(Manchester Guardian.) Two hundred years ago there was born in a village of North Yorkshire a boy whose career (made him one of the classical heroes for all later |British boyhood as well as one of the greatest ornaments of the Royal Navy. It was not by battles that he gained either of those distinc- tions, though that might easily have been the |auickest way to both; James Cook's gifts of courage and character were applied to the en- largement of knowledge. The son of a farm {laborer who had risen to be farm bailiff, he left |the haberdasher's shop to which he had been ap- |prenticed in order to go to ses, and from the {merchant service he moved as a young man to {the navy. His educational advantages were ob- |viously slight, but it may be said that his career |added to a century of great literary distinction |one work of practical authorship which can never again be overlooked—the map of the Pacific. |Other eighteenth century authors may languish {on library shelves, but results from Captain Cook’s explorations must be referred to daily as long as there are mariners left to sail the se; He found real land and charted it, and he dis- pesed of legends of land; the southern seas and {their islands took recognizable shape for the first |time as the result of his voyagings. But he was {more than an explorer; he was a practical physi- |clan, and the first man to rid the sailing vessels {of scurvy On his first voyage to the south seas |he lost by disease thirty men out of a crew of eighty-five. It was a heavy toll, hut far from unusual; other explorers had lost more, without regarding the risk as anything but inseparable from a seafaring life. But Cook had noticed and reflected and planned to such effect that on {his second voyage of three years' cruising he {lost only one man out of 118. He was an ob- T of men as well as coastlines, and it was ire for his subordinates which gained him affection as well as the respect of all who iled under him. The brutal circumstances of his death in Hawail in 1779 make a grim and inappropriate close to a career that was dis- tinguished much for its humane observations as for its tremendous decisicn and energy.
