"HRISTOPHER COLUMBUS has
probably been great lesson and
!. comfort to lots Of people. but no.
/body ever got more out Of his
Story than Ben Worth.
Ben was eight years old and lived
on the bank of great River. one Of
the greatest rivers in the World. It.
was the mighty Hudson River. Across
from Ben's home were the PALISADES
and between was the River.
One day in the autumn after . long
dry spell. Ben rose and ran down to
the river. and what did he see but an
island! Some would have called 1t

posed to view. but to Ben 1t was a
magical. mysterious island. reckoning
and calling him to come and explore.
The awful part OF It all was that
while Ben did live on the bank Of
the great River and saw hundreds Of
boats and ships and ferries, and
steamers every day pass to and fro.
he did not own so much as the small
est kind of boat. He knew 1t would
do no good to ask for a boat. To
begin with. they would say he was too
young for one: then there was no
money to spare for such things.
The island was not very far from
the shore. but to the boy on the bank,
It seemed miles and miles away.
Nobody has ever been on IT,
thought Ben. II know 1t because It's
a new island. just fresh from the
water" n.
Jean, his sister, who was ten and
very wise, came down to the bank
and stood beside Ben and saw the
island.
/. "If only had a boat. jean" said
Ben. IT would row over there and ex-
plore, and then I'd plant pole with
the American flag on it. That's what
all explorers do when they find new
island. Columbus put up Spanish
flag. don't you remember"
Eyes but you don't own boat, and
If you did you couldn't row it because
you don't know how" said Jean. who
was very wise.
Ben was quiet long time. think
ing. Then he said:
'If you were like Queen Isabella
you wouldn't talk that way. You'd
sell your Jewels and buy me boat.
Jean laughed at the idea.
"Sllly!" she exclaimed. That island
isn't important"

This. however, has been possible
so far with small sets, requiring lit
tie power for reception Of messages
at a few hundred miles. But It was
not a year ago when this advance
