ERDINAND Magellan, four
hundred years ago this fall, dis

hundred years ago this fall, dis
covered the straits now bearing
his name. He worked his way west
ward through the stormy and tortuous
passage between seas at the southern
end of South America. Finding the
western ocean peaceful, he named it
Pacific. He then sailed to the Philip
pines, where he found an unknown
grave. One ship of his little fleet
finally completed its long and trying
voyage around the world.
The world made much of the four
hundredth anniversary of Columbus
great discovery. Only Chile cele-
brated this anniversary of Magellan.
Yet it may be fairly asked: Was
not Magellan's achievement the
greatest? And if it was, is not
Magellan the greatest of navigators !?
To be sure, as John Fiske very pro-
perly points out, Magellan's voyage
has not the unique historic position
of the first voyage of Columbus,
(which brought together two streams
of human life that had been disjointed
since the glacial period"
Columbus sailed to reach the "Spice
islands" and mistakenly believed to
his dying day that he had succeeded.
Magellan succeeded in doing what
Columbus attempted.
Before Magellan met his death in
the Philippines he had, the first of
men, completed the circle of the
earth, for before setting out on his
voyage to the west he had visited the
Far East in the service of the Portu-
guese, and had passed the meridian to
which he attained on his last voyage.
While he did not live to finish his
career in triumph on the one ship
which finally reached Spain, after an
absence of a few days under three
years, he had in his two voyages, one
to the east and the other to the west,
made the circuit of the globe.
So Magellan's voyage, considered
from the viewpoint of its scientific re-
suits, of voyage of exploration and
of a test of courage and endurance,
seems the greatest achievement in
ocean navigation of all history.
1t is fitting that the Chileans should
celebrate this anniversary of this great
navigator. Portugal, his native land,
and Spain, under whose flag he made
the great voyage, have been invited
to participate in the celebration.
There will be ceremonies both at
Punta Arenas and at the Chilean cap
ital, Santiago. A bronze statue. of
Magellan will be set up. Punta
Arenas will be the center of activities.
1t is small and rather dreary place,
inside the wide arm of the straits at
the end of South America in the
Land of Fires"
The life of Fernao Maga1haes, to
give him his Portuguese name, has
been as neglected as that of Columbus
has been exploited. Yet of all the ex-
plorers of his time his career offers the
least doubt and his voyage was the
most carefully recorded. He had the
advantage of having taken with him a
very capable reporter, an Italian gen.
tleman from the city of Vicenza, one
Antonio Pigafetta, who completed the
whole tour of the world and wrote
an account of it. 1t was soon trans

second voyage around the world. His
name was Francis Drake.
Magellan sailed north till the mid
die of December, then turned west.
He sailed for three months and
eighteen days across the unknown
Pacific. What must have been the
agonies of that voyage into the un-
known; what triple bronz" and
heart of oak for commander to have
met all those trials. We know from
the journals of the physical tortures
of the long journey. Food and water
almost disappeared. The leather
from the yards was soaked in the wa
ter and eaten. Men held their nos
trils while they drank the putrid wa
ter. Scurvy broke out in its most
malignant form. Many died and
l:early all the others were sick.
At length, on March 6, 1921, they
reached the islands they named the
Ladrones, islands of the thieves"
March l6 they reached the Philip
pines, the first Europeans to visit those
islands. Magellan named them the
Islands of Saint Lazarus.
Here the great explorer met his
death in miserable fight on the shore
of the little island of Mactan, or
Matan, literally overwhelmed by
swarm of savages. They refused to
give up his body, and his burial place
can never be surely known. A few
years ago some Spaniards erected a.
frail and ,asteless monument on the
spot where they supposed Magellan
fell. The king of the island of Cebu,
having previously professed conver-
sion and been baptized, decided to get
rid of his visitors, by means of ban
quet, followed by a massacre. Thirty
of the leading men of the expedition
fell in this way. Of the 280 men
who had sailed from Spain only lis
were now left. The Conception was
no longer seaworthy and was burned.
There remained the Trinidad and the
Victoria. Sebastian Elcano, who had
been among the mutineers of Port St.
Julian, become captain general of the
two remaining ships.
The two remaining ships visited
Borneo next. They were ready to
start on the rest of the voyage home
over familiar route around the Cape
of Africa when the Trinidad sprang
a bad leak. 1t was therefore decided
that the Victoria should set out alone,
while the Trinidad should make re-
pairs and then sail for Panama with
a cargo of spices. Of the 1O1 men
now surviving, 81 were assigned to
the Trinidad and ~ to the Victoria.
The Trinidad never finished her
voyage. After running north some
weeks she was forced to turns back,
nearly wreck, and reached the
Moluccas with only 19 men left alive
on her. The survivors were seized by
the hostile Portuguese and only the
Espinosa, and three of the.
crew ever saw Spain again.
In the meantime the Victoria, had
made the Cape of Good Hope, crossed
the equator on June 7, and soon
reached the Cape Verde islands on
July IS. Eight weeks later, Septem-
Der E, 1922, the Victoria sailed into
the Spanish river she had left nearly
three years before. She had only IS
men on board.

