and reached the eastern coast of Labrador on
June a. 1906 Thinking he had made clear
route to Asia. he then landed and. erecting a
large cross bearing aloft the flag Of England. he
took possession of the entire country for the
King of England. He then sailed back to Eng
land and reached there about fourteen months
before Christopher Columbus made his voyage to
the mainland OF North America.
About year afterward. in April 1885 with
his son Sebastian and five ships, Cabot made a
second voyage to America and explored the coast
far south perhaps Cape Hatteras. These
voyages were very important To England as
they gave her claim 10 the Atlantic seaboard
and the right to colonize North America, al
though one hundred years allowed to pass
before permanent settlement made. Cabot
was then known the real discovcrer of the
American continent. The people honored him
him the name OF Great Admiral" For giving
him the title to North America the king pre-
scented him with $50 and a pension, to be paid
for. however. by the port OF Bristol.
