Wilkes' Discover y of New Continenertica One Hundred Years Ag 0 Gave Am ts First Claim fo An tarctic Lands By ELMO (Released Newspaper into the tific investigation and, most important of all, strengthening any future claims of the United States on territory in the region of the South Pole -_recalls another intrepid American explorer who gave us our first claim to that country just 100 years ago. He was Lieut. Charles N. Wilkes of the United States navy, who, on January 16, 1840, was the first to discover the existence of a continent in the Antarctic sea. As has been the case in so many parts of the world, Great Britain was the first nation to assert sovereignty over Antarctica. Her claims go back to January 17, 1773, when Capt. James Cook crossed the Antarctic circle for A year the first time in history. later he reached what was then it though (even "farthest south' was 1,318 miles from the South a_ land discovered and pole!) which he named the Isle of Georgia, in honor of George III, and Sandwich land, in honor of the fourth earl of Sandwich, first lord of the admiralty during the American Revolution. In 1823 James Weddell of the British royal navy discovered the sea which now bears his name and set a new "farthest south'' record or 1,102 miles from the pole. Soon after that the famous whaling firm of Enderby in London became interested in Antarctic exploration and sent out several expeditions.

ROSSITER, Mer. gale-From To Aid Whalers. By this time the United States had become interested in South polar exploration also, and in 1836 congress authorized an expedition which was intended primarily to assist American whaling industries in compéting with the British by recharting and routing the South Pacific islands, locating islands, whaling areas and industrial prospects. Antarctic exploration was a secondary purpose. For this reason the expedition was not fitted out with vessels especially selected to buck ice packs or withstand polar winters; they were ordinary naval vessels of thin walls, weak prows and exposed rudders. The two larger vessels, the Vincennes and the Peacock, had the added disadvantage of a superimposed gun deck and exposed open gun ports in the lower deck. There was poor and inadequate stowage space for food and medical supplies and water and a very small supply of fuel. If Lieut. Charles N. Wilkes of the United States navy, commander of the expedition, had been ice-trapped and forced to winter within the Antarctic circle, he and his entire party would have been frozen or starved to death. The five ships that made the cruise, the sloops Vincennes and Peacock, the storeship Relief, the brig Porpoise and the tenders Sea Gull and Flying Fish, totaled less than 2,000 tons, and yet carried a crew of 440 men. This meant cramped quarters, with foul air and lack of space for isolation in case of sickness. Also, the authorities had failed to stock the squadron with anti-scorbutics to prevent scurvy. More an iilustration in Wilkes Has Troubles. _ Further to add to the difficulties, Wilkes began to show condescension and almost open con| tempt to the group of civilian sci| entists that had been assigned of the captain and the fear and discontent of his crew. From May to November the squadron made a great sweep across the South Pacific to Australia. On December 26 Wilkes led his squadron of four vessels, the Vincennes, which he commanded himself; the Peacock, commanded by Capt. William L. Hudson; the brig Porpoise, commanded by Lieut. Commander Cadwalader Ringgold; and the tender, Flying Fish, out of Sydney harbor and headed for Macquarie island, the first rendezvous. Within a week after leaving Sydney the Flying Fish and the Peacock dropped out of sight in the fog. Then the Porpoise disappeared pushed on southward cennes. but Wilkes in the Vin- Finds a New Continent. By January 16, 1840, he had reached 66 degrees south latitude and had found the Peacock and the Porpoise. They were now confronted by an ice barrier, but the crews of the remaining ships reported that appearances beyond the barrier seemed to indicate land, and in his report Wilkes sets January 16, 1840. as the date of the discovery of a new continent. Concerning this Wilkes writes In his five-volume the expedition narrative an illustration in believed to be land were visible from all three vessels, and the comparison of the three observations, when taken in connection with the more positive proofs of its existence afterward obtained, has left no doubt that the appearFrom ance was not deceptive. this day, therefore, we date the for ed claim discovery which is From the Peathe squadron." cock the mountains could be distinctly seen ‘"‘stretching to the anything as far as southwest could be discerned."'