MAGELLAN, GREATEST OF NAVIGATORS
Selected

CLGQ
mass before going ON board, Magel-
Ian was warned and was unafraid.
The little armada left the Canaries
on October 3, 1919, and ran down
the African coast for several weeks,
buffeted by heavy storms, while food
and water grew scarce.
On November % the ships reached
the coast of Brazil near Pernambuco.
Through February and March they
followed the coast southward, and
finally found shelter in the harbor of
St. Julian and settled down there to
pass the winter on the last day of
March. On the next day, which was
Easter, the smoldering mutiny- broke
out.
The way in which Magellan
crushed that formidable uprising in
his own ranks is the best indication
of the character of the commander
that has been left to us. When the
mutineers had three of the five ships
in their control. Magellan made
raid on Mendoza's ship, the Victoria,
and that captain met his death with
a dagger thrust in the throat. The
two other ships were blockaded.
Strong parties then boarded the San
Antonio, and that ship was captured.
\ he third ship, the Conception, there
upon surrendered. Quesada was be-
headed and quartered. Cartagena of
the San Antonio and a guilty priest,
Pero Sanchez, were kept in irons un-
til the ships sailed and left on shore
to perish.
In the following month the Santa
go was wrecked while reconnoitering,
but without the loss of any of her
crew.
On the 24th day of that August
400 years ago the remaining four
ships started on the great voyage. On
October 81 they reached and found
the passage through the southern tip
of South America. More than five
weeks passed while the little feet
made its way through the 320 miles
of the strait, exploring its many per-
picking twists and turns. Here they
were deserted by the San Antonio,
which turned back to Spain, where it
arrived six months later.
Finally, on November 28, Magel-
Ian looked upon the great western
ocean. To be sure, he was not the
first European to set eyes upon that
vast expanse of water. That distinc-
ton belongs to a young Spaniard,
Nunez de Balboa, who had slipped
over to Darien from Hispaniola by
way of an empty cask on board a ship
and from a mountain had looked out
over the Bay of San Miguel, below
the present city of Panama, upon
Dvhat the natives called the Great
South sea, and whose fame has been
eclipsed by the unfortunate slip of the
poet who put STOUT Cortez" upon
that peak in Darien. Half century
later young Englishman looked up
on the same overpowering sight and
swore he would sail an English ship
upon that ocean. He did, and fol-
lowed the great Magellan in the

full Pigafetta, says the New York
Times Book Review. The journal
has been more recently translated by
Lord Stanley of Alderly in his First
Voyage Around the World" while
F. H. H. Guillemard of Cambridge
has supplied an excellent biography Of
Magellan and account of the voyage.
In recounting Magellans momen-
tous voyage it is necessary to 60 back
to the famous bull of Pope Alexander
vi which divided the world between
the Spanish and the Portuguese. The
Spaniards were forbidden to sail to
the Indies by the way of the Cape of
Good Hope, and their only. hope of
reaching this most desired of all lands
was by finding way to the west
through the Mundus Novus. At this
time belief that such a passage ev-
listed far to the south was well fixed
in mnay minds.
Having proposed to his king, Man
uel of Portugal, that he make this
voyage through the strait he presumed
to be there, and having met with a re-
fusai, the Portuguese asked permis-
sion to offer his services elsewhere.
The king said "he might do as he
pleased" and did not offer his hand
to be kissed at parting.
In October, 1917, therefore,
Magellan arrived in Seville and at
once found the favor he had missed
at home in the sight of Charles V. 1t
was decided at once to fit out an ex-
petition. More than a year passed
in preparations and on September 20,
1919, a little feet of five vessels
cleared the mouth of the Guadalquivir
and passed out to sea on the culminat-
ing voyage of the great age of dis
covery.
The ships and their commanders
were as follows:
Trinidad, 10 tons-Captain, Gen.
Ferdinad Magellan; pilot, Estevan
Gomez.
San Aantonio, l20 tons-Captain,
Juan de Cartagena.
Conception, 90 tons Captain,
Gaspar Quesada.
Victoria, IS tons-Captain, Luis
de Mendoza.
Santiago, IS tons-Captain, Juan
Serrano.
The crews of these five ships were
a mixture Of many nationalities-a'
peculiarly fitting complement, since
the voyage was much less gain for a
single nation Gas was the discovery of
the new world) but rather contri-
button to the fund of human know
ledge and an introduction of the
world to all the people who live upon
it. There were about 280 men on
board.
OF the four captains only one
proved faithful. The others had
plotted treason even before the ships
sailed and while they knelt at the final

Life Insurance AS
An Aid To Credit

The man who has insured his life
speaks not only good health and strong
character, but also a definite financial
standing. A life insurance policy is
always listed as an asset, whether it
reverts to character or money. It helps
to give its holder standing in whatever
field he cares to venture. 49,
The policyholder who is looking for
credit or loan Of money will find his
insurance policy. very valuable indeed.
II he seeks loan from a bank he will
be presented with an information blank
which will contain among other ques-
tons, the inquiry, "How much life in
surance do you carry?" The figures
which he can truthfully place opposite
that question will have a great deal to-
do with his getting the loan. The fact
that he places figure there at all will
count very much in his favor. And,
the larger the amount, the greater the
consideration he will receive,
The same is true of the man who is
seeking credit. Credit associations
throughout the country are agreed that
the life insurance policy shall be con-
sidered in their statements. When
man desires credit, he will find that
one Of the questions he will have to
answer will be as to the amount Of his
insurance, If any. It is only sensible
to assume that If a man is conscien-
tious in providing protection for his
family, he will not be liable to neglect
his debts Furthermore, when he is
the holder Of an insurance policy, he is
thereby d .l recognized BY the company that
