As Cabrillo traveled southward, away from the storms in the north. He has caught sight of a group of islands not too far south from San Miguel. Cabrillo was pleased to, once again, land his ships, as was the crew. However, the island natives were not as welcoming and friendly as the ones of San Miguel. We traded some goods with them, but they seemed displeased with us, considering us intruders. In fact, Cabrillo has gotten into a few arguments with some natives. Unfortunately today, Cabrillo got into a disagreement with some natives and a fight broke out. Cabrillo battled some natives and one of them managed cause horrible damage to Cabrillo's leg. One of the crew members diagnosed Cabrillo's injury as a horrible break. Cabrillo is in very weak and bad shape and in no condition to explore anything. He is currently being tended to, but his wound does not look good. We do not have the supplies needed to treat Cabrillo's injury, which has caused him to be very ill. Some crew members and our priest are doing the best they can to nurse and help him. We are in hopes of good health for Cabrillo. Keep checking The Journey of Juan Rodriguez Cabrillo for further information on this tragedy.
This is a map showing Cabrillo's progress all leading up to the islands he discovered.
