Henry " Of France the hero OF the white plume
and the Battle OF Ivey, would have been equally
well pleased to steal the trade OF the Dutch. This
Dutch asked Hudson to Amsterdam
and talk things over with them. and when they de-
cided that they wouldn't do anything foy another
year. King Henry sent agent to the navigator
Then the Dutch concluded that there was no reason
for delay and Hudson was Immediately engaged
to go in search OF the coveted passage
They gave him a little vessel called the Half

his services, while his wife to receive $50 IN
addition TO this in he should lose his life
That is how IT happened that when the English
man. Henry Hudson. sailed up river that bears
his name he was flying the Dutch flag
When Hudson started his third voyage he
had no idea Of coming near this part of the
world but his crew refused to go with him into
the Icy waters Of the north not wishing to re-
turn without doing anything, he sailed down the
east coast Of North America in hope Of finding the
desired opening there. and thus he came ct the
beginning Of September, 1908. TO the mouth OF the
Hudson Other white had been there before
but Hudson was the first to explore the river. He
sailed up far Albany and found a country
the finest for cultivation he ever set foot on

the Dutch East India Company did not about
anything but the passage to the East and not
interested IN this and pleasant land It was
not till long afterward that they thought Of max
ing use Of It TO strengthen their claim TO New
Netherland.

fatal Northwest passage It shis last voyage

were never heard OF again. and only a few of the
conspirators succeeded IN getting back to England.
