¶
The
description
of
the
West
Indies
in
generall
,
but
chiefly
and
particularly
of
Florida
.
THat
part
of
the
earth
which
at
this
day
wee
call
the
fourth
part
of
the
world
or
America
,
or
the
Augustus
Caesar
,
and
that
Virgil
hath
made
mention
thereof
in
the
sixt
booke
of
his
Aeneidos
,
when
he
saith
,
That
there
is
a
lande
beyond
the
starres
,
and
the
course
of
the
yeere
and
of
the
sunne
,
where
Atlas
the
Porter
of
heauen
sustaineth
the
pole
vpon
his
shoulders
:
neuerthelesse
it
is
easie
to
iudge
that
he
meaneth
not
to
speake
of
this
land
,
whereof
no
man
is
founde
to
haue
written
before
his
time
,
neither
yet
aboue
a
thousand
yeeres
after
.
Christopher
Colon
did
first
light
vpon
this
Castile
,
and
gaue
vnto
it
his
owne
name
,
wherevpon
afterward
it
was
called
America
.
Bresill
,
and
the
lande
of
Parots
.
It
stretcheth
it selfe
according
vnto
Postel
from
the
one
pole
to
the
other
,
sauing
at
the
straight
of
Magelan
,
wherevnto
it
reacheth
,
three
and
Iohn
Verarsana
a
Florentine
was
sent
by
king
Frauncis
the
first
,
and
by
Madam
the
Regent
his
mother
vnto
these
newe
regions
,
where
he
went
on
land
,
and
discouered
all
the
Coste
which
is
from
the
tropicke
of
Cancer
,
to
witte
,
from
the
eight
and
twentith
vnto
the
fiftith
degree
,
and
farther
to
the
North.
Hee
planted
in
this
Countrey
the
ensignes
and
armes
of
the
king
of
Fraunce
:
so
that
the
Spaniardes
themselues
,
which
were
there
afterward
,
haue
named
this
Countrey
Terra
Francesca
.
The
same
then
extendeth
it selfe
in
Latitude
from
the
25.
degree
vnto
the
54
,
toward
the
North
:
and
in
Longitude
from
210.
vnto
330.
The
Easterne
part
thereof
is
called
by
the
late
Writers
the
lande
of
Norumbega
,
which
beginneth
at
the
Bay
of
Gama
,
which
separateth
it
from
the
Isle
of
Canada
,
whither
Roberuall
and
Iaques
Carter
sayled
the
yeere
1535.
About
the
which
there
are
many
Ilands
,
among
which
is
that
which
is
named
Terra
de
Labrador
stretching
toward
Groneland
.
In
the
Westerne
parte
there
are
many
knowne
countries
,
as
the
Region
of
Quiuira
,
Ceuola
,
Astatlan
,
and
Terlichichimici
.
The
Southerne
part
is
called
Florida
,
because
it
was
discouered
on
Palmesunday
,
which
the
Spaniards
call
Pascha
Florida
.
The
Northerne
part
is
altogether
vnknowen
.
The
second
part
of
all
America
is
called
Newe
Spaigne
.
It
Themistitan
,
and
it
hath
many
regions
,
and
many
Ilandes
adioyned
vnto
it
,
which
are
called
the
Antilles
,
whereof
the
most
famous
and
renounced
are
Hispaniola
and
Isabella
,
with
an
infinite
number
of
others
.
All
this
land
together
with
the
Bay
of
Mexico
,
and
all
the
Islandes
aforesaide
haue
not
in
longitude
past
seuentie
degrees
,
to
wit
,
from
the
240.
vnto
three
hundreth
and
ten
:
it
is
also
long
and
narrow
as
Italie
.
The
third
part
of
America
is
called
Peru
,
it
is
Magelan
.
It
is
made
in
fashion
like
to
an
egge
,
and
is
very
well
knowne
vppon
all
sides
.
The
parte
where
it
is
largest
hath
threescore
degrees
,
and
from
thence
it
waxeth
narrower
and
narrower
toward
both
the
endes
.
In
one
part
of
this
land
Villegagnon
planted
right
vnder
the
tropicke
of
Capricorne
,
and
he
called
it
Fraunce
Antarticke
,
because
it
draweth
toward
the
pole
Antarticke
,
as
our
Fraunce
doth
toward
the
Articke
.
New
Fraunce
is
almost
as
great
as
all
our
Europe
.
