So, "foolish" as the saudy plains of our beloved Capo may seen to tbee, 0 tourist I you cannot fsilro lova the land for the glorious spectacle of ever-varying eky and ucver-rosting sea with which it will bless yoar eye and heart. Thus much aesthetically : in the leaser pleasures of the Cspo, in out. l of-door Inn sod frolic, in drawing room j diversion end delight, and in the solemn j article of erestnre comfort aud consolation, is its most protean aspect, there is no shadow of "foolishness" wbatJust two and a half centuries ago, that it, in Aogust, 1609, when the Dutch were occupied lo greater enterprises than iojtbo taking of Holland, a worthy navigator in their busy employ, none other, indued, than the renowned ' Hendrik Hudson, sailed down the Atlantic coaat in his immortal erafl, the Half-Moon, and pasting Uapu May, unto red the waters of Delaware Bay. He wa* frlgbtottd off, however, by the shoals and sand-ban, and put incontinently back to sea. There we leave im, for be bed nothing more to do hereabouts, his laurels having been . already planted far to the northward, on the grand shores of the Hudson. Fourteen years later than the timo of this visit, there came to Cape May another Dutch skipper, who wss sot to be bluffed off by each obstructions as shoal and sand-bar, hat who, despite 5 them all, doubled the redoubtable Oepe, M entered the unknown wators of the Dele >t «ure, and explored the wild shores aa 3 for aa I be cite or the present city or Philadelphia. Thla second Dutchman - wa* the Ran who took the Cape for "their High Mightinesses," and toek lo , it for himself, explored it, and stood god-fother to it, a god-falbership which remains to this day, with only slight orthographical change. Ills name wa Ye,— Cornelias Jerobsec Mey. 11 built Port Kassaa hercaboel, e! which both the sight and site have, however. 4T ' long been missing. .

I l.onking yoi further ioto iho early i chronicles of our theme, we find that ! eight years after the cali of the great ' I explorer, that is. in 1631. there enme to 1 ' Capo May a third adventurer. This was ( David Pietcrson do Vrios He landed ! at Cope ilenlopon. thirteen miles snuth ! south-west of Capo May, on the cast ' coast of Delaware Here h« planted a ' colony which, upon a revisit the follow i ing year, be found to have wholly van. ished under the murderous hatchets of 'vue Itidfahs. -Thus, up to this period, 1 \ anty years nftor the discovery of the Delaware by Hudson, not a single F.tt- . . ropean remained upoo Hi shprc At . (this time, and long afterwards, the . • whale fishery was very successfully ) 1 proseculod here, though the Irade pass- i 1 nd sway many generations ego. Do j Vries, in bis journal, says; "March: '.•9th. 1633 — found that our people had | caught sewn whales. Wo could have | , done mora if we bad bad good haipooos, I for they struek seventeen fish and only , secured seven.' On the fifth of- May. 1630. a purchase of sixteen sqoaro miles was made at I C'up" Mav of nine of the resident chiefs, ! by I'etor Heysor, skipper of the ship . • Whale," 1» behalf of the Dulcb West- I India Company. This was the first re- | cor Jed purchase within the limits of the I Stale. Id 1641 the Capo region wn» agotn r bought by Swedish agents, a short lime . r before the arrival of the Swedish Gov- ' eroor. Printz. at 1'inicam. We have no reliable record of the ] vicinage baiog inhabited by whites at | an earlier period then 1685, though Mr. j Benedict, in his "History of (be Bap. j lists," speaks of the foundation of a ' church being laid there in 1675. upon 1 the alleg#d arrival of a company of omi- ■ bun h chronicles r - not rof-i "her back than 1711.

Master Evelyn's letter says: "On the North ,-ide (of Cape May) about fire miles ' within, is a port or rode for any ships, ' 1 called the Nook.
