Excerpt from The British Colonies He sent his brother Bartholomew to England, to make proposals, in his name, to Henry VII. Bartholomew was taken captive by pirates on his voyage, and not heard of by his brother for ten years, eight of which Columbus was himself des tined to consume in ¿uctuating and most perplexing intercourse with the court of Spainxl' At length, wearied out with fruitless exertions, be resolved to quit Spain, and seek support elsewhere. In the beginning of February, 1492, he took leave of his friends, sallied forth from Santa Fé, pursued his lonely journey across the Vega, and had reached the bridge of Pinos, about two leagues from Granada, when he was over taken by a courier from the illustrious Queen Isabella, who summoned him to re turn forthwith.
