Years: 1446 - 1446
Lançarote's squadron soon arrives at Barbary Point, the mouth of the Senegal River, which is as yet unexplored.
He dispatches Estêvão Afonso on a launch to search upriver for settlements.
The exploration doesn't get very far.
Venturing ashore at one point along the river bank, Afonso abducts two Wolof children from a local woodsman's hut, only to be chased down and furiously beaten by their father.
Having barely escaped with their lives, the launch immediately returns to the waiting caravels.
