Cabot and the New Found Land
4n the summer of 1493 the news
had spread throughout Europe that
a sea captain of Genoa, one Chris-
t,Fpber Columbus, had sailed across
the •Western Ocean for the King of
hSpain, and found the Indies. Neither
e nor any other man then know
that the land be had found was an
unknown continent which lay oe-
tween the old European world and
4itia. Many men had dreamed of a
Way to the Orient by a western
ttp'age. Among them was another
:Wive of Genoa, Giovanni Cabotto,
65s John Cabot, as later he can to
be called. In. 1461, Cabot went to
Venice and became a citizen of that
great trading port, and spent many
years voyaging in the Eastern Medi-
terranean and the Red Sea. Here
oflearned much about the countries
the far East, of India and Persia
and China, heard tales of rich and
populous cities, of royal palaces,
and great temples, for mines of
gold and precious stone, and of the
wealth to be gained by the trade
in silks and spices. In 1484 he went
to England with the Venetian
traders and settled there for some
years. Cabot knew that he could not
interest the merchants of Venice In
his project of a western route to
Asia, since if that were established,
' Venice would be no longer the great
importing centre for the products of
East. Both he and Columbus realiz-
ed that their hopes lay in interest-
ing the countries on the Atlantic
seaboard in the new route. So, while
Columbus went to Portugal and
Spain, Cabot sought to attract the
merchants and rulers of England by
the prospects of the play he had in
mind. He talked to the merchants of
London and Bristol, the two great
English seaports of that time; but
4 none ventured to support the experi-
ment. Then came the news of what
Columbus and the Spaniards had
done. Cabot'sidea had been shown
to be possible, and the hard-headed
English merchants began to think
more favorably of his visionary
project. In the winter of 1495-6 the
King of England, Henry VII, visited
Bristol. He was shrewd, cautious
and money -loving. In Bristol, no
doubt, he heard much about Cabot
and his plans. Probably he listened
to Cabot himself. He became in-
terested, and he gave Cabot and
his sons permission to make a
voyage, to sail under the King's
colors, and, in the language of his
charter, authorized them to take
possession of any cities, islands or
mainland which they might discover
—on condition that they bore all
costs and gave him one-fifth of all
the profits. It was a shrewd bargain
and cost Henry nothing, for he sup-
plied no money, and Cabot and his
partners were to take all' the risks
and do all the work. Cabot gath.
ered a crew of eighteen men, nearly all of them English, and
fitted out a small ship, called the Matthew, and on the second
of May, 1497, sailed out of the harbor of Bristol into the Atlantic
Ocean. Northward and westward the little ship made her way across the
unknown waters, buffeting against variable winds for fifty-two days
until, on the 24th day of June, land came in' sight. What land was it?
From the descriptions it is hard to tell. Some say it was the island
still called Newfoundland, others Labrador, but the opinion of most
modern students is that it was Cape Breton. Wherever it was, as the ship
neared its shores; every eye watched eagerly for the great cities, the
palaces, the temples and castles, of whichtheywere to take possession.
They sow only waves breaking on miles of lonely beach, and rocky cliffs
crowned with heavy forests. Cabot and his men went ashore: the first
Englishmen to set foot in North America. They set up a cross and planted,
beside it the banners of England and Venice, and thus claimed all the
country for the King of England. They mat no inhabitants; but they saw
signs of human 'life: trees rudely chopped, and snares for wild animals.
The land appeared fertile, and Cabot thought that he had reached the
north-eastern extremity of Asia, and that the populus cities, the mines
of gold and the islands of silk and spices and jewels were only a short
•

distance beyond. Ho did not tarry, or go farther; but stopping only long
enough to take on board firewood and fresh water, set sail for home,
with the news that he had found the way to the East by sailing westward.
A second voyage . ,. . He found only the rockbound toast of
Labrador. The wind Was pioreing cold, though it was July, -the shores
were, desolate and barren, the sea was filled with huge icebergs. The
sailors refused to go farther north, and Cabot turned back. He searched
the coasts of Nova Scotia and New England, looking for Japan and China,
and at length, as his supplies were running low, he sailed home to Eng.
land empty-handed. The expedition had been a failure, and he mot only
the discontent of those who had invested in his voyago and who expected
him to bring back ship -loads of gold and jewels. The King had no
further use for so unprofitable a servant, and we hear little more of.
Cabot, though hie son,, Sebastian, found employment for many years as Id
geographer and map -maker, To -day their names live as those of the first
Europeans, sine. the time of the early Norsemen, to reach the mainland
of North America, and the first to plant there the flag of England. By
