The next thirty days were given to an exploration of the Eay of New York, its surrounding shores, und a beautiful sail up the great river, which has ever after boon called by his name. 1 {ringing the» Half-Moon to anchor on the Jersey shore, the natives came in from the surround ing country, gayly dressed in tlu* furs and featlmrs of the* forest. Launching their light canoes they epiickly clustered around the ship with a warm weilcome*, and eager proposals fen* t rallie. Hudson describes their habits and customs. The y seemed to bo a happy community, living upon maize and beans, and carrying with them their reel copper pipes, with e*arth en bowls, and tho over pre*se*nt elastic lx)ws and shiiru fitone-]H>inteel arrow They furnished tho Half-Moon with plentiful supply of good oysters, and beans. It was tho loveliest autumn weather, and Hudson was entranced with the* nory around him. The* lofty J'alisaelevj were clothed with "goodly oaks," grand er than any ho had ever seen; and the island of Manhattan, sheltered by mighty forest, stretched down the east ern side of the river. Away behind him roae the green hills of Staten Island and tho towering heights of Navorsink; from tho north roiled down tlm glorious river, which at llrst hu believed could only he arm of the sen. Eut loosing the Half Moon to a delicious sout hern hr passed up the stream ; and when lu* found how great a discovery he had made, su; he il^ off 1 Yonkers, ho wrote that "it was as f *J* p 11 lu I , , ui J®* tr<*d»len by the foot [of man. And so he lloatcd on leisnr<»ly till a fresh breeze swept, him by West Point into the broader reaches beyond. In tho afternoon of the 15th he came in view of tho magnificent, range of the Catskills, and as tho sun was sett ing be hind thorn, he dropped anchor oil the bold bluff on tho east of the river, where a heautiful city called by his na soon afterwords founded. The next, day, at tho invitation of an aged chief of t he tribe of River Indians, he went on shore to receive their hospitalities. Hero he found himself surrounded by every sign of peace and comfort. The chief show » •< I him to a large circular building made of oak bark, with a high arched roof, which was filled witli beans and maize, ami stacked around stood last year's harvest, enough to load three ships. A lead was 'prepared, and mats wero laid for the guests. The young men had early gone to tho woods with their bows and arrows and soon returned with a quantity of pigeons. Theao were cooked, and tush of corn and beans were nerved in red wooden IkiwIh. Hut Hudson would not prolong his visit, and as ho was start - ing for his ship the Indians, ono and all, snapped their arrows in piec»*s, and e:u*;l thorn into the fire, in token of friendship. Traditions of that visit were long pre served by tho little River Tribe, and the stories aro still told to the children of tho neighborhood. The navigator had found a balmier climate than England, or, above all, Holland, ever river in Europe could match, in tho mag nifiecnco of its flood and forest, ncenery, tho lordly stream he had discovered. Tlm soil was a miracle of fertility ; tho woods wero haunted with game, and tho e tented and friendly inhabitants had ad ded to all theso attractions the char the most abundant hospitality. ''Of all tho lands," Raid Hudson, ''on which I liavo ever set my feet, this is the best for tillage." lie describes the month ho par,sod in the North River light and strange surprises. And may, for as tho short must then have appeared, still clothed with the unmarred beauty of nature,— water, mountain and sky, all bathed in tho gorgeous atmosphere of the Indian summer,—it must have made a spectacle of which even those of us who dwell here to-day can form no just conception ex cept by tho witchery of fancy, lint those hulcvon days could not last forever; tho Half-Moon had made profitable traffic, ana sho was ready for sea.
