He had been {1l for several weeks and, although his sickness was regarded as serfous, it was hardly thought that It would prove so suddenly fatal. Mr. Law- lor had a severe attack of heart fallure at his office in the Crocker building about a month ago from which he never ral- lied. His son, J. W.

She is at present in London, where she has been for some time, completing her musical education. Mr. Lawlor came to San Francisco in 1858 from Albany, N.

Mr. Law- lor was a personal friend of the late Colo- nel Fred Crocker, and up to the date of his death was actively engaged on work connected with the immense interests of the Crocker estate.

EEL ST From dispatches received at the Mer- Seattle, it Is learned that disaster has sels of the large fleet in the hurry to make an early arrival at the rich beach. The report is to the ef- fect that a great number of schooners are sull in port at Dutch Harbor awaiting a favorable opportunity to proceed, though the names of these vessels are not given. It is said that the Santa Ana, a_new steamer owned by A. W. Beadle & Co. of this city, and which departed from Se- attle for the gold fields in the early rush, caught rire and that considerable damage was done to the vessel, her cargo and the baggage of the passengers. Another report is at hand that the barkentine Catherine Sudden has been se- riously damaged in the ice pack. The rev enue cutter Bear, the report says, is lend ing the Sudden a helping hand and trying to get her out of her serious position. The San Francisco on board and the Bear will look out for them if further trouble makes it_necessary. There was a great fleet of vessels in port at Unalaska when the Pacific Coast the first vessel from Nome, arrived at Dutch Harbor. The Bowhead, Geronne, Victoria, Olympia, Farallon, Falcon, Cor- win, Charles Nelson, Grace Dollar, San Blas and George W. Elder got under way on June 8 and set out for Nome.

In order to understand the contribution made by Jacques Cartier to our knowl- edge of this continent it Is necessary to bear in mind what had already been dis- | covered when he began his work under a commission from Francis I of France, in | 1634. Columbus had, under the auspices of Ferdinand and Isabella of Spain, made his first voyage in 1492, and three others before his death, in 1506. He had landed on one of the Bahama Islands, discovered Cuba, Jamalca and Haitl, and sailed for some distance up the Orinoco. John and Sebastian Cabot, commissioned by Henry VII of England in 1497, had reached the continent in the vicinity of the Gulf of St. Lawrence. Cortereol. a Portuguese, had in 1500 discovered Hudson Strait, giving rise to the hope that the passage to India and China, of which they were all search, had been found. In 1513 Balboa, a Spanish adventurer, had crossed the isthmus of Panama and called the ocean he discovered “South Sea.” In the same year another Spaniard, Ponce de Leon, had skirted the coast of Florida from St. Augustine to Tampa Bay. In 1519 Magellan, a Portuguese in the service of Spain, had passed through the strait which still bears his name, crossed the Pacific Ocean and_established Spanish | sovereignty over the Philippine Islands | where it remained unbroken until 1858. Between 1519 and 1521 Cortez had acquired Mexico as a Spanish possession. In 153 Verrazano, an Italian in the service 4 France, had voyaged along the Atlantic coast from Carolina to Nova Scotia. Jacques Cartier. How much of all this was known to Jacques Cartler cannot now be deter- mined, but it seems quite probable that he had acquired a fairly correct idea the extent and general character of the Atlantic coast.

To this class Jacques Cartier be- longed, and he must have been acquainted with their ngmg:lcal ideas, acquired either by actual observation or from the descriptions given to them by natives with whom they came In contact. It is alto- gether likely that he had made one or more voyages to the trans-Atlantic fishing grounds himself, as he had a high reputa- and was for this very reason selected to command the exploring expeditions. The peninsula of Brittany is the extreme west oint of France. south of the English annel. Near its inner end and on its north shore is the seaport of St. Malo, made famous as the starting point of Cartler's voyages, between 1534 and 1542. Cartier’s Voyages. In April 1534, Jacques Cartler sailed from St. Malo with instructions,to find the passage to “Cathav.” Voyaging in the direction long famillar to Breton %sh- Belle Isle on the north shore of Newfoundland, the only notable incident of the trip so far being a meet- ing in one of the harbors of Labrador with a fishing vessel from La Rochelle. Cartier passed southward along the west coast of Newfoundland, crossed the Guif of St. Lawrence to the east coast of New Brunswick, visited the bay of Chaleur and the peninsula of Gaspe, and after skirting part of Anticoste Island returned to France without being aware appar- ently of the existence of the great river across the mouth of which he had sailed.
