SAILOR SAW AMERICA FIRST7
Common Seaman Said TO Have Been
Cheated Out Of His Reward by
Christopher Columbus.

The Spanish royal couple (Ferdi-
nand and Isabella) promised a prize
of 10000 maravedis to the first man Of
the Columbus fleet who saw land. AS
we know, the dice favored a common
sailor, Rodrigo de Triana, who, at 2 a.
m. on October II, while standing on
watch, shouted:
''Tierra TERRA !"
He should have received the prize.
But when they got back to Spain Co
lumbus insisted that he had seen a
light on the coast the previous eve
ming. He protested this so vehemently
to the royal couple that it was nee
essary to pay him the money. Poor
Triana, bereft Of his prize, abandoned
his native land and emlgrated to
Africa.
1t was quite In harmony with the
scheme OF things that the gringo (Co-
lumbus) should get the better Of the
Andalusian. We know nothing Of
what happened to Triana afterward.
but have every reason to suppose
that he did better than the discov-
erers and conquistadOrs who followed
him to the new world. Most Of them
died miserably, fighting themselves or
fighting Indians.
Don Christobal, therefore, probably
did Triana a great service. Doubtless,
the honest mariner ended his life
p%eaceably In his harem. From the re-
ligious point Of view, the first result
of the discovery was to reinforce not
Christianity. but Mohammedanism,
since Triana no longer cared to live
among Christians. who robbed him
both Of his glory and his ~maravedls.
Considered from the point Of view
of civilization, the first result of the
discovery was not to increase the num-
Der of civilized men, but to add one
civilized individual to the number Of
semi-civilized Madrid El Sol.

nov awaiting the consideration of e.
yet unbound Solomon.
What action is proper. Captain Pol
lock wants to know. when the navy
regulations order q specified salute to
an official of a foreign government,
and hat official urgently requests that
1t be withheld?
Entering the harbor of Tonga, a
native insular kingdom 800 miles
southwest of Samoa, Captain Pollock
found resident there a British consul
who at the same time was deputy com
missioner of the British colonial office.
AS a consul he rated" seven guns, as
a colonial agent II guns. Captain Pol
lock Indicated that he was willing to
shoot the maximum In the interests Of
binatfonal comfy. but was Informed
~courteously. vet firmly. that the British
government had the question of which
salute was proper under consideration,
and the resident would be pleased If
the matter could be held In allegiance
until a decision was reached.
No salute was fired, but Captain
Pollock made a report indicating that
the problem was a new one even to an
officer OF his long experience.
