fT'S a strange story.
It began with the Voyage
of Columbus in 1492. On that
historic voyage, Columubs
discovered America. He didnt
know he had discovered a new
continent. He thought, when
he made a landfall on the
island that he named San Sal
vador, that he had landed on
an island of the Indies, near
Japan or China.
Hence the name INDIANS.
He thought the gentle natives
of the Caribbean islet were
residents of the rich INDIES.
He thought he had found a
new, quick, cheap sea route
to these fabulous lands with
which EuroDe lone had traded
by costly and dangerous land ;
routes.

HE THOUGHT he had it
made.
So did everybody else.
When, after a couple of
decades, it developed that all
he had found was a NEW
WORLD it was a terrible dis
apointment. He died in disgrace. The
new world he had discovered
wasn't even named Columbia.
They dug up another alleged
discoverer, Amerigo Vespucci
and named it America.

WITH acceptance of the bit
ter fact that a new con
tinent lay between the shores
of Europe and the shores of
the Indies, there began a
search that was to last for
more than three centuries
the search for the Northwest
Passage. In 1497, only five
years after Columbus' first
voyage, John and Sebastian
Cabot set out from England
to find it. They sailed along
the west coast of Greenland
as far at Baffin Land (see
your map) and then gave up.
Jacques Cartier sailed from
France in 1534 and thought he
had it when he sailed up the
Saint Lawrence river. In 1609,
Henry Hudson thought he had
found it when he sailed into
what is now New York harbor
and on up the Hudson river.
When Sir Francis Drake
came up our Pacific Coast in
the middle 1500's, he cherish
ed hopes that he might stum
ble onto it. In the fabled tales
of the River of the West that
preceded its actual discovery,
the Columbia river was re
garded as maybe the entrance
to the Northwest Passage. So
were the Strait of San Juan
de Fuca and Puget Sound.
The Northwest Passage was
a dream that men just couldn't
seem to give up.

IT HAS BEEN FOUND
It has been found by means
of a contraption known as a
submarine which was en
visioned by Jules Verne, tink
ered with experimentally by
the Confederate navy during
the War between the States
and finally brought to a rea
sonable state of perfection by
a naval desiener named John
P. Holland, whose first sub
was launched in 1900.
The under-the-ice trip of the
submarine Nautilus through
the Northwest Passage was
made nossible by an even
more fabulous development
ATOMIC POWER.
AND
Now that the fabled North
west Passage has finally been
navieated
It is OUT OF DATE com
mercially. Its only value is a
means of transferring military
submarine fleets from the At
lantic to the Pacific, and vice
versa.
