THIS IS A MEMORABLE DAY.

Tt was with such material as this that Colum- bn had to do the work on which be bad staked life and fortune end reputation, in three | months the expedition was ready to ea: It wus composed of the Santa Moria, a decked vemel, and two earuvels, or undecked boats, the Pinta and Nina. ‘The Santa Maria was of ninety-foot | keel: it had four masts, of which two were | equare rigged aud two fitt | It wav decked irom stem to stern, having | besides a poop iwenty-rix feet in length, beneath | which was the armament of heavy guns, with small pieces forward, for throwing stones and grape. It was commanded by the admiral in | pervon, and carried a | whom the muster roll mentions one English- man and one Lrishman. . under Martin Pinzon, carried men, and the Nina, under his ‘brother, | vessel was afterward (1499) the first to cross the line in the American Atlantic. Three other | pilots were uttuched to the expedition, to- gether with en inspector general of the ficet, principal algaazil anda royal notary. There | were also a surgeon, a physician, some few ad- | Yenturers and ninety reamen —in’ all, 120 souls who put their lives into the band of the daunt- Jess admiral. The fleet had, beside its ninety sailors, a hysician and a surgeon: it carried provisions | fora year. Columbus, Father Jann Perez and | the Pinzon brothers paid one-eighth of the ex- ition; Isabella, trom the ‘treasury of Castile, advanced 17,000 florins as a first instalment toward the rest, Columbus, | by acontract he carried with him, was to be | admiral over all newly discovercd lands, to have | title of whatever valuables they could get, be arbiter with his governors in subsequent disputes ax to lands. and, on advancing one- | eighth of the expense, he might obtain that pro- portiou of the proceeds of subsequent ventuces.

Before leaving Columbus, with most of his officers and crew, confessed to Juan Perez and There were stirring scenes that Friday morning in the town and | harbor of Palos, for many of the adventurers | tears shed by both men aud women over the final one—with friends and relatives, But such scenes could not be of long duration; the ad- migal had been up at dasbreak inspecting wind afi tide; the former was favoruble and must not be lost: the tide wonld be at the best etate tocarry them out of the Road of Saltez, near Palow, at 8 o'clock and the admiral was as re- Hentlews asthe tide.

Yet the event attracted 80 little notice at “tho time, even among those who from their science and ‘situation would be expected to have their attention most naturally drawn to it, that it is hardly mentioned in any | of the correspondence or other writings of that time.

On September 6 the fleet was at Canary Isles, slight accident to the Pinta being the oaly in- cident of the trip. Hearing of the approach of Portuguese men-of-war, the vessels quickly turned westward, not without many foreboding: of disaster, however, on the part af the crew. ‘There was great alarm on the 13th when it was discovered the magnetic needle pointed away | from the pole. Columbus concocted a story to meet the occasion. On the 16th, in the warm belt of trade winds; on the 18th, in the Sara- gosea, or reas of sea weed; no bottom at 200 fathoma, Next day are sgme incidents, The | greatest was a storm on the 23d, when the crew | could hardly be kept from mutiny on account of their fears. On October 1 Columbus calea- Iated that the fleet was 708 leagues from the Azores, and predicted the ships would discover | land (the East Indies) in forty or fifty leagues. | On the 7th of the month the Nina thought it had | discovered land, but it turned out to be acloud. ‘The next three days the course was west southwest.