Howbeit
Florida
,
whether
many
Frenchman
haue
made
diuerse
voyages
at
sundry
times
,
in
so
much
that
now
it
is
the
best
known
countrie
,
which
is
in
al
this
parte
of
new
Fraunce
.
The
Cape
thereof
is
as
it
were
a
long
head
of
land
streatching
out
into
the
Sea
an
hundred
leagues
,
and
runneth
directly
toward
the
South
,
it
hath
right
ouer
against
it
25.
leagues
distant
the
Isle
of
Cuba
otherwise
called
Isabella
,
toward
the
East
the
Isles
of
Bahama
&
Lucaya
,
and
toward
the
West
the
Bay
of
Mexico
.
The
Countrie
is
flat
,
and
deuided
with
diuers
riuers
,
and
therefore
moyst
,
and
is
sandie
towards
the
Sea
shore
.
There
groweth
in
those
parts
great
quantitie
of
Pynetrees
which
Affrica
.
The
Foules
are
Turkeycockes
,
Partridges
,
Parrots
,
Hermaphrodites
,
which
take
all
Boucaned
.
They
eate
willingly
the
flesh
of
the
Crocodil
:
&
in
deed
it
is
faire
and
white
:
and
were
it
not
that
it
sauoureth
too
much
like
muske
we
would
oftentimes
haue
eaten
thereof
.
They
haue
a
custome
among
them
,
The
women
are
of
the
like
disposition
,
&
great
,
and
of
the
same
colour
Beholde
in
briefe
the
description
of
the
Countrey
,
with
the
nature
and
customes
of
the
inhabitantes
:
which
I
was
verie
willing
to
write
,
before
I
entred
anie
further
into
the
discourse
of
my
historie
,
to
the
end
that
the
Readers
might
the
better
be
prepared
to
vnderstand
that
which
I
meane
hereafter
to
entreate
of
.
MY
Lord
Admiral
of
Chastillion
,
a
noble
man
more
destrous
of
the
publike
than
of
his
priuate
benefite
,
vnderstanding
the
pleasure
of
the
king
his
prince
,
which
was
to
discouer
new
&
strange
countries
,
caused
vessels
fitte
for
this
purpose
to
bee
made
readie
with
all
diligence
,
and
men
to
be
leuied
meet
for
such
an
enterprise
:
Among
whom
he
chose
Captaine
Iohn
Ribault
,
a
man
in
truth
expert
in
Sea
causes
:
which
hauing
receiued
his
charge
set
himself
Florida
,
landing
neere
a
Cape
or
Promontorie
,
which
is
no
high
lande
,
because
the
coste
is
all
flatte
,
but
onelie
rising
by
reason
of
the
high
woods
,
which
at
his
arriuall
he
called
Cape
François
in
honour
of
our
Fraunce
.
This
Cape
is
distant
from
the
equator
Iohn
Ribault
,
promising
to
shewe
him
their
king
,
which
rose
not
vp
as
they
did
,
but
remayned
still
sitting
vppon
greene
leaues
of
bayes
and
Palmetrees
:
toward
whom
the
Captaine
went
and
sate
downe
by
him
,
and
heard
him
make
a
long
discourse
,
but
with
no
great
pleasure
,
because
he
coulde
not
vnderstand
his
language
,
and
much
lesse
May
,
because
we
Seine
,
because
it
is
very
like
vnto
Somme
.
From
thence
wee
sayled
about
sixe
leagues
,
after
wee
discouered
another
Riuer
,
which
after
we
had
vewed
was
baptised
by
vs
by
the
name
of
Loyre
.
And
consequently
we
there
discouered
fiue
others
:
whereof
the
first
was
named
Cherente
,
the
second
Garonne
,
the
third
Gironde
,
the
fourth
Belle
,
the
fifte
Grande
:
which
being
very
well
discouered
with
such
things
as
were
in
them
,
by
this
time
in
lesse
then
the
space
of
threescoare
leagues
we
had
found
out
many
singularites
a
longe
nine
riuers
.
Neuerthelesse
not
fully
satisfied
we
sailed
yet
farther
toward
the
North
,
following
the
course
that
might
bring
vs
to
the
Riuer
of
Iordan
,
one
of
the
fayrest
Riuers
of
the
North
,
and
holding
our
wonted
course
,
great
fogs
and
tempestes
came
vpon
vs
which
constrayned
vs
to
leaue
the
cost
to
beare
toward
the
mayne
Sea
,
which
was
the
cause
that
we
lost
the
sight
of
our
Pinisses
a
whole
day
and
a
night
,
vntill
the
next
day
in
the
morning
,
what
tune
the
weather
waxing
fayre
and
the
Sea
calme
wee
discouered
Belle
a
veoir
.
