Find Magellan Hat Lost
in Philippines in 1921

New York.-The biographers Of
Ferdinand Magellan have not thought
it worth while to tell the world how
he lost his brass helmet
II was on April u, 1921, almost 1902
years ago, that this great navigator,
having written to the folks back home
that he had just finished discovering
the Pacific ocean, allied himself with
Zula, the treacherous king Of Cebu, in
the Philippine Islands. Zula coveted
the nelghboring island OF Mactan and
as Magellan was all dressed up for
fighting, being possessed of armor and
a brass helmet, zula sent him to do
the rough work,
The king of Mactan objected, and Il
no-rules fight ensued. Ferdinand was
doing wei until someone got inside
his guard and did him in. In falling
he lost his brass helmet. Inasmuch
as he died right there and had no
further need of the helmet, the ma
tives kept 1t as souvenir.
Now comes the news that the he'll
met has been found in the Philippines
by Mai H. D. Seton.
