COLUMBUS
A. d. 1892

Columbus was blue-eyed, red-haired
and tall, of a sunny honesty, humane
and panic-prOof. In other words he
came of the Baltic and not of the Med
! iterranean stock, although his people
lived In Italy and he was born in the
suburbs of Genoa. By caste he was a
peasant, and by trade, up to the age
or tWenty-eight, a weaver, except at
times when his Northern blood broke
J loose and drove him to sea for a vOy-
| age. He made himself a scholar and
a craftsman, and when at last he es-
capped from an exacting family, he
earned his living by copying charts at
Lisbon. A year later, as a navigating
officer, he found his way, via the wine
trade, to Bristol There he slouched
dreaming about the slums, dressed like
a foreign monk. He must needs pose
to himself in some ideal character,
and was bound to dress the part. The
artistic temperament is the handspring
| Of adventure.
In our own day we may compare
Boston, that grand old home of the
dying sailing ship, with New York, d
| busting metropolis for the steam
liners. In the days of Columbus Genoa
was an old-fashioned, declining, but
still splendid harbOr of the cared gal
leys, while Lisbon was the up-to-date
metropolis of the new square-rigged
sailing ships.
From these two greatest seaports
of his age, Columbus went to Bristol,
the harbor of England, in the Mid
die ages, of the slow, scholarly, arts
tic, stately English. They were build
ing that prayer in stone, Saint Mary
Radcliffe, jewel Of intricate red
masonry, the setting for Portuguese
stained glass which glowed like pre-
ciOus gems.
I'm the month of February" says
Columbus, land in the year 1477, l
navigated as far as the Island of Tile
(Thule is Iceland) a hundred leagues,
and to this island which is as large
as England, the English, especially
those of Bristol, go with merchandise.
And at the time that 1 was there the
sea was not frozen over, although there
were very high tides"
Here, then, is the record of Column
bus himself that in his long inquiry
concerning the regions beyond the At
lantic, he actually visited Iceland. A
scholar himself, he was able to con-
verse with the learned Icelanders in

Latin, the trade jargon of that age.
From them he surely must have known
how one hundred thirty years ago the
last timber ship had come home from
Nova Scotia, and Twenty-Five years
since, within his own lifetime, the
Greenland trade had closed. The maps
Of the period showed the American
coast as far south as the Carolines-
the current geography book was equal
ly clear:
From Blanchard (Siberia) the coun-
try stretches as far as the desert re-
begins. From Greenland lies souther-
ly Helluland Labrador and Newfound-
land), then MARYLAND (Nova Scotia) !;
thence it is not far from Vinland (New
England), which some believe goes out
from Africa. England and Scotland
are one island, yet each country is a
kingdom by itself. Ireland is large
island, Iceland is also a large island
north Of Ireland" Indeed Columbus
seems almost to be quoting this from
memory when he says of Iceland, "this
island, which Is as large as England"
/ strongly suspect that Columbus when
in Iceland, took solemn oath not to
discover" America
The writer's of books have spent
four centuries in embarrassing, re-
touching, dressing up and posing this
figure of Columbus. The navigator
was indeed man Of powerful intel
lect and of noble character, but they
have made him seem a monumental
prig as we'll as an insufferable bore.
He is the dead and helpless victim,
dehumanized by literary art until we
feel that we really ought to pray for
him on All Prig's Day in the churches.
Columbus came home from his Ice
landic and Guinea expeditions with
two perfectly sound ideas. "The world
is a globe, so if sail westerly l shall
find Japan and the Indies" For fif-

teen bitter years he became the laugh
| ing-stock of Europe.
Now note how the historians, the
biCgraphers and the commentators, the
ponderous and the mawkish, the SNUG
and the pedantic alike all fail to see
why their hero was laughed at. His
name was CriStO-fero Colombo, to us
a good enough label for tying to any
man, but to the Italians and all edu-
Gated persons a that age. a joke. The
words mean literally the Christian
rying Dove. Suppose a modern man
with some invention or a great idea,
called himself Mr.. Christ Carrying
Dove, and tried to get capitalists in
New York or London to finance his en-
terprise! In the end he changed his
name to Cristoval Colon and got him
self financed, but by that time his
hair was white, and his nerve was
gone, and his health failing.
In the Ninth century the vikings
sailed from Norway by the great circle
course north Of the gulf stream. They
had no compass or any instruments of
navigation, and they braved the I'M
known currents, the uncharted reefs,
the unspeakable terrors of pack-ice,
berg-streams and fog on Greenland's
awful coast. They made no fuss.
But Columbus sailing in search of
Japan, had one Englishman and one
Irishman, the rest of the people be-
ing Italians. In lovely weather most
of them were ready to run away from
their own shadows.
From here onward throughout the
four voyages which disclosed the West
Indies and the Spanish Main, Column
bus men shirked their duties, dis
Obeyed his orders, mutinied, deserted
and even made war upon him.
Between voyages everybody from
the mean king downward, snubbed,
swindled, plundered and DETAINED him
and all who were loyal to him in mis-
fortune. 1t was not by the design and
could hardly have been by the consent
of honest Columbus that his swindling
pork contractor, AmerigO Vespucci,
was allowed to give his name to the
Americas.
Little enough attention was paid to
the authority of Columbus and his best
efforts were generally thwarted, with
the result that the haplesS red Indians
were outraged, enslaved and driven to
wholesale suicide. For lack of a mas
ter the Spaniards performed such prod
igies of cOwardice and cruelty as the
world has never known before or since,
the native race was swept out of ex-
istence, and Spain set out upon a down
ward path, a moral lapse beyond all
human power to arrest.
Yet looking back, how wonderful is
the prophecy in that name, Christian
rying Dove, borne by sanity and
heroic seaman whose mission, in the
end, added two continents to Christi
anity.

THROUGH LAND OF HORROR
ling Trip That He Is Never Like
ly to Forget.

"Patrolling in Papua" is an admira-
bic account by w. r. HUMPHREYS, an
assistant-resident magistrate, of his adj
venturous journeys in the company of
former cannibals through the swamps
and almost inaccessible mountains of
that extremely inhospitable island,
which is now probably the least known
territory on the face of the earth. The
lieutenant governor of Papua, J. FL. P.
Murray, contributes an introduction, in
which he remarks:
Most of Mr.. HUMPHREYS carriers
says, people not familiar with the ter
ritory might have been afraid to trust
them; but no one has this feeling in
Papua, for the ordinary Papuan muir
der is not a crime as we consider it; it
is sometimes a duty, sometimes a nee
essary part of social etiquette, some
times a relaxation, and always a pas
sion."
AS it was, Mr.. HUMPHREYS had mar
row escape, since in the German part
of New Guinea the natives collected to
attack him, believing him to be Ger
man, when two messengers arrived
just in time to save him and explain
the real facts. Though there is fine
country in the mountains of the in
terror, access to it is difficult, and hOr-
rors have to be encountered on the
way.
zone day it rained for hours, and
hundreds of crawling things, including
ants, leeches and beetles of all kinds,
came into the tent and sought entrance
through my tiny mosquito net. I Won
dered if there were as many insects in
hell"
The leeches in particular were big
and vicious:
Some of them were three inches in
length. They crawled upon us from
the surface of the track, they fell upon
us from the mOss-hung trees, and wait
ed on every fern for an opportunity to
get at our blood. One can only con-
template with horror the fate of a
lonely traveller should he fall uncon-
scious by the way in a locality where
leeches swarm"
1t is immensely to Mr. HUMPHREYS
credit that he made his prolonged and
difficult journeys through the heart OF
Papua without taking single native
life.
