Henry Hudson,  Explorer to find the Northwest Passage for both England and Spain, Has been found nearby an English colony in the New World (a.k.a. North America) apparently living with an Indian tribe.  I ask Hudson how exactly he ended up in this tribe. “Well,” says Hudson, “Everyone knows that my crew, so desperately wanting to go home when I kept searching for the Northwest Passage after I had already failed, left me, my son, and 7- only 7- loyal crew members in a rowboat and left us to die. But they don’t know is that we rowed and rowed and rowed until we got to land.  While hauling the rowboat everywhere we went, found a Indian tribe I had traded with before, and stayed there- until you found me.”  Hudson also showed us the very rowboat his crew left him in, which is now used for fishing for the tribe.  I also asked Hudson if he would return to England to see his family. “No,” He says. “I have new friends here, accompanied with my new wife, Wapiki, and a new bouncing baby boy.”  There we have it, folks! This is Ryan B, your source for awesome news.                _____________________________________________________________