After
we
had
sayled
three
or
foure
leagues
,
we
began
to
espie
our
Pinisses
which
came
straight
towardes
vs
,
and
at
their
ariuall
they
reported
to
the
Captayne
,
that
,
while
the
foule
weather
and
fogges
endured
,
they
harbored
themselues
in
a
mightie
Riuer
which
in
bignesse
and
beautie
exceeded
the
former
:
wherewithall
the
Captayne
was
exceeding
ioyfull
,
for
his
chiefe
desire
was
to
finde
out
an
Hauen
to
harboure
his
Shippes
,
and
there
to
refresh
our selues
for
a
while
.
Thus
making
thitherwarde
wee
ariued
a
thwarte
the
said
Riuer
Port
Royal
)
wee
strooke
out
sayles
and
cast
Anker
at
ten
fathom
of
water
:
for
the
depth
is
such
,
namely
when
the
Sea
beginneth
to
flowe
,
that
the
greatest
Shippes
of
Fraunce
,
yea
,
the
Arguesses
of
Venice
may
enter
in
there
.
Hauing
cast
Anker
the
Captayne
with
his
Souldiers
went
on
shore
,
and
hee
himselfe
went
first
on
land
:
where
we
found
the
place
as
pleasant
as
was
possible
,
for
it
was
all
couered
ouer
with
mightie
high
Okes
and
infinite
store
of
Cedars
,
and
with
Lentisques
growing
vnderneath
them
,
smelling
so
sweetly
that
the
very
fragrant
odour
only
made
the
place
to
seeme
exceeding
Sallicoques
,
which
were
no
lesse
then
Creuises
,
so
that
two
draughts
of
the
net
were
sufficient
sometimes
to
feede
all
the
company
of
our
two
Shippes
for
a
whole
day
.
The
Riuer
at
the
mouth
Iordan
,
the
other
Iohn
Ribault
accompanied
with
a
good
number
of
Liborne
.
Afterward
we
imbarked
our selues
to
search
another
I
le
not
farre
distant
from
the
former
:
wherein
after
we
had
gon
a
land
we
found
nothing
but
tall
Ceders
,
the
fayrest
that
were
seene
i●
this
Countrey
.
For
this
cause
we
called
it
the
Ile
of
Ceders
:
so
we
returned
Iohn
Ribault
determined
to
returne
once
againe
toward
the
Indians
which
inhabited
that
arme
of
the
Riuer
which
runneth
toward
the
West
,
and
to
carry
with
him
good
store
of
souldiers
.
For
his
meaning
was
to
take
two
Indians
of
this
place
to
bring
them
into
Fraunce
,
as
the
Queene
had
commaunded
him
.
With
this
deliberation
againe
we
tooke
our
former
course
,
so
farre
foorth
that
at
the
last
we
came
to
the
selfesame
place
where
at
the
first
we
Indians
,
from
thence
we
tooke
two
Indians
by
the
permission
of
the
king
,
which
thinking
that
they
were
more
fauoured
then
the
rest
thought
themselues
very
happie
to
stay
with
vs
.
But
these
two
Indians
seeing
we
made
no
shew
at
all
that
we
would
goe
on
land
,
but
rather
that
we
followed
the
middest
of
the
courrant
,
began
to
be
somewhat
offended
,
and
would
by
force
haue
lepte
into
the
water
,
for
they
are
so
good
swimmers
that
immediately
they
woulde
haue
gotten
into
the
forrestes
.
Neuerthelesse
being
acquainted
with
their
humour
,
wee
watched
them
narrowly
and
sought
by
all
meanes
to
appease
them
:
which
wee
could
not
by
any
meanes
doe
for
that
time
,
though
wee
offered
them
thinges
which
they
much
esteemed
,
which
thinges
they
disdayned
to
take
,
and
gaue
backe
againe
whatsoeuer
was
giuen
them
,
thinking
that
such
giftes
should
haue
altogether
bound
them
,
and
that
in
restoring
them
they
shoulde
bee
restored
vnto
their
libertie
.
