The Bermuda islands suggest the
adventures Of Robinson Crusoe I'm their
colonization and present in their later
States history, with the events pre-
dated by a number of years.
The Robinson Crusoe comparison
obtrudes because the island was dis
result of shipwrecks, and the settlers
had TO build themselves a bark to set
sail again.
AS for the anticipation of American
history on a miniature scale, IT may
be noted that the colonization took
place seven years before the Pilgrims
landed at Plymouth, Mass. that witch
es were burned, Quakers were perse-
cuted, and miscreants were ducked
before similar occurrences are recorded
in New England, and that slavery was
abolished in 1884. The Bermudians
protested long before 1776 against the
mother country'S rule, until the island
prisons were overfull; but relief
laration of freedom, but by the ac-
cession Of Cromwell.
But the essential point of contact Of
the American with the Bermudian
arises from the all-but-forgotten fact
that while the immortal Lafayette gal
lantly helped the colonies conclude
their war of independence, the Bermu-
dians supplied the ammunition to be-
gin it.
So acute was the need for powder in
1775 that George Washington wrote to
the governor of Rhode Island that mo
quantity, however small, is beneath
notice" Learning that there was a
store in Bermuda, and that the island
ers were anxious to have the embargo
lifted upon shipment of food supplies
from the colonies, Washington address
ed letter TO the people of the island,
who had shown themselves sympa-
thetic with the American revolution
lists, promising them ample supply OF
provisions and every other mark of
affection and friendship which the
grateful citizens of a free country can
bestow on its brethren and benefac-
tors" If they would make this ammu-
milton available for the Continental
army.
1t so happened that the powder had
been procured before the letter was
delivered. and with 1t the Continental
army compelled the British to evacu-
ate Boston.
Not only the sale of the powder. but
the fact that Bermuda allowed the
colonies TO have salt, so incensed its
governor that he upbraided the citizens
for treason. and feeling ran so high
that he was removed. His successor
was a native of Salem. Mass. whose
loyalty TO the mother country was such
that he gave up large estates in the
colonies rather than join the revolu-
tionists. He was connected. both by
blood and by marriage, with the Win
throp family. Under his rule the is
lands full allegiance 10 England was
restored.
Browne was succeeded by Henry
Hamilton. during whose administration
the town of Hamilton was founded and
named for him. This town today is
the seat of the island government. Ii
has population of less than 3.OOO.
Ii did not become the capital Of the
islands until the time of Sir James
Cockburn. lord chief justice Of Eng
land. and before that time one of its
most famous lawyers. Cockburn. near
ly three quarters OF century ago.
made the plea OF insanity. which saved
the life Of Daniel McNaughten, who
shot Sir Robert Peel's secretary.

AZORES: MAY BE AERIAL
HALFWAY HOUSE

The Azores islands, in years to
come. may be an established md-At-
lantic rest station for airplane flights
across the ocean.
Farthest from continent of any
Atlantic island group. the islands lie
$50 miles west of Cape da Roca. Portu-
gal, and more than thousand miles
southeast of Newfoundland. nearest
North American land.
Volcanic eruptions and earthquakes,
while the former were active, made
the Azores objects of scientific inter-
est akin to that evinced I'm the now
famous Mount Katmai region I'm Alas
ka. SuboceanIc eruptions, sometimes
piling up islands which soon disappear
ed. were characteristic phenomena.
One early description Of such an event
tells how the earth and waters were
rocked for eight days by earthquakes.
followed by vast caldron of fire that
seemed TO sweep the seas surface and
consume the clouds. spewing enormous
masses of earth and rock. Then there
appeared a group of rocks, ever grow
ing higher and wider until an area OF
several square miles was contained In
this mo mans land" Later Ii was
shattered. and subsidized, as the result
Of more earthquakes.
The Azores comprise three groups
of islands. Their total area is less
than that of Rhode Island; their popu-
lation about equal to that of Kansas
City. Mo. Most of the inhabitants are
Portuguese. The rest are Flemish and
Moorish. with a few immigrants from
the United Kingdom.
Fruits and fish constitute the prin-
cipal exports. Oranges are supplant-
ing pineapples. but the other products
lemon, citron. Japanese medlar, and
bananas-maintain their popularity.
The principal fish are the mullet, tun-
ny, and bonito.
Saint Michaels, largest island Of the
group. has lava beds. caves which may
be traversed for miles, and a man.
moth crater with two jeweled lakes
one azure, the other emerald-at its
bottom.
On Santa Maria is the church where
Columbus knelt. Off Terceria q SUBJ
marine volcano made its appearance
as recently as half century ago. On
Corvo have been unearthed coins
which suggest Carthaginian visits. and
an Arabian geographer of the twelfth
century described islands of the "West-
ern Ocean" thought TO have been the
Azores.
About the middle of the fifteenth
century the Portuguese sent expedi-
lions to settle upon them. One island.
Fayal. was presented by AlphonsO V
of Portugal. to his aunt, Isabella.
duchess of Burgundy. 1t was upon
her marriage to Philip the Good. duke
of Burgundy. that he founded the ia
nous knightly order of the Golden
Fleece.
In 1929 supporters of Maria da
Gloria against Miguel. in the struggle
for the Portuguese crown, established
themselves on the islands. and for the
three years following Queen Maria
lived at Angra. one Of the seaports of
importance. Others are Ponta Delgada
and Horta.

