Men have lived hnlf a lifetime on a Barrier reef Isle without desire to wander. It may be a life, or one of healthy work and play, as you please. Rich men and poor men are lured to the region. Beach combers are rare now, yet here and there one meets with the cheerful loafer, who takes to a task only at tbe urge of sheer necessity. Spain has played her part In pioneer navigation of Australasian seas. In 1605 three ships under Admiral de Qulros sailed for the South Pacific from Callao. The captain of one was Luis Yaes de Torres, whose name lives forever as that of the strait between Australia and New Guinea. His vessel became separated from the other two, and Torres was probably the first European to sight Cape York peninsula, the northernmost point of Australia, and Prince of Wales Island. But Torres' discovery was a secret from the world until 1762, when among the archives at Manila the record of his great voyage was found by the British. They gave honor where It was due, naming the strait after Its discoverer. lotus-eatin- g Explored by Scientists. Scientific Investigation of the Great Barrier reef began when H. M. S. Fly cruised In the Coral sea and other waters. Her voyage extended over several years, and J. Beete Jukes was the naturalist on board her, a geologist whose Interests were not confined to rocks. Jukes wrote the first description of the Great Barrier, which remains one of the best general accounts we have of this geographical wonder; The Great Barrier reefs are thus found to form a long submarine buttress, or curtain, along the northeastern coast of Australia, rising in general precipitously from a very great depth, but resting toward the north of the shoaler ground of Torres strait, and toward the south on the bank stretching off from Sandy cape. If It were to be laid dry, this great Barrier would be found to have a considerable resemblance to a gigantic and Irregular fortification, a steep glacis crowned with a broken parapet wall, and carried from one rising ground to another.
