the prestige of the American nation in

even a hostile demonstration. The first

Incoming ship (when he is hundreds of
miles from shore) that he finds the

very leaky. No better proof of his cool
ness and pluck could be given.
The start was made at I: 80 Wednesday,
July Goth, the destination being Palos,
Spain. Capt. Andrews has instr uctions to
scour the seas until he discovers that port
and the starting point of Columbus. 1t Is
believed that. sailing in fourteen foot
boat without SO much as hot cup of
coffee to vary his diet of biscuits and
canned goods, he will, single handed,
eclipse the record of that Spanish Italian
adv enturer who almost failed to
cross the great ocean with three
ships, $50 men, after securing the Queens
jewels To pawn and having the blessing of
the church thrown i'll. This Columbus is
sailing in boat which had never been in
the water until the hour when he started
on his 1000 mile trip. He has been spoken
ia midOcean several times, scorning all
assistance and confident of ultimate sue
cess. His effort should interest all Ameri-
cans as test of pluck, endurance and
good seamanship. That it is no fool
hardy affair is lrJve by his former sue
cess and by the notable trip in which he
battled for siXty-two days without reach
ing the other side. TIL jusands of people
saw the start, his presence at different
points on the ocean has been noted by large
numbers of vessels, and his landing on the
other side will no doubt be made a matter
of public demonstration and rejoicing. As
he sailed from the pier he