PALESTINE: PICMY LAND
WITH A GIANT HISTORY

The historic Holy Land where moved
the Nazarene whose birth will be COM
memorated around the world this
week. is characterized as "a tiny lit
tie country" by Viscount- James Bryce,
In a communication TO the National
Geography society:
Though the travellers hand books
prepare him TO find Palestine small,
II surprises him by being smaller than
he expected. Taking ii as the region
between the Mediterranean on the
west and the Jordan and Dead sea on
the east, from the spurs of Lebanon
and Hermon on the north to the desert
at Beersheba on the south, 1t Is only
ITO miles long and 90 10 GO broad-that
is to say. 1t is smaller than New
Jersey.
"Of this region large parts did not
really belong to ancient Israel. Their
hold on the southern and northern dis
tricts was but slight, while I'm the
southwest. wide and rich plain along
the Mediterranean was occupied by
the warlike PhilIstines, who were
sometimes more than q match for the
Hebrew armies. Israel had, I'm fact,
little more than the hill country, which
lay between the Jordan on the east
and the maritime plain on the west.
looked down from the hill cities OF
Benjamin. just north of Jerusalem, up
on Philistine enemies, only % miles
off, on the one side. and looked across
the Jordan TO Moabite enemies, about
as far off, on the other
NEARLY all the events In the history
Of Israel that are recorded In the Old
Testament happened within territory
no bigger than the state of Connect
cut, whose area Is 4,S00 square miles ;
and into hardly any other country has
there been crowded from the days of
Abraham till our own, SO much history
that Is TO say, so many events that
have been recorded and deserve to be
recorded In the annals of mankind.
Nor Is IL only that Palestine Is
really small country. The traveller
constantly feels as he moves about
that IL Is small country. From the
heights, few miles north of Jeru-
salem, he sees, looking northward, a
far-off summit carrying snow for eight
months I'm the year. IL Is Hermon,
nearly 10000 feet high-Hermon,
whose fountains feed the rivers Of
Damascus.
"But Hermon Is outside the terri
tory of Israel altogether. standing in
the land of the Syrians; so. too, Ii is
of Lebanon. We are apt TO think Of
that mountain mass as within the
country. because IL also Is frequently
mentioned i'm the Psalms and the
Prophets; but the two ranges Of Leb-
anon also rise beyond the frontiers
OF Israel, lying between the Syrians of
Damascus and the Phoenicians of the
West.
perhaps 1t is because the maps
from which children used to learn
Bible geography, were on large scale,
that most OF us have failed to realize
how narrow were the limits within,
which took place. all those great do
ings that fill the books of Samuel and
Kings. Just in the same way the
classical scholar who visits Greece is
surprised TO find that so small n ter
ritOry sufficed for so many striking in
cidents and for the careers of SO
many famous men,"
