And yet, it is one of the greule.il wuul export ing poits in the world, located on i.he Strait of .Magellan, and is compara tively well known by the name of Punta Arenas. How the Spaniards founded a settlement in this remote section of the world, how is passed out of existence, how it was levived in the nineteenth century by the .Chil-; J eans, anil now it has thrived, proas- , pered and grown rich since then, is brought out. in an article by ' Edward Allies in the current number ( of the Bulletin of the Pan American Union, Washington, U. 0. J . In tracing the dark and romantic i history of the Strait of Magellan from J the time of its discovery by the fum-' J oils Portuguese navigator, Fernando de Magalhues, in 1520, the writer tells J of the practical adbandonment of the 1 1 route by the Spaniards until 1578, I when the intrepid Sir Francis Drake J sailed through its treacherous chan-l nels and pursued his way on up the coast of the Americas even as far as J California.

An ex pedition was fitted out and under the leadership of the Spanish naviga tor, Pedro Sarmiento, the first colony was established not far from the pre sent site of Punta Arenas. Whnt with 'hostile ilndians, cold, ami starva tion, the little .settlement was soon wiped out of existence, and the shores of the Strait again became uninhabit ed by civilized men, and thus :e niaincd for many years." In I8'i:i the Republic of Chile es tablished a penal colony near che same site which, about S years later was completely burned down by the prisoners, who mutinied and killed the governor guards and manv foroig- 11. : 1 .11 : . .. .
