vessel, the Espirito Santo,
tonched at the Falklands for water.
Tier captain told young Palmer that he
was bound for a place where there
were thousands of seals.
The Argentlno sailed away before
the Hersllla came back; but on his
vessel’s return, young Palmer Insisted
that she put after the Espirito Santo,
In hope of finding the strange Island.
This was done, and after many days’
walling, the Yankee brig found not only
the vessel she had followed, but Is

America, the South Shetlands.
In 1821. Nathaniel Palmer, as com
mander of a Rronlngton sl-a>p. the
Hero, sailed again to the South Shet
lands for seel». Finding the seals near
ly exterminated there, he sailed far
ther and farther In search of new seal
ing grounds, slopping only when he
sighted land not laid down on any
chart. There were numerous Islands,
and beyond them a wild coastline and
dim mountains.
One night the Hero lay becalmed In
a thick fog that enveloped her like a

Palmer was aatonlahed when his man
at the helm struck one bell, to hear the
sound repented twice. The same thing
happened at two bells and so on
through the watch. Superstition had
not left the seas In those days, and the
men of the watch deck were alarmed.
At seven hells the fog lifted a little,
and two men-of-war were seen not I
more than a mile away. After the
United States enslgu was run up at
the main peak of the Hero, one of the
warships sent a boat alongside with an

Captain Palmer went Just as he was
dressed—In sea boots and sou’wester.
The scene was one of Impressive con

Into the commander’s luxurious cabin.
The polished, accomplished Russian
commander Insisted on sitting down to
luncheon with the rugged young Yan
kee In sea hoots, a meal that Captain
Palmer found elaborate, after the fa re

The Russian officer had been two
years on a voyage of discovery, He
examined keenly the chart and log-
book of th Hero, and questioned Cnp-
taln Palmer at length concerning the
land he had found.

Finally the commander arose, placed
his hand upon the young cnptnfn’s
head, and said : "I name the land you
have discovered ‘Palmer Land’ In your
honor: hut what will my august mas I

cruising for two years In search of the
land that has been discovered by n boy.
In a sloop only a little larger than the
lannch of my frigate?”

of that part of the Antarctic; hut the
land found by the hoy captain of Ston

part of the world as “Palmer Archi

Antarctic continent was explored, by
