Magellan caused also the sentence he had imposed on the inspector and his accomplice to be carried out here.
Carthagena and Sanches were led from their prison to the shore.
As the sails were being lifted to depart, they were marooned—left with some provisions, among which were some bottles of wine, on the desert shore.
There were hearts that pitied them as the ships sailed away. There was one who plotted to rescue them. It was Gormez.
They left them some biscuits with the bottles of wine.
"It is the last bread they will ever eat," said their companions.
"And the last wine that they will ever drink," said a loyal priest on board.
But there was one on board that shook his head.
If he could have his will the two would eat bread and drink wine again in the convents of beautiful Seville.
The execution of the disloyal Spaniards again awakened the jealousy of Gormez. He probably began to plan about this time to separate the Antonio from the expedition, and lead her back to Spain. His heart was with the inspector and friar far away on the desolate shore.