In
fine
,
perceiuing
that
all
that
they
did
auayled
them
Toya
.
Which
feast
they
obserue
as
straightly
as
wee
obserue
the
sunday
.
They
gaue
me
to
vnderstand
,
that
they
would
bring
me
to
see
the
greatest
Lord
of
this
countrey
which
they
called
Chiquola
,
Iordan
.
And
now
I
remember
,
that
in
the
reigne
of
the
Emperour
Charles
the
fift
,
certaine
Spaniardes
inhabitants
of
Saint
Domingo
,
(
which
made
a
voyage
to
get
certaine
slaues
to
worke
in
their
mynes
)
stole
away
by
suttletie
the
inhabitants
of
this
riuer
,
to
the
number
of
fortie
thinking
to
carry
them
into
their
new
Spaine
.
But
they
lost
their
labour
:
for
in
despite
they
died
all
for
hunger
,
sauing
one
that
was
brought
to
the
Emperour
,
which
a
little
while
after
he
caused
to
be
baptised
,
and
gaue
him
his
owne
name
&
called
him
Charles
of
Chiquola
,
because
he
spake
so
much
of
this
Lorde
of
Chiquola
,
whose
subiect
he
was
.
Also
,
(
as
men
woorthy
credite
haue
assured
Chiquola
,
that
there
neuer
passed
anie
one
day
,
wherein
hee
did
not
discourse
of
some
rare
thing
concerning
the
same
.
After
they
had
stayed
a
while
in
our
shippes
,
they
beganne
to
be
sorie
,
and
still
demaunded
of
me
when
they
shoulde
returne
.
I
made
them
vnderstande
that
the
Captaines
will
was
to
sende
them
home
againe
,
but
that
first
he
would
bestow
apparrel
of
them
,
which
few
dayes
after
was
deliuered
vnto
them
.
But
seeing
he
would
not
giue
them
licence
to
depart
,
they
resolued
with
themselues
to
steale
away
by
night
,
and
to
get
a
little
boate
which
we
had
,
and
by
the
helpe
of
the
tide
,
to
sayle
homeward
towarde
their
dwellinges
,
and
by
this
meanes
I
thinke
there
is
none
of
you
that
is
ignoraunt
of
howe
marble
,
to
serue
for
an
example
to
men
descended
of
base
&
poore
linages
,
and
to
giue
them
occasion
to
aspire
vnto
high
things
,
not
withstanding
the
meannes
of
their
auncesters
.
I
will
not
passe
ouer
in
silence
the
excellencie
and
prowes
of
the
valiant
and
renoumed
Agathocles
the
sonne
of
a
simple
potter
,
and
yet
forgeting
the
contemptible
estate
of
his
father
,
he
so
applied
himselfe
to
vertue
in
his
tender
yeeres
,
that
by
the
fauour
of
armes
he
came
to
be
king
of
Sicilie
:
and
for
all
this
title
he
refused
not
to
be
counted
the
sonne
of
a
Potter
.
But
the
more
to
eternise
the
memorie
of
his
parents
and
to
make
his
name
renowmed
,
he
commaunded
that
he
should
be
serued
at
the
Table
in
Vessels
of
gold
and
siluer
and
others
of
earth
:
declaring
thereby
,
that
the
dignitie
wherein
he
was
placed
came
not
vnto
him
by
his
parents
,
but
by
his
owne
vertue
onely
.
If
I
shal
speak
of
our
time
,
I
will
lay
before
you
onely
Rusten
Bassha
,
which
may
be
a
sufficient
example
to
all
men
:
which
though
he
were
the
sonne
of
a
poore
heardman
,
did
so
apply
his
youth
in
all
vertue
,
that
being
brought
vp
in
the
seruice
of
the
great
Turke
he
seemed
so
to
aspire
to
great
&
high
matters
,
in
such
sorte
that
growing
in
yeeres
he
increased
also
in
courage
,
so
farre
foorth
,
that
in
fine
for
his
excellent
vertues
he
married
the
daughter
of
the
great
Turke
his
Prince
.
How
much
then
ought
so
many
worthy
examples
to
moue
you
to
plant
here
?
Considering
also
that
hereby
you
shal
be
registred
for
euer
as
the
first
that
inhabited
this
strange
countrey
.
I
pray
you
therefore
all
to
aduise
your selues
therof
▪
and
to
declare
your
minds
freely
vnto
me
,
protesting
that
I
will
so
well
imprint
your
names
in
the
kings
eares
,
and
the
other
princes
,
that
your
renowme
shall
hereafter
shyne
vnquenchable
through
our
Realme
of
Fraunce
.
