RENOWNED PAL0S.
THE PORT WHENCE COLUMBUS
SAILED FOR A NEW WORLD.
Its Old Importance Gone-Visits to
she Ancient Monastery OF LaRabi-
da-Baptismal Records OF
Columbus's Crew.

Probably few Americans have ever
visited the little Spanish village OF Palos,-
the at one time important seaport OF
Spain from which Columbus set sail on
his wonderful voyage Of discovery. The
Palos of 1892 and the Palos of to-day
are vastly different. 1t was in that day
a thriving town and important seaport,
but to-day the banks OF the Rio Tinto at
Palos are wholly devoid of all signs OF
docks, piers, warehouses or buildings OF
any kind; nothing but wide morass
that is overfowed at high wafer, beyond
which are the vine cultured hills, and
still farther back, about half mile from
the river, the little village of Palos, all
vestige of old docks or shipping having
disappeared, not even stick or timber
being lett to mark the spot.
We took small sailboat at Huelva, an
important seaport of to-day, over to
Palos, which is situated about three miles
distant up the Rio Tinto on the east bank,
says A. w. Wheeler in the Chicago Post.
1t takes from half to three-quarters of an
hour in fair weather to make the
trip. On the way we passed the
noted ancient monastery, La Rabida,
where Columbus and his son Diego were
taken in and cared for by the good old
prior, Juan PERI de Marchena, during the
long and weary waiting for the Catholic
king and queen, Ferdinand and Isabella,
to make up their minds to foster Column
bus in his enterprise. The white walls
of La Rabida are plainly visible for miles
distant, being situated on high bluff
near the harbor and commanding fine
view of the surrounding country.
AS we approached Palos we were i'm
pressed with the barren outlook, there
being no visible signs of port or villages.
Only the white walls of an old ruin of an
hacienda, or farm house, are to be seen,
in which the soldiers have built small
barracks, they having been stationed
there to watch for any possible smug-
glers.
The little village of Palos, of about
five hundred inhabitants, which is be-
yond the hill, is, with the exception of
Passaic City record., 1891-06-20

chocolate I had ever tasted, we thanked
our kind host, saying we were obliged
to walk to La Rabida, distance'of three
miles, to meet our boat, for we could
not get aboard at Palos, as it was low
tide. Spaniards are as rule, priests as
well as Others, very hospitable, courteous
and kind; and, as an illustration, our
good cura friend kindly offered to ac-
company us the whole distance to La
Rabida, and We glady accepted his
company.
This walk was the most interesting
part of our trip, for along this same road
Columbus had walked more than hum
dred times while going from La Rabida
to Palos, often accompanied by the Prior
Marchena. The various parts of interest
that in any way related to Columbus the
the cura pointed out to us. Arriving at
the landing we found our boatmen wait
ing for us, and, bidding farewell to our
friend, we set sail and after half hours
pleasant ride across the bay arrived at
Huelva and took the 4 p. NJ. train back
to Sevilla.

only one in the village) Of st. George,
that has stood there for the past six hum
dred years, having been erected in the
thirteenth century, and at which Colum-
bus worshiped, we made inquiries OF
the crowd of boys who were following
us, apparently wondering what brought
us to town, and they guided US to it. 1t
is small, plain little church, with whites
washed walls, like the rest of the build
lngs, tile roof and small bell tower at
the side. We found it closed, but one
of the boys kindly offered to go after the
cura, Don Jose Murclano Marsai, who
soon appeared. After showing him my
letter of introduction, which was gen..
eral letter to all the Spanish clergy froH
the rector of the American College fat
Rome, he opened up the church for four
Passaic City record., 1891-06-20

the tops of few houses, invisible from
where we landed. Our landing from
the sailboat was novelty such as I had
never before experienced. We could get
no nearer than about one hundred feet to
dry land, so our accommodating boatman
carried us ashore on his back. Being
sure footed and muscular fellow, we got
safely over. That is the way tourists of
to-day are obliged to land at Palos.
1t is difficult to imagine that to have
been Columbus's point of embarkation.
The river at this point is about six hun
dred feet wide and navigable for boats
of considerable tonnage. After landing
we walked about half a mile over the
hill-or. rather, around ton the same
old road that Columbus had many times
travelled back and forth while superin-
tending the fitting out of his little fleet
the Santa Maria, Pinta and Nina-and
getting ready to embark ON his voyage to
the "New World" The narrow road
leading into the village is covered with
rough cobble stones, with no sidewalks,
and only passable for pedestrians or bur-
ros, the latter of which are used as the
sole means of transportation. We saw
no vehicle of any kind in Palos. The
buildings are all one-story high, built
mostly of brick covered with stucco, and
every one of them whitewashed.
The occupation of most of the people
seems to be that of farming the neigh
boring country and fishing. Being quite
anxious to see the little old church (the
Passaic City record., 1891-06-20

There was the same altar, with It's
gilded image of the Virgin Mary, the
same round pulpit, with its iron rallied
winding stairway leading TO it, before
which Columbus had worshiped. 1t is
very plain, old d-fashioned church, with
no paintings or ornamentation of any
kind. The cura invited us to dine with
him at his home where he could show us
the archieves of the church. We gladly
accepted his invitation. When we ar
rived he ushered us into his studio where
was the little wooden "archivo" with its
treasures Of historical value. He brought
out and showed ua the baptismal record
book, over 450 years old. in which were
the baptismal records of a number of the
crew of Columbus, including among
Others, that of Rodrigo de Triana, the
sailor who first sighted land from the
Pinta. This sailor was cheated out of
the reward offered by the king. Accord
ing to Ferdinand's promise the one who
frst sighted land should receive a large
reward. But when Rodrigo applied for
it, it was refused, a. which he was so en-
ragged that he left Spain and went to,
Morocco and renounced both his religion
and country. This old book of records
is worth more than its weight in gold.
The cura also had complete list of
the officers, and crew of Columbus He
made copy of the list aud gave it to
me. The total number of officers and
crew was 100.
After our dinner, which, by the way,
was very good one, he having served us
among other things some of the finest
