August 10, 1519, the little fleet of five ships started on their hazardous voyage, which only one of them evei completed. To equip this expedition cost over S250OOO.
 After many months of struggle and disappointment a western passage was at last discoyered-now called the Strait of Magellan. But even N hen the little had managed to get through this into the calm waters Of the Pacific, their troG'0les were only beginning. For ninety eight days they crossed this sea, only twice sighting land-to bare little islands. sterile and unhabitated 'Sawdust and rats became coveted food. But at last in March, 1521, the l-adrones were dis covered, and little while afterward the Philippines.
 From these islands Magellan never came away. Fighting on the side of one of the native chiefs against a hostile tribe. he. was killed on ADrii 27, 152l.

@ OUR little ships-battered
 storm driven, their rigging narrow. tortuous strait fringed by snow-clad mountains. Up and down on the deck of the foremost vessel, the Trinidad, strode a thin, haggard man, peering ahead through the mist with anxious eyes. Beside him walk ed another man, bearded, talking in short, sharp sentences. Loader and louder grew his words, fiercer and fiercer his gestures: but the haggard man said nothing, only shaking his head stubbornly
 This was Magellan, the first man with the courage to attempt to sail entirely round the world, Elshins on, as he said, "even if we had to eat the leather of the rigging" That was the brave commanders last day of doubt, however, for on the next day, the tN enty-eighth of November, 1920. his little fleet rounded the Cabo Des- eado, the desired" western end of the Strait of Magellan, and sailed into the neaceful ocean named "Pacif- ic'' by Magellan himself.
 Ferdinand Magellan had an excit- ing life. He was born in Portugal about 14S0. He was only twentyfodr when he made his first voyage to India, where he was wcnded in bat le. A few years later he fought bra vely against the 'Malays at Malacca and received as reward for his many services the rank of captain. He continued to distinguish himself or many subsequent voyages and can- paigns.
 But he was not contented with the honors he had won. Like Columbus and most of the adventurers of that time, Magellan dreamed always of a shorter route to the East by sailing westward. His idea was that at the extreme south of South America there was a strait.
 About this time lie got into trouble with Manuel. king of Portugal, and renounced his nationality, going to
