Arms and feet bound with buckskin
thongs, the prisoner showed no trace
OF fear. The clear gray eyes, set in
his bronzed face, watched with appar-
ent unconcern the granting savages
quit their council and approach him
with the grin of fierce satisfaction on
their faces. Nor did he vince when
each savage as he passed cut him
with singing lash. But now the
last moment had come. Tomahawk
in hand, the chief warrior came over
to the kneeling Englishman, while the
surrounding warriors watched for a
sign of weakening. The Ratchet was
raised; the kneeling man was inward
ly bidding farewell to the fair world
about him. Suddenly, quick as a
panther, there sprang through the cir
Gle of Indians the chiefs daughter.
She threw herself upon the captive's
neck and talked in her soft gutturals
fast and vehemently. Her plea was
successful; for the tomahawk was
lowered and the captive freed Thus,
according to the oft told story, did
Pocahontas save the life of John
Smith, captain and governor of the
colony of Virginia
Born in 1879, John Smith was the
eldest son of tenant farmer in Lin
colnshire, England, and early showed
love for adventure. He made trip
to France, became soldier under
Henry Nv. of that country, and then
went to Holland. Returning, he erect
ed hut of boughs near a pretty
stream In the country, and stayed
there reading the art of war and the
essays of Marcus Aurelius Then along

Long favorite of Queen Eliza
beth, later the occupant of a dungeon
| in the Tower of London, and finally
suffering death at the hands of the
executioner,-this was the lot of Sir
Walter Raleigh, poet, courtier, soldier,
America. Born in Devonshire in 1852
OF an old family, young Raleigh for a
time studied at Oxford, and later lived
in the Temple, one of the great law
schools of London. He then took part
in several expeditions of discovery in
which he lost money. He went to
court in the train of the Earl of Lei
cester, and it was at this time that he
is said to have thrown his cloak on
the ground to let Queen Elizabeth
walk upon it over puddle He rose
into great favor with the queen, and
received many gifts and privileges
from her, being knighted in 1854. 1t
is said that he first introduced the
growing of tobacco and the potato into
Ireland.
Raleigh made many attempts at col
onization in America. In 1884 he sent
his captain to Florida and as far north
as North Carolina. Raleigh named all
the land thereabout Virginia in honor
of Elizabeth, the virgin queen. In 1856
his colonists under Sir Richard Gren-
vile made settlement on Roanoke
Island; but they deserted when Sir
Francis Drake appeared there the fol-
lowing year. Other fruitless attempts
were made in 1886 and 1887. The sec

ond colony was found massacred by
the Indians. When the place was again
visited in 1890, the third had disap-
peared absolutely without leaving a
trace. The only message were the
words 'To Croatan" cut in the bark of
birch tree. Croatan was an Indian
village; but the sailors were too ter
ror-stricken to go there, and from that
day to this nothing has ever been
heard of the colonists. In this colony
were William and Eleanor Dare,
whose daughter, Virginia Dare, was
the first English child to be born on
American soil.
Discouraged, Sir Walter Raleigh
gave up his attempts at colonization.
In 1903 he was accused of conspiracy
and was thrown into prison by James
l., who had succeeded Queen Eliza
beth. After many years he was re-
leased on his promise to James |. that
he would find a gold mine in Ameri-
ca without intruding on Spanish pos
sessions. He was allowed to make the
attempt; but was warned that should
he arouse the anger of Spain he would
be put to death.
He sailed into the Orinoco the last
day of 1917, i'll with fever. He sent
his son and the captain up the river
where they found a Spanish settle
ment and attacked it. Raleigh's son
was killed, and no gold could be
found.
True to his threat, King James
promptly seized Raleigh on his re-
turn, and he was executed in 1913.

island, whence he was rescued next
day by a vessel bound for Egypt. He
finally reached Hungary and entered
the emperor's service against the
Turks. In the presence of both arm
les, as a champion of the Christians
he beheaded three Turks in one day
In 1902 he was left wounded on the
field captured, and sent to Constan-
tinople as slave. There a princess
fell in love with him. Fearing her
she sent him to her brother Timor in
Tartary. Timor, suspecting the truth
put irons on him, clothed him in hair
cloth, and made him slave in his
harvest field
One day the Englishman slew Timor
put on his clothes, hid the body
mounted his horse, and escaped, COM
ing at last to Germany, where the
Prince of Hungary met him and re-
warded him for his feat against the
Turks. Thence he wandered through
Germany, France, Spain, Morocco, and
back to England.
In 1906, with three vessels and 10J
men, he set out to establish a colony
in Virginia, where Raleigh's colonies
had persisted The little fleet was
blown into Chesapeake Bay, and fin
ally found the James River. James
town was founded May 10, 1907. Pri-
vations followed,-food was scarce;
Indians menaced sickness appeared
Smith was everywhere, hunting, fight
ing with the Indians, bartering for
food. New colonists coming, plotted
against his life. In his boat asleep
they set fire to his powder. He was
terribly burned, and jumping into the
water was nearly drowned. He was
sent home in 1909, and never returned
When contemplating history of the
sea, Smith died in 1882 and was buried
in st. Sepulchre's, London.