HEALTH It does COLUMN of that "appearances Discoveries. On the nineteenth, ‘‘land was now certainly visible from the Vincennes, both to the southsoutheast and southwest, in the former direction most distinctly."' The same day Hudson, in the Peacock, saw what appeared to be an immense land mass, 3,000 feet high and covered with snow. On the twenty-second, twenty-third and twenty-eighth there were more ‘"‘appearances of land,"' the proximity of which was further indicated by the discoloration of the water and the character of the bottom shown by soundings. On the thirtieth the Vincennes entered an indentation of the icebound coast, which was named Piner's bay. ‘‘We approached,"' says Wilkes, ‘‘within half a mile of the dark voleanic rocks, which appeared on both sides of us, and saw the land gradually rising beyond the ice to the height of 3,000 feet. It could be distinctly seen extending to the east and west of our position fully 60 miles. Now that all were convinced of its existence, I gave the land the name of the Antarctic continent."' On February 13 the record notes: ‘‘Land distinctly seen from 18 to 20 miles distant, a lofty mountain range covered with snow." The following day land was again seen. On the fourteenth: ‘‘By measurement the extent of coast of the Antarctic continent, which was then in sight, 75 miles and 3,000 feet high."' Land Named for Him. Wilkes turned north when in about 97 degrees 40 minutes east, 64 degrees 1 minute south, after having skirted the Antarctic coast for fully 1,700 miles. What he had actually discovered was the large segment of Antarctica afterward named Wilkes land in his honor. On March 11, 1840, Wilkes arrived at Sydney and wrote to the \secretary of the navy: "It affords me much gratification to report that we have discovered a large body of land within the Antarctic circle, which I have named the Antarctic continent, and refer you to the report of our cruise and accompanying charts, enclosed herewith, for full information relative thereto.'' On March 13 the Sydney Herald published a long account of the expedition, in which appeared the first printed notice of the fact that a continent had been discovered in the Antarctic. Before the end of the year a similar announcement was published in London. Wilkes' expedition, made in unseaworthy sailing ships which lacked the special equipment usually regarded as indispensable by polar explorers, was a daring and splendid venture. Some of the positions he assigned to the coast have since been proved to be inaccurate and some of his appearances of land' w probably ice, but the fact is ais deniable that he found a vast stretch of Antarctic coast where no land of any kind was previously supposed to exist, and that the knowledge We possess today concerning the outlines of the Antarctic continent began to take definite Shape with his discoveries. But, most important of al] those discoveries gave the United States a real basis for its claims in Antarctica and some day if we wish to establish airplane bases there that may be a very important fact indeed. of the was placed in command On Novemsloop, San Jacinto. nencou o Jacint ber 8 the San er, tered the English mail steam Trent, which was on its way from Havana to St. Thomas in the West Aboard the steamer on Indies. of this voyage were John Slidell Louisiana and James M.

Hero of the Hour. Captain Wilkes took his prisoners to Boston where they were imprisoned in Fort Warren. Their capture created a_ sensation throughout the country and for e time Wilkes was the hero of the hour. His act was indorsed by the secretary of the navy who wrote the captain a letter of thanks and he received a similar letter from congress. Banquets and receptions were given him in Boston, New York and Washington. But over in England the affair was viewed in a very different light. The British government made a peremptory demand upon the government of the United States for the restoration of the prisoners and an official apology for Wilkes' insult to the British flag and his violation of international law. For a time it seemed that the United States and England might be embroiled in a war over the incident, for popular feeling in this country was running as high as it was across the Atlantic. Fortunately, however, President Lincoln and his secretary of State, William H. Seward, were unswayed by © public Opinion. They ordered the prisoners sur: on the ground that Caprendered tain Wilkes had erred in not oo rying the Trent to a neutral port to have the case adjudicated before a prize court.

Aside from the pain and its location, other symptoms mentioned are: Loss of appetite was an early symptom; vomiting occurred early and in about 90 per cent of the cases: nausea was present often.
