Don Benito Cereno ("Benito Cereno") Timeline and Summary

Don Benito's ship, the San Dominick, sails with Benito's friend Don Aranda and Aranda's slaves.
The slaves, led by Babo, overthrow the Spanish crew and seize control of the ship.
The former slaves kill many of the Spanish including Don Aranda. They demand to be sailed to an African port.
Don Benito stalls, and eventually after hardship they find the American ship The Bachelor's Delight off Chile.
Babo figures out a plan to pretend that the slaves are still slaves, so Delano will resupply them and they can be on their way again.
It almost works…but when Delano goes over the side leaving the ship, Benito leaps after him, freeing himself from Babo.
Delano's men kill or capture all the slaves.
Benito cannot escape his traumatized depression, however. He enters a monastery and he dies only a few months after Babo is executed.
