AS Columbus Day draws near, we
may think Of that October morning
in 1892 when Christopher Columbus
landed on an island southeast Of
Florida. He raised the royal ban
ner, and claimed the land in the
name of Spain.
Columbus named the island San
Salvador. 1t was one of the Bahama
group. Scholars have lost track of
which one 1t was, out most likely 1t
was what we now call Watling's Is
land.
A record which Is supposed to
have been made by Columbus him.
self tells about his first day in the
New World. Here is a translation:
II saw that the natives were very
friendly to us, and that they could
be converted to our holy faith by
gentle means better than by force.
So gave them red caps and strings
of beads to wear upon the neck, and
they were much delighted.
"Afterward they came swimming
to the boats, bringing parrots, balls
Of cotton and many other things. In
Exchange we gave them glass beads
and hawks bells. This trade was
carried on with the utmost good
will.
"All whom I saw were young. not
over 80 years of age, well made, with
fine shapes and faces. Their hair
is short and coarse. and is combed
toward the forehead except a small
portion which they let hang down
behind.
Some paint themselves with
black, others with white, and still
others with red Some paint the
face, and some the whole body.
Il showed them swords which they
grasped by the blades. They cut
themselves because they did not
know better. They have no iron,
their spears being made without it.
The spears are nothing more than
sticks, but some of them have fish
bones, or other sharp things, at the
lends.
1T appears to me that the natives
are quick-witted and would be good
servants. I believe they would very
quickly become Christians. I in
ftend to carry home six of them to
your Highnesses. saw no beasts in
the island, nor any sort of animals
except parrots"

Those who use conventional four
no-trump bids should remember the
first commandment Of slam tries:
Don't get beyond the game level
unless you are absolutely sure you
can make at least five.
North's raise over the double was
a shut-out bid, and showed distri-
butional support but little in high
cards. No one can blame South for
being tempted, but he should have
passed with regret. When he made
his Blackwood four no-trump bid
he was guaranteeing a contract of
at least five spades and, after Norths
no-ace response, he could not
make 1t.
West led the heart ace, then the
diamond queen. South won and led
q club, but West put up his ace and
still had the guarded spade king for
the setting trick.
