Their bravery in daring the unknown dangers of the sea and the perils of the interior of the new country has made them almost legendary heroes. Many are the tales of Columbus, the poor boy of Genoa, who loved to sit on the wharves and dream of the days when he might sail forth in great ships such as those he saw entering the harbor. Many are the tales of other great explorers of the new world-how they risked unknown dangers in their service to the king, and in their search for riches. The marvelous tales of the new world, the conquest of Mexico and Peru are characterized by the search for wealth. The great riches of these early days, the gold and jewels of the Incas, is a conception almost beyond the scope of imagination. All such tales, fabled and real, helped to build up the A legendary character of the early explorers. But all was not everywhere so Wonder- ful. Some adventurers came looking for gold but found only torture and struggle and death in the new world. They found only death in a horrible form: death by torture, by poisoned arrow, by starvation. Such a fate was too frequently the reward of their bravery. The heroism of these men has left its traces on America. Their day waned, but they caused themselves to be remembered eternally in history. The early Spanish pioneers were soon succeeded by the Eng- lish fthe Elizabethan Sea Dogsml and later by their successors, the founders of Jamestown and Plymouth. The Sea Dogs, although really pirates, served a good purpose for England and America, for their piracy gave our English fore- fathers a hold on the sea and also a foot- hold in America. .maj , Qs.. ff-xc . ,' I Y VS f xg fix T I , 1 , Ikxg-it m.

It was freezing and cold, We knew nothing before Of what real winter meant, Till we came to this shore. Then the Indians! Oh! But the story you know For you've read of it all, In the books long ago. YVere we sorry we came From England so dear? Indeed we were not- Though it was rather drear. Then at last came the harvest, With good things in store, Do you wonder our hearts Were with joy running o'er? So. our Governor Bradford. With gentle, wise sway, Said, Let us be thankful One whole blessed day. There was not one to ask Or demur at his word: But over all Plymouth Greatest joy could be heard.
