Journey To South America

I left Spain in September 1519. At first, all went well. Our small fleet sailed across the Atlantic Ocean and reached South America. We stocked up with goods and sailed down the coastline looking for a passage through this great continent. We just couldn’t find a route through South America! We sailed further and further south, sailing into every river we came to. The weather was getting colder, and we were running out of supplies. The crew refused against the other captains and me. I had the men who were against me hanged, and then we continued our journey.
