Explorations by Frobisher.
In the voyages of Martin F'robisher the
discovery of short way to Asia was
only a secondary object The British
spectators at whose cost they were
undertaken looked mainly to the profit
from successful search for gold. though
they were not unmindful of the advan-
taGes to be gained by shortening the dis
tance TO the Spice Islands of the east
The whole amount subscribed for the
three voyages of Frobisher was upward
of twenty thousand pounds. Among the
subscribers were Queen Elizabeth who
leigh. the Earl and Countess of War
wick, the Earl Of Leicester, the Earl and
Countess Of Pembroke Sir Philip Sidney,
Sir Thomas Gresham, founder of the
British system OF finance; Sir Francis
Walsingham .and others scarcely less
conspicuous IN that generation.
Frobisher's first expedition consisted OF
three tiny vessels, the Gabriel of
twenty-five tons; the Michael, of twenty
tons, and pinnace Of ten tons. They set
low London. the 10th of June 1876, but il
was not until the 1st of July that they
were clear of the coast of England. Not
long after. coming in sight of Friesland
Frobisher parted company with the pin
mace, in which were four men, who were
never seen again. About the same time
the Michael slipped away without warn
ing and returned to England. Neverthe-
less, Frobisher pressed on and on the
