Rev. Dr. Watcrston. of Boston, offered some
suggestions in regard TO the failure of Sir Frau
els Drake to discover the Bay Of San Francisco,
a tonic introduced by the naper read hv Rev Mr.,
Hale. There were several reasons why Drake
should fail to pass the Golden Horn and enter
that magnificent bay IL could not really be dis
covered nv one sailing hy at some distance from
the coast; and. as the wind much of the time
blows towards the coast, navigation is prccari.
GUS and nayirat0rs would avoid nppr0achinu
the coast too nearly without special reason for
doing so. At any rate, Drake did not enter the
BAY of San Francisco.
Hon. Charles Sumner suggested that Drake
might have avoided n close approuch to that
part of the coast. because il was then occupied
by the Spaniards. He did not care to land With
in the Spanish jurisdiction. Mr. Sumner then
referred TO Mr.. Hale's statement that the Pacific
Oceans about TO become the worlds Medterra
mean, on which we shall plav n foremost part
1t may he that we shall not so recover activity
on the Atlantic as to make ourselves supreme
there: but We can be supreme on the Pacific
