the news reached England that a
sailor named Columbus had reached
the East Indies by sailing westward.

northern extremity of Cape Breton
Island. North America had been dis

soil fertile and the climate pleasant,
was firmly convinced that he had
reached the northeastern coast of
Asia. from where came the silks and
precious stones that he had seen at
Mecca The royal banner was un-
furled, and in solemn form he took
possession of the country in the name
of King Henry VII. of England.

he FASTENED to court. where the king
gave him $50 for having found the

The following year Cabot made a
second voyage of discovery, hoping
this time to secure some of the ia

sailed too far to the north, and was
finally forced to return without hav-

A THOUGH it was Columbus
~ who discovered the land of the
4 western hemisphere, North
America was really discovered by the
Cabots, John and his son Sebastian.
And it is interesting to note that,
while all three of these men were
Italians. their great discoveries were
made under the flags of foreign coun-
tries. Columbus, who never knew
that he had found a new land, but
believed always that he had reached
Asia, served the king of Spain. The
Cabots were in the employ of English
