DISCOVERY of HatOaii
Debated by Experts

Was Hawaii discovered nrst by
Spaniards1 That question has inter
egted historians and geographers
Npce the finding Of an ancient Span
iAh coin by workmen digging in an old
Hawaiian garden. The coin was dated
1174 and bore the inscription "Carolus
III Del Gratia."
Capt James Cook. British voyager,
to whom the discovery of Hawaii by
White men is generally attributed,
came to the islands In 177s on his
first trip. There has long been a ira
dition that Spanish voyagers preceded
him. One story was that the Span
tards touched Hawaii while sailing to
the Philippines.
Hawaii has been peopled for more
than 1000 years, according to the best
evidence obtainable. Long ago brown
islanders, Journeying from group to
group In their great canoes, came
here from the south, probably from
Samoa. The finding Of the Spanish
coin is not Of itself enough to upset
the story that Cook was the first
white man to visit the islands and
make his discovery known to the
world, but 1t Is giving the antigua
rians a fresh theme for discussion.
