That white speck is dim and distant no longer. It is nearer now. It spreads forth huge wings of snow-white ; it displays a massive body of jet- black ; it comes on, this strange wondrous thing, tearing the waves with its beak. Beak ? Yes, for it is a bird, a mighty bird, sent by Manilto from the Spirit-Land, sent to save or to destroy ! Gloriously over the bay it comes. Larger and larger yet it grows. White and beautiful spread its fluttering wings over the dark waters. The Red Man sinks aghast.... He prays. By the rustling in the leaves, by the voice of his own heart, he knows that Manitto hears his prayer. The White Bird comes for good ! Leaving the rude Indian to gaze upon the sight of wonder with his own eyes, let us also look upon it with ours. A noble ship, dashing with wide-spread sails over the waters of the Dela- ware Bay ! Such is the sight which two hundred years ago, excited the wonder and awe of the rude Indian, who never beheld ship or sail before. Ship and sail had tossed and whitened along this bay full many a time be- fore, but the Indian dwelling in the fastnesses of impenetrable swamps, had never laid eyes upon this wondrous sight until this hour.
