1
00:00:07,667 --> 00:00:10,568
Mandy could not believe it.

2
00:00:10,569 --> 00:00:13,504
She was aboard the <font color="#ffff00"><i>Santa Maria</i></font>.

3
00:00:13,505 --> 00:00:16,837
And it was sailing away from the dock.

4
00:00:16,838 --> 00:00:20,599
"Where is Vinnie?" she wondered.

5
00:00:20,600 --> 00:00:23,535
Diego had disappeared too.

6
00:00:23,536 --> 00:00:27,035
Then Mandy spotted a familiar figure.

7
00:00:27,036 --> 00:00:32,162
It was Christopher Columbus, and he was speaking with some sailors.

8
00:00:32,163 --> 00:00:36,297
"Excuse me, sir!" she called out.

9
00:00:36,298 --> 00:00:39,856
Mandy took the book out of her pocket.

10
00:00:39,857 --> 00:00:42,997
A sailor grabbed her arm.

11
00:00:42,998 --> 00:00:47,654
"How did you get on the ship?" he asked, surprised.

12
00:00:47,655 --> 00:00:50,485
"You're a little girl!"

13
00:00:50,486 --> 00:00:54,729
"Wait a minute!" Christopher Columbus interrupted.

14
00:00:54,730 --> 00:00:58,171
"What do you have in your hand?"

15
00:00:58,172 --> 00:01:02,865
"This is why I'm here, sir," explained Mandy.

16
00:01:02,866 --> 00:01:05,719
"I found your book in the church.

17
00:01:05,720 --> 00:01:09,094
I knew it was important to you."

18
00:01:09,095 --> 00:01:13,063
"I thought it was lost," Columbus said.

19
00:01:13,064 --> 00:01:15,970
"This must be a sign from God.

20
00:01:15,971 --> 00:01:19,055
You have brought good luck for our journey."

21
00:01:19,056 --> 00:01:24,222
On another part of the ship, Vinnie was looking around.

22
00:01:24,223 --> 00:01:30,999
After he helped gather the spilled potatoes, Vinnie had somehow lost Mandy.

23
00:01:31,000 --> 00:01:34,107
The ship was full of activity.

24
00:01:34,108 --> 00:01:38,192
The <font color="#ffff00"><i>Santa Maria</i></font> was long and narrow.

25
00:01:38,193 --> 00:01:42,561
Vinnie counted more than 35 sailors aboard.

26
00:01:42,562 --> 00:01:49,319
They were uncoiling ropes, connecting equipment, and opening the large, white sails.

27
00:01:49,320 --> 00:01:53,981
Before he knew it, the ship was in open water.

28
00:01:53,982 --> 00:01:58,027
"I wonder what Mandy's doing," he thought.

29
00:01:58,028 --> 00:02:00,565
He looked behind him.

30
00:02:00,566 --> 00:02:04,642
The <font color="#ffff00"><i>Niña</i></font> and <font color="#ffff00"><i>Pinta</i></font> were following closely.

31
00:02:04,643 --> 00:02:08,794
They were smaller ships with fewer sailors.

32
00:02:08,795 --> 00:02:13,485
"Don't just stand there," said a young boy about Vinnie's age.

33
00:02:13,486 --> 00:02:16,173
He was holding a mop.

34
00:02:16,174 --> 00:02:20,399
"You'll get in trouble. Here, take this."

35
00:02:20,400 --> 00:02:24,084
"But, I'm not—," Vinnie began.

36
00:02:24,085 --> 00:02:27,234
The boy gave Vinnie an odd look.

37
00:02:27,235 --> 00:02:30,789
A big sailor walked over to them.

38
00:02:30,790 --> 00:02:35,035
"Why are you just standing there?" he demanded.

39
00:02:35,036 --> 00:02:37,552
"Get to work!"

40
00:02:37,553 --> 00:02:40,310
"Yes, sir!" cried Vinnie.

41
00:02:40,311 --> 00:02:43,694
He started mopping the deck quickly.

42
00:02:43,695 --> 00:02:46,309
The sailor walked away.

43
00:02:46,310 --> 00:02:50,651
"Thanks for the warning," Vinnie said to the boy.

44
00:02:50,652 --> 00:02:53,961
"I'm Manuel," the boy said.

45
00:02:53,962 --> 00:02:56,465
"This is my first time sailing.

46
00:02:56,466 --> 00:02:58,246
How about you?"

47
00:02:58,247 --> 00:03:01,818
"My first time too," said Vinnie.

48
00:03:01,819 --> 00:03:05,386
Together, the boys mopped the deck.

49
00:03:05,387 --> 00:03:09,054
It was wet from the mist of the ocean waves.

50
00:03:09,055 --> 00:03:16,023
Meanwhile, Mandy stood listening as Christopher Columbus spoke to some of his crew.

51
00:03:16,024 --> 00:03:20,885
She realized that each of them had a different job.

52
00:03:20,886 --> 00:03:23,600
One man was a carpenter.

53
00:03:23,601 --> 00:03:26,165
Another was a cook.

54
00:03:26,166 --> 00:03:30,582
A silversmith and a doctor were on board too.

55
00:03:30,583 --> 00:03:35,225
"Unexpected things happen at sea," Columbus was saying.

56
00:03:35,226 --> 00:03:39,899
"Each of you has a duty to make sure this voyage is successful."

57
00:03:39,900 --> 00:03:46,285
"Any wood that needs repair, the men can see me," said the carpenter.

58
00:03:46,286 --> 00:03:51,138
"I'll keep the meat well salted," said the cook.

59
00:03:51,139 --> 00:03:57,807
"Captain, I'll make sure your instruments are working perfectly," said the silversmith.

60
00:03:57,808 --> 00:04:04,847
"If any men get sick or break their bones, I will take care of them," said the doctor.

61
00:04:04,848 --> 00:04:11,371
"Good. And every day, I expect a report from each of you," said Columbus.

62
00:04:11,372 --> 00:04:22,372
"Yes, Captain," the men said.
