VANCOUVER
To 4te west of the North Amer-
ican Continent, off the coast di Brit-
iSh Columbia, lies the island of Van-
couver, with the city of Vancounver
facing it from the mainland. In con-
nection
onnection with these places, the name is
familiar enough; but of the explorer
for Whom t4ltey are called who, with
his few comp'aniotts, was the first
white man to look across the channel
.at the site of the future city, most of
us have probably heard little. His car-
seer came close after that of 'Ca'ptain
Cook, a picturesque figure who
caught the public eye. Too close, I
suppose: it is the same story as when
we see an able son overshadowed by
too famous a father. Yet Captain Van-
couver stands directly in our line of
history as does Captain Cook.
George Vancouver took to the sea
when he was thirteen years odd, and
from then on until he was forty-one fn
71798, there were only lis months dur-
ing which he was not navigating and
exploring in tile service of the British
Navy, His great chance came at fifteen
when he sailed with cook for the Ant-
aretic on Cook's second voyage, and
early endured the discomforts and
dangers of life aboard an eighteenth -
century vessel. hardships we scarcely
even imagine now that our thoughts
of crossing ifhe ocean are inseparable
from the idea of a "Heating -palace."
He was with Cook, too, an his fatal
third voyage to the Sandwich Islands
—islands Cook himself had discover-
ed.
\Vhen late in the year 1790 Van-
couver, in his turn, was given com-
mand ai a "Voyage° of Discovery to

when he refused to sell them firearms,
and instead bought them cattle—
though he had difficulty in making
the islanders look upon these as a

ally pet waded him to cede the islands
to England, Rut, because England
was the at moment too much concern-
ed over European events to realize the
value of this prize. the cession was

Can we wonder if, in some of his
many tasks, he failed: That he never
settled with the Spaniard Quadra, the
cession of the Nootka territory was net
fault of his. but was due to continuing
differences between the twc, govern-

INVENTOR OF AUTOGIRO
DIES IN AIR CRASH
•
Aviation has suffered a great loss
through the death of Senor Juan de
la Cierva, inventor of the autogiro in
an air crash, Senor de la Cierva was
kvlled In the Dutch air liner disaster
at Croydon in which 413 people met
their death. He was born at Murcia in
Southern Spain. 411 years ago., but obit
work since he invented the rotor type
of airplane 'brought him frequently to
Great Britain and 'France. He w -as a
•fellow- of the Royal Aeronautical So-
ciety.
Despite the intrinsic difficulties
with this type of machine, lienor de
la Cierra had a passionate belief in
man': ability to create a machine
which could rise and land without a
run and also hover when desired lith

In 103L' Senor de la Cierra had ev-
oked a type with only three horizon-
tal propellers. The 'fuselage resem-
bled a small suhntarine mounted rat a
triangle ti ith a :}heel at each corners
and a forward speed of IMO nt,p.h..