He
had
scarcely
ended
his
Oration
,
but
the
greatest
part
of
our
souldiers
replyed
,
that
a
greater
pleasure
could
neuer
betide
them
,
perceiuing
well
the
acceptable
Whereupon
Iohn
Ribault
being
as
glad
as
might
be
to
see
his
men
so
well
willing
,
determined
the
nextday
to
search
the
most
fit
and
conuenient
place
to
be
inhabited
.
Wherefore
he
embarked
himselfe
very
early
in
the
morning
and
commaunded
them
to
follow
him
that
were
desirous
to
inhabite
there
,
to
the
intent
that
they
might
like
the
better
of
the
place
.
Hauing
sayled
vp
the
great
riuer
on
the
north
side
,
in
costing
an
Ile
which
endeth
with
a
sharpe
point
toward
the
mouth
of
the
riuer
,
and
hauing
sayled
a
while
,
he
discouered
a
small
riuer
,
which
entred
into
the
Ilande
,
which
hee
would
not
fayle
to
search
out
.
Which
done
,
and
finding
the
same
deepe
inough
to
harbour
therein
Gallies
and
Galliots
in
good
number
,
proceeding
further
,
hee
found
a
very
open
place
,
ioyning
vpon
the
brinke
thereof
,
where
he
went
on
land
,
and
seeing
the
place
fit
to
builde
a
fortresse
in
,
and
commodious
for
them
that
were
willing
to
plant
there
,
he
resolued
incontinent
to
cause
the
bignes
of
the
fortification
to
be
measured
out
.
And
considering
that
there
stayed
but
sixe
Salles
,
we
sent
vnto
the
Shippes
for
men
,
and
to
bring
Shouels
,
Pickaxes
and
other
instruments
necessary
to
make
the
fortification
.
We
traueiled
so
diligently
that
Iohn
Ribault
caused
victualles
and
warrelike
munition
to
be
brought
for
the
defence
of
the
place
.
After
he
had
furnished
them
with
all
such
thinges
as
they
had
neede
of
,
he
determined
to
take
his
leaue
of
them
.
But
before
his
departure
Albert
,
which
hee
lefte
in
this
place
:
Captayne
Albert
,
I
haue
to
request
you
in
the
presence
of
all
men
,
that
you
would
quite
your selfe
so
wisely
in
your
charge
,
and
gouerne
so
modestly
your
small
company
which
I
leaue
you
,
which
with
so
good
cheere
remayneth
vnder
your
obedience
,
that
I
neuer
haue
occasion
but
to
commend
you
,
and
to
recount
vnto
the
king
,
as
I
am
desirous
,
the
faithfull
seruice
Hauing
cnded
his
exhortation
wee
tooke
our
leaues
of
eche
of
them
,
and
sayled
towarde
our
Sippcs
,
calling
the
Forte
by
the
name
of
Charles
and
the
Riuer
by
the
name
of
Chenonceau
.
The
next
day
wee
determined
to
depart
from
this
place
being
as
well
contented
as
was
possible
that
wee
had
so
happily
ended
our
businesse
,
with
good
hope
,
if
occasion
would
permitte
,
to
discouer
perfectely
the
Riuer
of
Iordan
.
For
this
cause
we
hoysed
our
sayles
about
ten
of
the
clocke
in
the
morning
:
after
wee
were
ready
to
depart
Captaine
Ribault
commaunded
to
shoote
of
our
Ordinance
to
giue
a
farewell
vnto
our
Frenchmen
,
which
fayled
not
to
doe
the
like
on
their
parte
.
This
being
done
wee
sayled
towarde
the
North
:
and
then
wee
named
this
Riuer
Porte
because
of
the
largenesse
&
excellent
fayrenesse
of
the
same
.
After
that
wee
had
sayled
about
fifteene
leagues
from
thence
wee
espied
a
Riuer
,
wherevppon
we
sent
our
Piunesse
thether
to
discouer
it
.
At
their
returne
they
brought
vs
word
that
they
found
not
past
halfe
a
fathome
water
in
the
mouth
thereof
.
