Frobisher, the Explorer, Found /
Over 300 Years Ago.

Over 300 Years Ago.
More than 300 years ago, in the reign
of Elizabeth, the idea of reaching China
by sailing round the northern coast of
America was revived, and Martin Fro
bisher, one of the most celebrated navi-
gators of his day, received the support
of the queen in fitting out two small
vessels to search for the northwest
passage"

named the Gabriel, was of only twenty
i've tons burden, and the other, the
Michael, of twenty tons With these
rldlculously small vessels, loaded with
provisions calculated to last twelve
months, the daring navigator set sail
from London on the 18th of June, 1876.
on the 21st of July, according TO the
New Work Morning Journal, he entered
the strait which was afterward named
after the great explorer Davis, and
sailed north, until his way was blocked
by an enormous ice-fieId stretching
from mainland to mainland Anchor
ing his vessel to a mass of ice near
the Greenland side, Forbisher went on
shore to look about. Here he fell in
with body of natives, who at first
showed signs of hostility. but the cap
tain soon reached a friendly under
standing with them.
The seeming friendship of the natives
was not to be relied upon, however, for
several days following five of the crew
went on shore to trade with the Esuui-
maux, and failing to return, strict
search was made for them, but they

tlty OF black stone, which was so heavy
that he brought a piece on board as a
curiosity
The captain now decided to return to
England, as the winter was rapidly
drawing near, making it necessary to
escape at once from the strait unless
he proposed to incur the risk of hav;ng
his ship frozen in the ice On the End of
October. the Gabriel arrived in the
Thames amid great rejoicing, for she
had been given up for lost
The black stone was given as a
polar curiosity to a wealthy patron of
the captain, who exhibited it to a friend
