KING NECH0'S MARINERS.
Nes Light Throscm on a Voyage Described bv
HerOdOtQS
From The Manchester Guardian.

From The Manchester Guardian
Herodotus tells in the fourth book of his his
tory now Africa was circumnavigated from
Egypt in the reign of King Necho, in the sixth
century b c., and, though he was skepticaI
about the story himself, il has now received in
dependent confederation. Herodotus tells the
storv thus:
Necho sent TO sea number of ships manned
by PhGnlclans, with orders TO make for the Pill
lars Of Hercules, and return to Egypt through
them and by the Mediterranean The Phoni-
clans took their departure from Egypt by way
of the Red Sea, and sailed into the Southern
Ocean When autumn came they went ashore,
wherever they might happen TO be, and, having
sown tract Of land with corn, waited until the
grain was fit to cut Having reaped it they
again set sail And thus it came to pass that
two whole years went by. and it was not till the
third year that they doubled the Pillars of Her
their return they declared for my part do not
believe them, but perhaps others may-that in
sailing round Libya (Africa) they had the sun
upon their right hand. In this way the
tent of Libya first discovered.
The very circumstance that seemed to HerOd
otus incredible is proof Of the truth Of the
narrative. II simply means that when the
circumnavigators got south of the equator they
found the sun at noon in the north-on their
right hand when sailing Westward-Instead OF
in the south. where Herodotus and those OF his
time believed il must always be.
The story of this wonderful voyage-sureiy
the most wonderful in the worlds history, eX-
cepting only that Of Columbus-is now con
f1rTDed and the exact date fixed. according TO
the "Frankfurter Zeitung," from an Egyptlan
source a scarab lately obtained by the GER

which tells how King Necho sent out a messen-
per to sail round the unknown land He carried
ont the command, and returned by water TO
Bubastes, whence he had set out, and he related

his readers, also against the notion that the
book which is artistically written, which is
beautifully expressed, and which therefore con-
tains no expressions or descriptions which would
not be tolerated in the speech of polite society,
is necessarily inoffensive. and can be read with
inpunity by all alike. The test Of decency he
would apply is that OF a mother reading aloud
to her unmarried daughters, which he declares
TO be of the most instructive sights in the
world; and he tells US that he has often been
struck in such a case by the keenness of the
readers judgment and the consummate and
natural art with which she manages to skate
over the thin ice. Finally, he implores the fair
sex to whom the essay is particularly ad-
dressed. 10 read books of many styles and by
