The bull took to the woods or sank beneath the At lantic s waves as the lion, with a bound, sets his claws in the soil of the American continent, while John Cabot plants the royal standard of England, June 24, 1497, recalling to us the long drawn words of a youthful play, HOLD- FAST-ALL-I-GIVE-YOU. From that June morning 1497, England could make law ful claim to the whole American continent, by right of first discovery. That is horn-book law, sound law, from the beginning to the end of the worl...d. The right by first dis covery extends to and embraces all land connected by con tinuity of visible and tangible surface with the place of discovery. John and Sebastian sailed early in May 1497, in the ship Mathew, with a crew of eighteen men. They took a course a little north of west and discovered land early in the morn ing of the 24th day of June following, after sailing by their reconing, 2100 miles. They planted the flag of England upon the land, but saw no native inhabitants. They dis covered immense shoals of cod-fish on those coasts, so 10 dense, that they impeded the sailing of their ship.
