The king and queen had realized their mistake and finally freed Christopher from jail. They even paid for another voyage across the Ocean Sea. Unfortunately, his ships leaked so badly that he became stranded for an entire year on an island he called Jamaica. Christopher was feeling slightly sad. He then decided that his explorations have come to an end as the king and queen refuse to pay for a fifth voyage. At least he could retire a hero in the end.
