Tho 8hip of Ulysses in the Harbor of Corfu.
(Prepared by th? National Olographic Ho.
clety, Washington, D. C,)
The recent occupation of the Island
of Corfu by Italy was on the faco of
It the tuking by force of Greek terri
tory by an alien nation ; but the Inland
ban been cuffed about and batted hack
and forth so continually throng'" the
centuries that half a dozen nations,
Including Italy, might lay claim to It
on the plea of former ownership.
Corfu Is one of the parts o^ the lock
that secures the Adriatic sea at Its
narrow neck from the Ionian aea and
the open waters of the Mediterranean.
It lies like a watch-tower in the Ionian
sea before the narrowing entrance of
the Strait of Otranto. To the north
of It a rugged finger of Albanian
mountain-lnnd reaches out Into the
strait, and. bending back, forms the
splendid naval harbor of Avlona, one
of the golden hopes of Austrian and
Italian ambitions. To the northwest
of Corfu, the iong Italian heel cuts
out into the waters of the Ionian sea.
Together, these three elements domi
nate the Adriatic's outlet.
C"rfi: is "ohapeu .somewhat HKe a
sickle or a rough crescent, the points
or horns of which are toward the
Greek mainland. The northern point
lacks only two miles of meeting the
mainland, but the southern point Is
some ten miles offshore. The bulge of
water which Corfu and the mainland
almost make into a lake forms a won
derful land locked roadstead which has
played Its part in naval affairs for
two millenniums.
The town and harbor of Corfu are
on the east side of the Island on the
shore of this roadstead across which
some twelve or fifteen miles away
rises the rough shore of Kplrus. In
the harbor Is the little bristling Isle
'?f Vido, which has often boon heavily
fortified by Its various owners.
Homer Told Its Beauties.
Bathed in Mediterranean sunshine,
with a rather dry climate for a con
siderable period of the year, the Island
of Corfu has always been considered
h pleasure spot; and It failed to lose
this reputation even when the silting^
up of a number of arms of the sea and
the formation of stagnant lakes
brought malaria to some of the low
lands.
Homer describes the island as a sort
of paradise in the dim days of Greek
beginnings. He makes it out an Idyl
lic lotus-land of beautiful people and
beautiful scenery with an abundance
of figs and grapes and other fruits.
The island first emerges in history
as the site of Coreyra, a city founded
only a few miles from the present
town of Corfu by colonists from Cor
inth. .The date of Corc.vra's birtli Is
set at wM 11.. C. ? twenty six centuries
ago. The colony- grew rapidly in
wealth, In maritime power, and Into a
confident spirit of independence. Cor
cyra's fleet, protected in its wonderful
roadstead, grew strong, and in <504
H.iC. fought with Its mother-city, Cor
inth, the first recorded Greek naval
battle. Corinth won ; hut before long
Coreyra was again independent. When
a second dispute arose with fori nth.
Coreyra allied Itself with Athens,
much a - our . "it'ii ai forefathers al
lied tbemsel\e> with England's great
rival. I ranee This move of Corcyra's
led to Mo'- l*eloppn?:c?ian war. the

ha'f s renin;*.
Corfu's laost Important middle Pe
riod beftnn In 1380, when It placed
ituelf voluntarily under Venetian pro
tection. In 1401 Venice assumed com
plete control and for 400 years held
the island. It was during this period
that the Island took its modern name.
It was a veritable stronghold against
the Turk when Ottoman heels were on
all of mainland Greece and practically
all her Islands. Time after time the
Turks tried to selae Corfu, but the
Venetians always managed to drUe
them back.
It took the great political cataclysm
I that Napoleon brought about to shake
Venice's hold from Corfu. When Bo
naparte handed Venice to Austria in
1797 he kept Corfu for France. It
was occupied by the French for only
two years, however. Then a combined
force of Russians and Turks captured
the Island, and combining It with the
six other Ionian islands, set up the
Federation of the Seven Isles under
Turkish sovereignty. The short pe
riod from 1700 to 1808 was the only
nn# during which the Turks hv-hl cVcu
nominal control over this island that
had so long defied them and which
they so long had coveted.
In 1807 the French again came Into
possession of Corfu, but they were
ousted at the "European clearing
house" of 1815. Then Corfu added
another erratic chapter to Its check
ered career and became with the other
Ionian isles a protectorate of Great
Britain. In 1804 Corfu once more
found herself a part of Greece when
Great Britain ceded the Ionian Isles
to that kingdom.
Corfu does not show the marks of
its many masters as plainly as might
be expected. Only the scantiest of
relics of ancient Corcyra and the
Greek classic age are found, and there
is hardly a trace of Roman works. A
few hiiiidings show British Influence,
a few military works the hand of
France. I'robably the deepest Impress
was made by Venice. Not only in the
town of Corfu, but throughout the
Island as well, are numerous monas
teries and oilier buildings showing an
unmistakable Venetian cast.
Population Is Mixed.
The people show more plainly the
effects of the many cross-currents of
authority that have tlowed over the
Island. In Corfu city, for example,
a considerable fraction of the popula
tion is made up of Jews; something
like a third are of mixed Greek and
Venetian blood ; and the rest are a
mixture of all the strains of the many
peopled shores of the Mediterranean ?
Greek, Italian. Turk, Albanian, Mal
tese, Dalmatian and many others.
The town of Corfu, like many other
communities t hit t have survived from
the Middle ages, lias in its lower part
a labyrinth of narrow streets, many
of them too steep and rough and eon-,
str'cted to permit the use of wheeled
vehicles. The hand of Italy appears
again In the many arcades, and the
East shows us influence in the dark
recesses and crowded bazaars, on a
higher level the city is built on a
more open plan with better and more
siirhtlv bnililin<_'v.
The town Is picturesque if some
what dirty. But the real charn of
Corfu is in the open and higher coun
try. Passably good roads skirt the
se;i clif!*- and peiiei r.i I e (lie hills from ;

To him came the reporter of the lo

*' I low did you succeed in1 dispersing
the gang?'' he asked.
"Well," ."aid the sheriff, nonchalant
ly, "when the boys swarmed around
me 1 just stepped out with a couple of
guns in my hand and spoke to them
southing like."
' Ami what did you actually say?" |
asked the reporter.
UJ just reminded 'em that my broth- j

round here knowed that I was .1
