But the honour is generally given to theDutch discoverer Tasman. In 1642, returning to Batavia,after having discovered Tasmania, he came upon SouthIsland. Hoping to get fresh water and green food tosupply his ship, he anchored. Soon canoes pushed outfrom the shore, and wild, half-naked savages surroundedTasmans two ships. They called to the white strangersin loud, rough voices, and blew upon a harsh-soundingtrumpet. But they would not come within a stonesthrow of the ships, although Tasman tried to entice themwith presents of linen and knives. Seeing the natives so many and so warlike, Tasmanthought that it would be weU to warn the sailors in theother ship to be on their guard, and not let them comeaboard. So he ordered a boat to be lowered. But assoon as the natives saw the boat in the water, theysurrounded it and drove their canoes crashing
