himself.

Quietly you step out and close the cabin door behind you.

Suddenly there's a cry--

"Look out!"
