Now a faint smile on the swarthy
Indian features of Don Luis betrayed
his intense interest as the Spanish
pilot directed ahead the gaze of the
little group of passengers gathered on
the poop. They could at last see a
break in the ribbon of white sand and
a wide stretch of water between two
tree-covered capes.
Two Jesuit fathers stood nearest the
pilot, straining their eyes landward
The Bay of Santa Maria, perhaps, -
quietly remarked Father Juan Bap-
tisre Segura of Toledo, Spain, repre-
sentative in the province of Florida of
Pope Plus V and of Francis Borgia
general of the Society of Jesus. .
Can it be true? Santa Maria of
Axacan at last" exclaimed his. com
panion, Father Luis de Quiros, also of
the Jesuit order.
Both turned toward the pilot.
'Yonder is AXacan,'' observed that
individual. betrayihg ever so slightly
by his tone and the expression of his
countenance the feeling of superiority
TO hold for the landsman, even though
the landsman be priest.
And" added the pilot, III God
sends us friendly winds we will az
rive at our journeys end in few
short days"
Several Jesuit brothers gathered
around Fathers Segura and Quiros,
and all eagerly piled the pilot with
questions about the great bay they
were entering and the mysterious land
of AXacan along it's shores.
August was far spent. Since the
9Th day of the month the caravel had
been slowly making her way, in the
face of bad weather, from the Spanish
settlement of st. Elena, in the prov
ince of Florida. located on the isla
where today is the town of Port Royal,
S. c.
TT was the year 1870, IS years after
Columbus had discovered the New.
World Ten or eleven years before
the events related in this story the
pilot of this caravel had been on
another Spanish vessel from the West
Indies, which had been exploring the
coast of F'lorida-for the Spanish
called this whole region of North
America by that name--in the hope of
finding a, passage for ships westward
TO the Pacific Ocean.
That expedition came at length as
far north as the 18th degree of lati-
tude, where it discovered this great
BAY with a deep, wide entrance, as
if inviting all the navies of the world
to take refuge on it's magnificent
bosom, stretching some two hundred
miles to the north behind the shelter
Of a great, fertile, tOrest-clad PENN
sula They named it the Bay of
Santa Maria, and the smiling land on
it's east and west shores they called
Axacan. They found magnificent
rivers entering the bay from the west
every few miles, and one of the
greatest of these, whose mouth they
indicated on very early map, they
named the Espiritu Santo.
A glance at a modern map estab-
fishes beyond doubt that the bay.
whose entrance was 81 degrees north
of the Equator, is none other than the
chesapeake Bay of our day, and it
suggests strongly that the ESpiritu
Santo was the Potomac River. AS for
AXaCan, it was the land later called
Virginia by the English and compris-
ing today Virginia, Maryland and; at
it's northwestern limit, the District of
Columbia. How much of this wide
region, embraced by the general name
of AXacan, the Spanish navigators

My home-and my people" replied
the tall savage, with visible pride.
The boy. noticed the swelling of the
naked chest as Don Luis sucked in
the breeze that Smelled of the land,
and allowed his eyes to rest with
far-away look upon the line of trees
whose tops were scarcely to be seen
above the watery, shimmering horizon.
Then, in response to the eager ques-
tiQning of the boy. as the two leaned
over the ships side and watched the
blue-Green water rush by and the land
rise higher above the water, Don Luis
told him again. in the broken Span
ish he had learned, the story of his
departure from the land of his, birth
with those first Spaniards who en-
tered the bay a decade before.
.-s --, * y * <
NON .JUIS-whose name. of course,
was not Don Luis then-had
lived in his native village on the bank
of great river which had its source
in the mountains many days journey
to the West-no one knew how far.
His brother was a great chief. and the
people who spoke LIS language, al
though divided into many different
tribes and villages, extended their
sway all along the western shore of
Potomac and up that river to the
head of tidewater, and even over part
of the eastern shore of the bay and
on the peninsula between the Poto-
mac River and the bay. These tribes
were sometimes at war among them
selves. but they all had a common
enemy in the tribes of the North and
West beyond the tidal waters.
One day the men, women and chill

into panic by the approach of a
great canoe with white wings, which
had come, they knew not whence, to
their inland sea and up their peaceful
river. Some thought the great canoe
with wings had come down from the
sky; others that it had issued from
the deep. They were more. startled
when the strange vessel anchored be-
fore their village and white men.
some with black boards and all
dressed in shining metal and bright
colors, came ashore in smaller canoes
that issued from the sides of the great
ship.
Don Luis was vague on the subject
of what happened during the visit of
the Spaniards to his village. There
may have been a controversy over
corn. Once the great canoe belched
forth thunder and lightning from it's
frightened and submissive, while 9th
ers ran into the deep woods and hid
themselves. But when the Spanish
vessel sailed away Don Luis was a
passenger, whether willingly or as a
captive was left doubtful in Alfonso's
mind.
Since this is a true story in every
important detail and based on Spanish
records, with only the conversations
and non essential circumstances i'm
agined as they might well have hap
pened. in order to fill the gaps of his
tory, it is proper to explain here that
no record has yet been found to
identify surely the river upon which
Don Luis lived. But from what hap
pened later, it has been shrewdly con-
jectured by some students that he be-
longed to one of those related tribes

TRUCKING EXPENSES
RAISE COST OF FOOD

Washington.-A study of food dis
tribution costs in New York city by
the department of agriculture disclose
that it costs more to truck a sack of
potatoes in that city than to haul it
by freight LOO miles from Michigan.
A spread of Az per cent between
the wholesale and retail prices of
fruits and vegetables was found by
experts, who attributed the heavy
cost of distribution in that city to
trucking, railroad Switching and float
ing charges, loading and unloading,
credit and delivery service.
The same percentage of spread was
reported for a small purchase as for
large one, and it was estimated that
if consumers paid cash and carried
their packages home IA per cent of
the cost would be saved.
