The ways of genius are inscrutable, so why waste time speculating how Cook learned navigation, mathe- matics and astronomy? Entcred Strange World “After rounding Cape Horn and touching at several small islands, Cook, on April 13, 1769, reached Tahitf, and began his exploration of the archipelago, which he named the Socléty Islands, in honor of the Royal Soclety under. whose asupices he had sailed. “Familiar as we now ave with the idyllic setting of the South Eeas and the many curious customs of the natives, it is hard to realize “Moreover, incidents had occurred pon the firat visit which seemed to discredit the godlike qualities of the visitors. One of the crew died and Cook, unaware that he and his retinue were immortal in native jeyes, buried him ashore. Then there was the matter of the fence about the sacred morai. The sailors were given permission to remove the fence because of their urgent need of wood, but they unwittingly re- moved images as well. Skepticism | had set in after their first depar- ture, “On the night of February 13, 1179, a cutter Was stolen.

One native struck him over the head and, as he fell forward, another stabbed him in the back. “A few bones of Cook's body were returned after the natives had stripped it of-the flesh, and on February 21, according to a brief entry in the ship's journal, ‘At sun- set the Resolution fired ten minute gunh, With the colors half staff up, _ when the remains of our late Com- jmander were committeed to the deep.’ Misslonaries, on ‘later visits when chiefs, to pay him excep- to Hawaii, learned that the breast. tional honor, brought beautiful | bone and ribs long weré preserved maidens to stand before him.disrobe by the islanders as objects of ven- and in this Evelike state, chastely |eration.” to embrace him and as quickly re- | T “r‘e')‘ie{ore leaving Tahiti, t‘onk‘ Miss Edith Westman was tender- planted watermelons, oranges, limes ed a miscellaneous shower Thursday and other seeds—an activity which, evening by her offive associates at in addition to his subsequent gifts ;,ho home of Miss I";‘lnn!e Carlson on of poultry and pigs at other places, ' Prospect street.

No Land for Four Months “His second voyage lasted three years and 16 days. For one period he was at sea for 122 days; at an- other time for 117 days, upon the latter occasion sailing for more than 10,000 miles over strange seas with- eut once sighting land. “Cook was the first Englishman to pierce the Antarctic Circle, dip- ping nearer the South Pole than any other voyager had or was to venture again for fifty years. The Terra Incognita fades away. The Pacific expands to its true propor- tions—some 9,300 miles from the Bering Strait to the frozen waters of the' Antarctic.
