zxPLoRnRs IN THE PACIFIC
Spanish ships oruissd In It for Years,
but Discovered Nothing

The first European explorer. who
looked down upon the broad waters Of
the Pacific saw them stretch away calm
and unrufiied into the apparently end
less distance OF the south, and 1t was
from this circumstance that the greatest
of the oceans got the two names by
which 1t has ever since been known, Of
''the Pacific" and ''the South sea-"
We can fancy what visions Of wonders
hidden behind the vale Of sea mist must
have fioated before the imagination OF
Balboa on that peak in Darien when he
fell upon his knees and thanked God
that 1t had fallen to his lot to make the
great discovery. It 10 easy to suppose
that his Imagination pictured new con-
tinents rising out Of the vast expanse
of ocean containing empires greater
than Cortez found in Mexico and treas
ures more rich than were ever dreamed
of by the Incas Of Peru, and whatever
these might be. they were all the inheri-
tance OF Spain. But whatever those
dreams may have been, 1t Is certain they
were doomed to disappointment. In the
first century that followed the discovery
Of the great ocean indeed, good many
of the adventurous ships of Spain sailed
the waters Of the South sea. but their
efforts ended In failure for the most
part. The reports they brought back
from their voyages were for the most
part of sea-nothing but sea. One or
two indeed discovered and landed upon
islands, but not one ever reached the
shores Of the only continent that lay hid
den in the unknown waters Of the South
sea.
It Is easy to understand their expert
ence when we look at map Of that part
of the world, for we shall find that a line
drawn around the globe ten degrees
south Of the equator would pass through
more than 10000 miles Of ocean and less
than 1000 Of land. South of this line the
only large pieces Of land are the south
point Of Africa and the narrowest part
OF South America and the island conti-
nent Of Australia. Except the island Of
Madagascar there Is no land Of any con-
siderable extent In all the great expanse
OF the Indian ocean, and the still more
vast extent Of the south Pacific is only
dotted here and there by groups Of
beautiful but widely scattered islands,
lovely in form and lavishly endowed with
a marvellous variety Of natural produce
tions, but so diminutive in size that they
must be sought with all the advantages
of modern science in the vast wilderness
of ocean by which they are surrounded.
