Should I Meet With Gold Or Spices In Great Quantity Day was an American holiday which briefly replaced Columbus Day, before both were permanently retired.

Columbus

". . . . I am not solicitous to examine particularly everything here, which indeed could not be done in fifty years, because my desire is to make all possible discoveries, and return to your Highnesses, if it please our Lord, in April. But in truth, should I meet with gold or spices in great quantity, I shall remain till I collect as much as possible, and for this purpose I am proceeding solely in quest of them."

Columbus (Friday, 19 October 1492)
