Language: English. Brand new Book. Excerpt from Notes on the Early History of Buenos Aires The same desire to reach the East ani mated succeeding explorers. The unex pected land discovered by Columbus was looked upon principally as a barrier on the road to Cathay, and efforts were made to find a passage through. The Portuguese explored the coast of Brazil in 1500. Solis, Chief Pilot of the King of Spain, may have discovered the Rio de la Plata in 1508, and certainly did in 1515. He got up as far as Martin Garcia, on which he buried the remains of his chief steward, recently deceased, whose name was given to the island. Solis landed on the western shore of the Parana and was killed by Indians. Magellan, a Portuguese acting under a commission from Spain, sailed around the Mar Dulce, as the Rio de la Plata was then called, in 1520, and continuing southward, found the Straits which bear his name. In 1526, Sebastian Cabot, an Englishman who suc ceeded Solis as Chief Pilot to the King of Spain, obtained a concession to explore the Straits of Magellan, but it is clear that his real intention was to find a way to Peru. About this time, stories had reached Spain from Panama about the re puted wealth of the Rey Blanco, a my thical potentate who subsequently attained reality in the person of the Inca. The conquest of Mexico a few years previous ly had shown that America was worth something on its own account, and as re gards this Southern Continent, trade routes to the East became secondary to a path to the country of the Rey Blanco. Sebastian Cabot was the most eminent geographer and navigator of his age, far too well informed to expect to find an in teroceanic communication through fresh water. He chose the Parana instead of the Uruguay, and worked northward. In 1527, he established a base for further explorations at a place about half-way be tween the present cities of Rosario and Santa Fe. An expedition sent inland met a party of nomadic Indians who wore silver ornaments, which, they explained, came from a country bordering on a great sea on the other side of the earth, and where similar treasures existed in an abundance beyond the ability of man to comprehend. It is said that the Spaniards obtained possession of this silver by bar ter, and it was sent to the King as a sample of what the country produced. The incident gave the new found region the name of Rio de la Plata. Cabot continued his explorations northward un til he was well up into the Paraguay river. He was preparing to go further, when he received the news that his base had been captured and destroyed by Indians, and in 1529 decided to return to Spain to fit out a new expedition.

Excerpt from Notes on the Early History of Buenos Aires As We were taught in our school days, the main object of the first voyage of Columbus was to reach the fabled East. The motives were material and commercial rather than scientific, although the Crusading spirit of the times found expression in that clause in his "Capitula-ciones" or contract with the Crown of Spain by which he agreed to devote all of his portion of the profits to the purchase of Jerusalem from the Moslems, so that the Holy Sepulchre might again belong to the Christians. The extraordinary successes of the Mohametan arms had closed the trade routes from Europe to Asia, and pressure from the same source was increasing. The only outlet was westward and the attention of the maritime nations became centered on new sea-routes.
