The shores of his tory are strewn with wreckage which represents in telligent, earnest, but unsuccessful efforts to get to some place before anybody else got there, or to do something nobody else ever had done relics, these, of which the layman would have no present knowledge were it not that modern beach-combers perhaps rendered desper ate by the realization that everything else had been gleaned have concentrated on these bits of wreckage, and clamoured about them, insisting upon their sig nificance in the scheme of things. Which is all to the good. With stones of success and grand achievement we have been surfeited. Recipes, formulas, secrets of success, have been heaped upon us too liberally. And the fine art of failure has been ignored. Victory may have its glory there is poetry In defeat. While success dazzles, stuns by its very brilliancy, fail ure is of the stuff we all understand we know it, feel at home with it it is gemudllch. Moreover, one failure, properly examined, contains far more instruction than any tale of a goal achieved. So if you like lessons, the wreckage is filled with them. Humphrey Gilbert was a failure.

Who remembers the predecessors of the Wright brothers, or cares anything about their bruises and broken bones And how many laboratory workers, do you suppose, scorched their hands and faces, and endured the derision of their associates, be fore that mediaeval monk discovered gunpowder for the Western World Even old Admiral Columbus, an ex ception among exceptions, died in jail while less original seamen were making money along the trail he had blazed. Contemporaries were fond of referring to u gentle Humphrey Gilbert. It is well not to be misled. The man was anything but gentle in the modern sense of that word. He was a dreamer, yes, and a scholar but he was also a man of action, who on the field of battle could be as brutal, as bloodthirsty, as any personage in history far more so than most of them. It is likely that the adjective referred rather to his breeding. In that sense, he was gentle....
