xrcck-i sgaih nezr the mouth at tte
river la Plafs. in south America, and for
more than t~o YEAR nothing MAS heard
from him by his friends a, hom-. lie
the country in which he found himself,
and accepted the Office Of suIercargo Of
vessel about TO sail for Valparaiso. In
the several voyages which followed be
became familiar with the western coast
Of South America, and from this may be
dated the beginning of his extraordinary
career. In 1925 he was made United
States Consul at Guayaquil, just after the
Spanish colonies had thrown off the yoke
and established their INTERCHANGEABLE
very year when Daniel Webster, ON the
18th OF June, at Bunker Hill, uttered
these memorable words: I'm our day
there has been, as it we're, a new crea-
ton. The Southern Hemisphere energies
from the sea; its lofty mountains begin
to lift themselves into the light of heav-
en-; its broad and fertile plains stretch
out in beauty to the eye of civilized man
and ct the mighty bidding of the voice
of political liberty, the waters Of dark
ness retire."
Now let Us see what this man, cast
upon the shores Of strange land, friend
less and money! less, has done for the
Southern half Of the American continent.
Forty years ago, when he entered upon
his work, modern inventions and i'm.
provements in that region were absolute
ly unknown, and the first thing that he
said to himself was, ''These States must
be brought into communication with each
other and with the rest Of the world, or
they can never flourish" This was in
the year 1885, at which time the smoke
Of steamer had never darkeued the sky
on the Pacific coast. The introduction
of steam traffic is, therefore, the problem
to which he now addresses himself.
Nothing is to be hoped for from the
transitOry governments Of the States ex-
cept permission to introduce the new
form of traffic and protection against i'm
pertinent intcrference-a grant that was
wrung from them not without much diff.
fculty. He was too wise to lay before
the officials all that was in his mind. This
would have resulted in his being secuted
as visionary fool. Accordingly, he
asked for little, knowing what must come
in the end If that little were allowed.
Que thing that he asked for was denied,
authority to construct rail,oay across tho
Isthmus; and, remember, this was more
than forty years agoi
Nothing Of any account could he done
in South America towards carrying his
plans into execution, and in 1888 this
enterprising man appears in London to
see If he can manage to enlist the solid
merchants and bankers of England in his
project. He begins with approaching
the public through the press, all the lead
ing papers expressing warm approval aud
sympathy, although the Timss great
Thunderer then, As it has been ever since
declared that the administration would
do nothing to aid the scheme, predic-
ton that was not fulfilled. A large pub
lie meeting Was held in 1910, presided
over by Sir Edward Perry. Her Msjes-
tvs government Was memorialized, the
"Pacific Steamship Navigation Compa-
ny" organized, the money subscribed and
paid, too large steamers were built, and
in the moeth Of October they made their
appearance in the harbor Of valpsrsiso.
amid the ringing of bells, the music Of
hands and salvas Of artillery. whea the
