The ship on which Columbus has boarded leaves the isle of Chios. Notwithstanding, John, fearing that a storm is approaching, has a discussion with the captain in the hopes of persuading him to wait the storm out. Unfortunately, the captain does not take kindly to John's point of view, and for this, has John locked under the deck. That night, the ship collides with a rock before the storm sets in. Unfortunately, in order to save the ship and the lives of the crew, John must sacrifice his own life.