Iohn
Ribault
bethought
with
himselfe
,
whether
it
were
best
for
him
to
passe
any
farther
,
because
of
the
eminent
daungers
which
euery
houre
wee
sawe
before
our
eyes
:
or
whether
hee
should
content
himselfe
with
that
which
hee
had
certaynely
discouered
,
and
also
left
men
to
inhabite
the
Countrey
.
Being
not
able
for
that
time
to
resolue
with
himselfe
,
he
referred
it
ouer
vntill
the
next
day
.
The
morning
being
come
he
proposed
to
all
the
company
what
was
best
to
bee
done
,
to
the
end
that
with
good
aduisement
euery
man
might
deliuer
his
opinion
.
Some
made
aunsweare
,
that
according
to
their
iudgement
hee
had
occasion
fully
to
content
himselfe
,
considering
that
hee
cold
doe
no
more
:
laying
before
his
eyes
,
that
he
had
discouered
more
in
sixe
weekes
,
then
the
Spaniardes
had
done
in
two
yeeres
in
the
conquestes
of
their
new
Spaine
:
and
that
he
should
doe
the
king
very
great
seruice
,
if
he
did
bring
him
newes
in
so
short
a
time
of
his
happie
discouerie
.
Other
shewed
vnto
him
the
losse
&
spoyle
of
his
victualles
,
and
on
the
other
side
the
inconuenience
that
might
happen
by
the
shallow
water
that
they
found
continually
along
the
cost
.
which
things
being
well
and
at
large
debated
,
we
resolued
to
leaue
the
cost
,
forsaking
the
North
,
to
take
our
way
toward
the
Easte
,
which
is
the
right
way
and
course
for
our
Fraunce
,
where
The
state
and
condition
of
those
which
were
left
behinde
in
Charles
Forte
.
OUr
men
after
our
departure
neuer
rested
,
but
night
and
day
did
fortifie
themselues
,
being
in
good
hope
that
after
their
fort
was
finished
,
they
would
beginne
to
discouer
farther
vp
within
the
Riuer
.
It
happened
one
day
,
as
certayne
of
them
were
in
cutting
of
rootes
in
the
Coppises
,
that
they
espyed
on
the
sodayne
an
Indian
that
hu●ted
the
Deere
,
which
finding
himselfe
so
neere
vpon
them
,
was
much
dismayed
,
but
our
men
began
to
draw
neere
vnto
him
and
to
vse
him
so
courteously
,
that
he
became
assured
and
followed
them
to
Charles
Fort
,
where
euery
man
sought
to
do
him
pleasure
.
Captayne
Albert
was
very
ioyfull
of
his
comming
,
which
after
he
had
giuen
him
a
shert
and
some
other
trifles
,
hee
asked
him
of
his
dwelliug
:
the
Indian
answered
him
that
it
was
farther
vp
within
Audusta
:
he
also
shewed
him
with
his
hand
the
limites
of
his
habitation
.
After
much
other
talke
the
Indian
desired
leaue
to
departe
,
because
it
drewe
toward
night
,
which
Captayne
Albert
graunted
him
very
willingly
.
Certayne
dayes
after
the
Captayne
determined
to
sayle
toward
Audusta
,
where
being
ariued
,
by
reason
of
the
honest
intertaynment
Indian
,
he
was
so
courteously
receiued
,
that
the
king
talked
with
him
of
nothing
else
,
but
of
the
desire
which
he
had
to
become
his
friend
:
giuing
him
besides
to
vnderstand
that
he
being
his
friend
and
allie
,
he
should
haue
the
amitie
of
foure
other
kings
,
which
in
might
and
authoritie
were
able
to
doe
much
for
his
sake
:
Besides
all
this
,
in
his
necessitie
they
might
be
able
to
succour
him
with
victualles
:
One
of
these
kings
was
called
Mayon
,
another
Hoya
,
the
third
Touppa
,
and
the
fourth
Stalame
.
He
tolde
him
moreouer
,
that
they
woulde
bee
very
glad
,
when
they
shoulde
vnderstand
the
newes
of
his
comming
,
and
therefore
he
prayed
him
to
vouchsafe
to
visit
them
.
The
Captayne
willingly
consented
vnto
him
for
the
desire
that
he
had
to
purchase
friendes
in
that
place
.
Therefore
they
departed
the
next
day
very
early
in
the
morning
,
and
first
ariued
at
the
house
of
king
Touppa
,
and
afterward
went
vnto
the
other
kings
houses
,
except
the
house
of
king
Stalame
.
