DENIES ST. eRAN0AN SAW AMERICA.

Sir-I see IL stated in TEN in The Tribune ot
this morning that the Most Rev. Robert Seton
Tituar Archbishop Of Heliopolis. In lecture at tho
Irish College IN Rome, whose subject was Thu
Irish in America intimated THAT St Brandan OF
ClOnfert. IN the sixth century, the first Euro
pean 20 visit the American continent
! do how any VINO is familiar with
the legend called The Navigation of St Rrandan''
could even intimate such q thing. There no more
solid foundation in that legend for intinna-
ton than there Is foundation In the "VeraciOus
History or the Greek L.UCian for an iutimatlOn
that the traveller OF that story reached the moon
But the idea intlmated by the Archbishop has APP
peared various times for than q hundred
years back, sometimes as an ntiTnatiOn only, ana
Sometimes positive statement. IL almost AL
ways appeared that the writer who put forward tba
idea not we'll acquainted with the legend H.
self. He also sometimes seemed 10 be ignO-
rant OF other things, as iu the Of the writer
who suggested that s.. Brandan's vessel must hava
reached the American continent by getting into M
Gulf Stream, apparently not knowing That rhe tSrlls
