C., March Jlampton Roads, of vital importance n our war operations, but unmen- btioned in that conmection because of voluntary press censorship, again is a center of interest because of the burhing of the Hotel Chamberlain, a few weeks ago. A bulletin of the Na- tional Geographic sociely gives the isiory of this region as follows: ““There is but one entrance by sea into this country, and that i mouth of a very goodly ay,” Captain John Smith wrate in his ‘Map of Vir- ginla, with a Description of the Gountrey,” concerning Chesapeake Pay with its attendant harbor, Hamp- ton Roads, which he describes as sbounded on the south by Florida, on the north by New France, and whose western limits are unknown.’ A few bu ports like New Yoyg and B ight disagree with ihe 1 captain concerning s now offer, no harbor can claim a omantic history not only but in the world Washington, 26— much more in colonial times, war as well Always Used by Navy. “Hampton Roads has been the r dezvous of the American navy eve hce there was on When, during ‘ly part of 1917, newspaper re- ing that the fleet ‘was sgwallowwved up somewhere in the mists of the Atlantic.’ it had secretly slid out of the harbor at Hampton Roads and was resting quietly at Yorktown =2 few mile: » the bay, awaiting orders from W hington. At a moment’s ce these huge battleships could gnal to each other with their -hued flags and steam out to sex Threugh the waters of Hampton Roads thousands of men, tons of sup- plies and carg s glided out their parts “The harbor is a splendid sheet of water 500 feet in width with a mini- mum depth of 30 feet, safe from gales, und large enough to float a great navy. It is formed by the James, | Nansemond and' Elizabeth rivers as they pass into Chesapeake bay. The thriving cities of Norfolk, Newport | News and Portsmouth give it commer- | importance. he first land in thie vicinity that the sea-weary Captain John Smith and his men caught sight of was the east- ern end of a sandy spit of land, which they named Cape Henry. Here they opened the sealed orders of the Lon- | don company and learned that they were to settle much farther inland. But, for a few days, they rested and explored the neighboring waters. They crected a cross on this spot of their first landing, in gratitude for a safe ending of their journey. Later in 1691 a lighthouse was erected on this same spot. It is standing today and bears a tablet commemorating the landing, ' though a larger and much more pre- tentio cture has been built for lighting the shippin “Sailing farther i a point at the entrance to the harbor they called ‘Point Comfort,’ because of the good channel and the safe an- chor: affarded.

When Smith and the colonists landed at Newpaort News looking for a town site, five In- dians met them and invited them to their village ‘Kecoughtan,” Hampton now stands. “From the days of the calonists, during the revolution when Lord Dunsmore, the royal governor of Vir- ginia was driven to the safety of his gunboats, to the fikht of the Merri- | mac and the Monitor in its waters during the civil war and to its active art in the world war, the history of npton Roads has been fraught ith interest.
