' Armchair . Travels-II, Travelling with the English Adventurers of the Sixteenth Century'
THE gigantic nature of Sir
Francis Drake 's voyage round the world is apt to dwindle in our minds in these days when everyone is becoming a regular globe-trotter. So, too, with the adventurous voyages of Raleigh. Yet it is doubtful whether any of the tasks undertaken by our explorers and innovators of today excel, for all their near glamour, the daring of these heroic Elizabethans. In her talk this afternoon Miss Grierson, continuing her armchair travels, will tell particularly of Drake's voyage round the world and Raleigh's discovery of Guiana.
