HUDSON LANDING FROM THE "HALF-MOON".
Henry Hudson, an English navigator in the employ of
the Dutch East India Company, while searching for a
short passage to China and India, sailed by chance
into what is now New York Bay; he started up the
river that to-day bears his name, on Sept. 2d, 1609, in
his ship, the "Half-Moon". This voyage ended about
where Albany now stands, and on Oct. 4th, he set
sail on his return journey to Amsterdam. Hudson was
eleven days navigating up the river, a distance that is
now traversed in as many hours.
