The island was discovered by that ad-\\nventurer on May 3, 1494, while sailing south from Cuba. Two days\\nlater he anchored off what is now known as Port Maria on the north-\\nern coast of Jamaica. Columbus named it Santa Gloria on account\\nof the beauties of the harbor. Later he sailed to Oracobessa, land-\\ning amid some opposition from the Indians, although they were soon\\nsubdued. The discoverer named the island Santiago, though it still\\nretains its Indian name, Xaymaca, now called Jamaica. Later the\\nvoyage was continued to Montego Bay and Morant Point, which\\nended the first visit of Columbus to the island.\\nOn May 9, 1502, he started on his fourth voyage with a fleet of\\nfour ships and one hundred and fifty men. On June 23, 1503, he\\nmade Dry Harbor, and on June 24 put into Don Christopher s Cove,\\nin a desperate condition, his vessels bored full of holes, and with a\\ndisheartened and mutinous crew. The ships were grounded, being\\nrun ashore as the only alternative. Columbus stayed on his ships\\nfor more than a year, awaiting the arrival of relief from Spain, de-\\npending for food on the generosity of the natives and the pillaging\\njourneys of his crews. At length aid arrived and Columbus set sail\\nfor Spain June 28, 1504, and died heart-broken and in poverty at\\nSeville, May 20, 1506, never knowing that he had discovered a new\\ncontinent.\\nThe Later History of the island has been one of almost continuous\\nprogress, beginning with the conquest of the Spanish invaders by\\nthe English. The first capital of the island, Sevilla Nueva, was\\nfounded by Diego Columbus, the son of the discoverer, and is now\\nmarked by only a few stones on the estate of Seville, near St. Ann s\\nBay. Later Spanish Town was established as the capital of the\\nisland, then called St. Jago de la Vega.

In\\n1654 a fine fleet left England for the express purpose of conquering\\nthe island, under command of Colonel Venables and Admiral Penn,\\nthe father of William Penn. St. Jago was taken in May, 1635.\\nThe last remnant of the Spaniards was at length driven from the\\nisland but a number of fierce and warlike slaves of mixed African\\nand Indian blood took to the mountains, and successfully defied\\nconquest. These people are still known as the Maroons, and their\\ndescendants now live at Mooretown.\\nThe Next Chapter of Jamaica s history is the record of her pirate\\nchiefs, who preyed upon Spanish shipping and founded Port Royal\\nas the headquarters of their ill-gotten gains. The city is said to\\nhave been the richest and the most licentious in modern history.\\nOn the 17th of June, 1692, a great earthquake shook the island,\\nand in two minutes destroyed the city, transforming the richest\\nspot on earth to the poorest. This was looked upon as the direct\\njudgment of the Almighty upon this most wicked city. Pesti-\\nlence followed the earthquake floods, and those who survived the\\none died from the other. The overthrow of Port Royal led to the\\nestablishment of Kingston on the Liguanea Plain. The enmity be-\\ntween France and England was reproduced in the island, where the\\nFrench burned plantations, and took away slaves to the value of\\n$325,000. This culminated years later, at the time of the American\\nWar for Independence, the recognition of that country by France\\ncausing martial law to be proclaimed on the island. Admiral Rod-\\nney, Jamaica s beloved hero, won a great victory over the French\\nadmiral, De Grasse, saving the island at a most critical period.\\nRodney s statue, by John Bacon, is located in the public square at\\nSpanish Town.\\nThe Emancipation Act of the imperial government was epoch-mak-\\ning in its far-reaching effects.