He
receiued
of
eche
of
them
all
the
amiable
curtesies
that
might
be
:
they
shewed
themselues
to
be
as
affectioned
friendes
vnto
him
as
was
possible
,
and
offered
vnto
him
a
thousand
small
presents
.
After
that
he
had
remained
by
the
space
of
certayne
dayes
with
these
strange
kinges
,
he
determined
to
take
his
leaue
,
and
being
come
back
to
the
house
of
Audusta
,
he
commaunded
al
his
men
to
goe
abord
of
their
Pinnesse
:
for
he
was
minded
to
goe
toward
the
countries
of
king
Stalame
,
which
dwelt
Charles
Fort.
Therefore
as
they
sayled
vp
the
riuer
they
entred
into
a
great
Courrant
,
which
they
followed
so
far
till
they
came
at
the
last
to
the
house
of
Stalame
:
which
brought
him
into
his
lodging
,
where
he
sought
to
make
them
the
best
cheere
he
colde
deuise
.
He
presented
immediately
vnto
Captayne
Albert
his
bow
&
arrowes
,
which
is
a
signe
and
confirmation
of
aliance
betweene
Charles
Fort
,
where
hee
ariued
the
day
following
.
By
this
time
the
friendship
was
growne
so
great
between
our
men
&
king
Audusta
,
that
in
a
maner
all
things
were
commen
betweene
him
&
them
:
in
such
sorte
that
this
good
Indian
king
did
nothing
of
importance
,
but
he
called
our
men
thereunto
.
For
when
the
time
drew
neere
of
the
celebrating
their
feastes
of
Toya
,
which
are
ceremonies
most
strange
to
recite
,
hee
sent
Toya
:
whereunto
when
they
were
come
they
sette
themselues
in
order
,
and
followed
three
Indians
,
which
in
painting
and
in
gesture
were
differing
from
the
rest
:
ech
of
them
bare
a
Tabret
in
their
hand
,
daunsing
and
singing
in
a
lameutable
tune
when
they
began
to
enter
into
the
middest
of
the
rounde
circuit
,
being
followed
of
others
which
answered
them
agayne
.
After
that
they
had
song
,
daunsed
,
and
turned
three
times
,
they
fell
on
running
like
vnbridled
horses
,
through
the
middest
of
the
thickest
woods
.
And
then
the
Indian
women
continued
all
the
rest
of
the
day
in
teares
as
sad
and
wofull
as
was
possible
:
and
in
such
a
rage
they
cut
the
armes
of
the
yonge
gerles
,
which
they
lanced
crutlly
with
sharpe
shelles
of
muskels
,
that
the
blood
followed
,
which
they
flang
into
the
ayre
,
crying
out
three
times
,
He
Toya
.
The
king
Audusta
had
gathered
all
our
men
into
his
house
,
while
the
feast
was
celebrated
,
and
was
exceedingly
offended
when
he
saw
them
laugh
.
This
he
did
because
the
Indians
are
very
angry
when
they
are
seene
in
their
ceremonies
.
Notwithstanding
one
of
our
men
made
such
shifte
that
by
subtile
meanes
hee
gatte
out
of
the
house
of
Audusta
,
and
secretly
went
and
hid
himselfe
behinde
a
very
thicke
bush
,
where
at
his
pleasure
,
he
might
easily
discry
the
ceremonies
of
the
feast
.
They
three
that
began
the
feast
are
named
Iawas
:
and
they
are
as
it
were
three
Priestes
of
the
Indian
lawe
:
to
whome
they
giue
credite
and
beliefe
,
partely
because
Toya
,
and
that
by
Magicall
Characters
they
had
made
him
come
that
they
might
speake
with
him
and
demaund
diuers
strange
thinges
of
him
,
which
for
feare
of
the
Iawas
hee
durst
not
vtter
.
They
haue
also
many
other
ceremonies
,
which
I
will
not
here
rehearse
for
feare
of
molesting
the
reader
with
a
matter
of
so
small
importance
.
When
the
feast
therefore
was
finished
our
men
returned
vnto
Charles
Forte
:
where
hauing
remayned
but
a
Couexis
,
which
in
Mill
,
Beanes
,
and
corne
was
no
lesse
welthy
,
and
withall
is
very
liberall
,
and
which
would
bee
very
ioyfull
if
hee
might
but
once
see
them
.
