H61& (Copyright, 1938, by The Bn 8yjdlcate, be.) S MATTER' POr PAYNE Strange as It seems, the paths of two great explorers In 1609 crossed within 100 miles of each other In upper New York state yet nelthor man knew the other existed. Samuel de Champlatn, a French navigator and oolonlzer, in 1608 bad completed the founding of the Im portant Xur-tradlng post at Quebec. The following summer he accompan ied an Algonquin and Huron expo dltlon against the Irlquols on the shores of Lake Champlaln, which he discovered. There, with a single shot from his heavily-loaded Arquebus, Cham plaln killed three Mohawk chiefs near Crown Point, a mistake that prevented the French from com pleting their colonization conquest of America and eventually cost them their northern dominion. About the same time an EnglUh navigator was sailing his ship, the Half Moon, up the Hudson river to Albany. Henry Hudson and his half Dutch, half English crew of 20 were searching for a through route to China. Originally they had sailed north ward seeking the famous Northwest Passage, but solid pack Ice and open mutiny of his crew caused Hudaon to seek a passage father south by skirting Virginia. Passing the narrows of upper Ner7 York bay. which had dissuaded Ver razano from entering tne Hudson river In 1924, Hudson In seven day Balled up the river which now bears his name, aided by the string flood tide which can be felt 150 miles from the ocean. At Albany Hudson encountered the "Mahlkan" Indians, establishing peaceful relations and thereby facili tating later Dutch development along the Hudson and Mohawk rivers.
