Columbus anchors at Cádiz and finds three supply ships ready to sail

… they could not have been able to reach it, I believe; finally, it pleased God to give them land, the pilots having held different opinions as to where they were, the Admiral affirming that he was near cape Sant Vicente, and so it turned out as he certified. He arrived and anchored in the bay of Cáliz on 11 June, so that he took three months less a day on the voyage; he found in Cáliz three ships, two caravels and a nao, about to leave, loaded with provisions, wheat, wine, bacon and salt meat, beans and chickpeas, and other things that the Sovereigns had ordered loaded and sent for the maintenance of the people who were on this island. Having seen the letters and dispatches that the Sovereigns sent to the Admiral, he provided and wrote at length all that was fitting to do there to don Bartolomé Colón, his brother, by one Peralonso Niño, Master and Captain of the two caravels and the nao; and, the dispatches given, they departed four days after the Admiral had arrived at Cáliz.
