His voyage carried him as far as the coast of Paria, whence he returned, reaching Palos in November, 1500.2 The 9th of March, 1500, Pedro Alvarez Cabral left the port of Lisbon with thirteen vessels bound for Calicut. It may have been by accident that he touched the coast of Brazil, April 22d, at a point near the present Monte Paschoal. He appears to have sailed as far north as the present Porto Seguro, and from this point Cabral departed for the Cape of Good Hope to continue his voyage to Calicut, but Gaspar de Lemos was sent back to Portugal to carry the word of the discovery of a land to which the name Terra de Santa Cruz was given.3 Rodrigo de Bastidas sailed in October, 1500, under letters patent dated June 5, 1500, to discover "islas e tierra-firme a las partes de las Indias, o a otra cualquier parte, con tal que no sea de las islas e tierra-firme que fasta aqui son descubiertas por Cristobal Colon e por Cristobal Guerra." It appears that Andreas de Morales and Juan Rodriguez, pilots, sailed with him, as did also Juan de la Cosa. He first touched the mainland at some point along the Cumana coast, sailed thence westward, at least to the Gulf of Darien and perhaps as far as Puerto del Retrete, including the entire coast of Panama. This part of the New World, however, Canerio omits from his chart. He returned in September, 1502.1 'Navarrete, 1. c., Vol. Ill, p. 547; Venetia, 1556, Vol. I, pp. 132-139; Peter Martyr, 1. c., Decades, I, Lib. ix.
