HE fever of world conquest
wae on France when ad.
venturous Jacques Cartier
reached manhood at the
turn of the 16th century. It was
quite natural, therefore, that he
should turn explorer. By the
t'me he was 40, he had acquired
the reputation of a bold navigator.-,
.
Accordingly, In 1534, Cartier
was selected by Admiral Chabot
to lead' an expedition to the
northeastern coast of North
America In an effort to discover
a passage to Cathay. With two
ships, the explorer sailed from
his home city of Saint-Malo. A
few weeks later and the weary
little party sighted the shores of
Newfoundland, near Cape Bona
vista. From here they followed
the coast southward.
' Skirting the shores of Labra
dor, Cartier at length landed at
Cape Caspe, erected a cross and
took possession of the country
In the name of France. The
next year, with a newly equipped
licet, he sailed up the St. Law
rente, i At the Indian village of
Stadacona, on the site of the
modern Quebec, Cartier and his
men left their ships and pushed
on Into the wilderness to Hoch
elaga, an Indian village at the
foot of a great hill. This Cartier
named Mount Royal (Montreal).
It was then October and the
party returned to their ships,
spending a miserable winter
aboard them. In the spring they
returned to France, having won
a foothold in the new world.
Cartier is pictured on a 1934
French commemorative.
