Historic Thanksgiving.
There was rejoicing In the city that
day. The famlshed pOpulace, with the
crew of the conquering fleet, repaired
mt once to the cathedral of st. Peters
and there went up such prayers
of thankfulness as only a miracu-
lousy delivered city could render. In
the midst of singing the great battle
hymn, voice after voice broke down
till the whole congregation wept in
the intensity of its emotion.
From that day to this Thanksgiving
has been celebrated in Leyden on
October 3. and the browning dish of
the feast is the hodge-podge. eaten In
memory of the great relief.
But this is not all. More than 30
years later, when the Netherlands was

ing the hospitality Of the Dutch and
joining with them in their feasts and
holiday customs. Many time did
they eat hodge-podge on October 8.
When at last, in 1920. they left the
kindly city and sailed for their desti-
nation in the New world. they doubt
less took with them the memory of
Ieydens thanksgiving. In the sue
ceeding years they found that they
had their own causes for thankful
ness, and in celebrating this New
world festival they deemed it expe-
dent to substitute roast turkey and
pumpkin pie in place of the historic
hodge podge of Leyden.

messages to William of Orange that
it could hold out no longer.
1t was on the night of October 2
that a strange thing happened. A
great storm had come up from the
northwest, blowing in huge wall of
water from the German ocean. The
fleet of Admiral Boisot had advanced
to the last great barrier held by the
Spaniards. Fort Lammen. and was
awaiting last sharp encounter in the
morning. The Spaniards, thus hemmed
in between the city, the sea and the
oncoming fleet, began to think them
selves in danger.
Suddenly, during the night, there
was hideous crash-a sound so ter
rifying that the poor citizens of Ley
den thought that now at last the Span
iards had broken in and would butch
er them all The Spanish, on their
part, were sure the Leydenese had
broken out and were making a last
desperate sortie. Flight, they were
convinced, was the only hope of
safety.
So it came to pass that in the
storm and darkness. over the only re-
naming causeway leading to The
Hague. the Spanish army silently took
its ignominious departure.
City Really 0efenseIess.
The curious thing about it all was
that this horrible sound which had
alarmed both contending parties equal
ly was caused by the falling in of a
part of the city wall for the space
of nearly a quarter of a mile. Not
to this day is it definitely known just
why it happened. Probably it had
been undermined by the incoming wa

iards only known 1t, they could have
entered the defenseless city without
opposition.
Singularly enough, the only soul in
or about the city of Leyden who hap
pened to witness the flight of the
Spaniards that night was little boy,
Gysbert Cornellisen by name. He saw
the long procession of lights fitting
over the causeway, guessed at the re-
treat of the Spanish, and when all
was silent and dark again, made his
way to the headquarters of General
Valdez. Here he found all deserted,
but in such hurry had they been

There is singular and most inter-

erful Spain and her little dominion of

right of self-government The odds
were terribly heavy against those
tiny low countries. but they had the
advantage of an indomitable courage
and a remarkable leader, William the
Silent, of Orange-Nassau.

their favor during the long struggle
