Magellanˇ¦s old enemies, the Spanish officers, were glad that their leader was dead. Now they could proceed to the Spice Islands without further delay. They burnt Magellanˇ¦s log books, hoping to destroy all record of the mutiny and other quarrels. Then they scuttled the Concepcion, because there were not enough fit men left to sail her. When they reached the Spice Islands, they were so greedy that they overloaded the Trinidad with spices, silks and gold, and she sank. Only the Victoria, commanded by Sebastian del Cano, comp- leted the long voyage westward across the Indian Ocean, ro- und the coast of Africa, and so back to Spain. On 6 September 1522, she dropped anchor off the mouth of the River Guadalquivir. Out of the original company of 277 who had set sail from that same point three years earlier, only 18 had returned-the first men actually to circumnavig- ate the world.
