"Her own feet shall carry her afar off to sojourn," is a sentence too positive in its construction to be viewed by any reader as an idle or a careless expression by ISAIAH. The solemn occasion upon which it was uttered,--viz., the prediction of a Nation's downfall,--utterly repudiates even the supposition that it, as part of the great Prophecy, should not be strictly fulfilled with the residue; and every other part having been accomplished, it would be sophistry to assume that this particular line should not be:--but such an assumption would not hold, since its fulfilment is absolutely proved in the Southern portion of Ancient America. CHAPTER XIII. (332 B. C.) THE FIRST MIGRATION ACROSS THE ATLANTIC OCEAN, AND THE LANDING OF THE TYRIANS UPON THE WESTERN HEMISPHERE. &c. NOW 2175 YEARS SINCE, AND CONSEQUENTLY 1824 YEARS BEFORE THE RE-DISCOVERY BY COLUMBUS. THE FULFILMENT OF THE SEVENTH AND LAST TYRIAN PROPHECY, BY ISAIAH. SECTION I. "THE MEANS AND APPLIANCES" FOR THE VOYAGE. In the endeavour to establish the fact contemplated by the title of this chapter, it will be necessary to bring to the memory of the reader some of the material points having reference to the Voyage around the continent of Africa. [Vol. i., Book ii., ch. vi., § 2.] Other points of proof will be given, and for convenience in numerical order. 1st. _The Galleys._ The larger Galleys were double-masted, and they had not only the large square sails which were exactly suited for running before the wind, from their central and balanced position; but they had also the powerful adjunct of the Rowers, whose services were rendered with or without reference to the assistance of the sails. The extraordinary power of the Rowers is recorded by nearly every ancient Historian, and from Scripture we have the character of their strength and fearlessness, especially of the Tyrians. EZEKIEL writes in his description of Tyrus,-- "And thy Rowers have brought thee into great waters." The fitness or the capacity of the Galleys will not be questioned, when thought is given to the previous expedition around Africa, and especially at the doubling of the Cape of Good Hope, which is far more dangerous than crossing the Atlantic. 2d. _The locality of the Fortunate Isles_ (_i. e._ Canaries). This is important. These are situated on the North-West coast of Africa, in the Atlantic ocean, and _within_ thirty degrees of North latitude, and, consequently, directly under the influence of the celebrated Easterly Wind.
