ONCE UPON A TIME.
Ordered to find a short sea route from England to China by sailing directly over the North Pole, Henry Hudson bravely set forth in a frail little ship of sixty tons, named Hopewell. Of course, the attempt failed, for it was soon found that there were great fields of ice where they expected to find open seas. Still search for a short cut between the Atlantic and Pacific, Hudson found the great .Amorican River, wfyich bears his name to this very day. His fourth journey had a tragic end. Returning home in the Discovery, the little ship got locked fas' in the polar ice, and when the spring came round and released her, the crew, terrified and nearly starving, mutinied and cast Hudson and his son Jack adrift in a ro%ving boat, and they wero never seen again.
