The two ships he sent out in 1532 never re- turned. In 1533 the Conception and San Ldzaro discovered the extremity of the peninsula, but were otherwise unfortunate. The expedition of 1535, led by Cortes himself, landed at the bay of Santa Cruz, possibly La Paz, but failed i...n the purpose of estab- lishing a colony.

The viceroy, Antonio de Mendoza, . Next took up the burden of northward exploration. To co-operate with Coronado in the search for the famous Seven Cities of Cibola he sent Hernando d'Alarcon, in 1540, by sea to the head of the gulf. Mendoza had no better fortune than Cortes in discovering fabulous lands and cities, but by his next venture, the expedition under Cabrillo and Ferrelo, in 1542, the California coast was explored to 40 26'.