Our
men
perceauing
the
good
relation
which
the
Indians
made
them
of
those
two
kings
resolued
to
goe
thither
;
for
they
felt
already
the
necessitie
which
oppressed
them
.
Therefore
they
made
request
vnto
king
Maccou
,
that
it
would
please
him
to
giue
them
one
of
his
subiectes
to
guide
them
the
right
way
thither
:
Ouade
,
which
they
founde
to
bee
in
the
Riuer
Belle.
Being
Charlesfort
,
which
from
this
place
might
be
some
fiue
and
Nilus
:
moreouer
,
all
along
the
bankes
thereof
,
there
growe
mighty
high
Cypresses
.
After
they
had
stayed
a
small
while
in
this
Ouadé
,
of
whom
they
were
most
curteously
receyued
.
Couexis
,
to
request
him
vppon
his
behalfe
to
sende
him
some
of
his
mill
and
beanes
:
which
thing
he
did
:
and
the
next
day
early
in
the
morning
,
they
were
come
againe
with
victualles
,
which
the
king
caused
to
be
borne
into
their
Canoa
.
Our
men
would
haue
taken
their
leaue
of
him
finding
themselues
more
than
satisfied
with
this
liberalitie
.
But
for
that
day
he
woulde
not
suffer
them
,
but
retayned
them
,
and
sought
to
make
them
the
best
cheere
he
coulde
deuise
.
The
next
day
very
early
in
the
morning
,
hee
tooke
them
with
him
to
shewe
them
the
place
where
his
corne
grewe
,
and
saide
vnto
them
that
they
shoulde
not
want
as
long
as
all
that
mill
did
last
.
Afterwarde
he
gaue
them
a
certaine
number
of
exceeding
faire
pearles
,
and
two
stones
of
fine
Guernache
,
which
was
a
drūmer
La
chere
,
(
which
he
had
banished
)
and
because
he
had
not
performed
his
promise
:
for
he
had
promised
to
send
him
victuals
from
eight
dayes
to
eight
daies
,
which
thing
he
did
not
,
but
saide
on
the
contrarie
,
that
he
would
be
glad
to
heare
of
his
death
.
He
said
moreouer
that
hee
woulde
chastice
others
also
,
and
vsed
so
euill
sounding
speeches
,
that
honesty
forbiddeth
me
to
repeate
them
.
The
souldiers
seeing
his
madnes
to
increase
from
day
to
day
,
and
fearing
to
fall
Nicolas
a
man
worthy
of
commendation
,
and
one
which
knew
so
well
to
quite
himselfe
of
his
charge
,
that
all
rancour
and
dissention
ceassed
among
them
,
and
they
liued
peaceably
one
with
another
,
During
this
time
,
they
beganne
to
builde
a
small
Pinnesse
,
with
hope
to
returne
into
Fraunce
,
if
no
succours
came
vnto
them
as
they
expected
from
day
to
day
.
And
though
there
were
not
a
man
among
them
that
had
any
skill
,
notwithstanding
necessitie
,
which
is
the
maistresse
of
all
sciences
,
taught
them
the
wayes
to
builde
it
.
After
La
Chere
,
Florida
,
who
easily
knewe
them
,
and
spake
vnto
them
,
&
afterward
gaue
them
meat
and
drink
.
Incontinently
they
recouered
their
naturall
courages
,
&
declared
vnto
him
at
large
al
their
nauigation
.
The
English
men
consulted
a
long
while
what
were
best
to
be
done
:
and
in
fine
they
resolued
to
put
on
land
those
that
were
most
feeble
,
and
to
carry
the
rest
vnto
the
Queene
of
Englande
,
which
purposed
at
that
time
to
sende
into
Florida
.
Thus
you
see
in
briefe
that
which
happened
vnto
them
which
Captaine
Iohn
Ribault
had
left
in
Florida
▪
And
nowe
will
I
goe
forwarde
with
the
discourse
of
mine
owne
voyage
.
The
ende
of
the
first
voyage
of
Iohn
Ribault
into
Florida
.
¶
The
second
voyage
vnto
Florida
,
made
and
written
by
Captaine
Laudonniere
,
which
fortified
and
inhabited
there
two
Sommers
and
one
whole
Winter
.
AFter
our
arriuall
at
Diepe
,
at
our
comming
home
,
from
our
first
voyage
(
which
was
the
twentieth
of
Iuly
a
thousand
fiue
hundred
sixtie
and
one
)
wee
Iohn
Ribault
had
promised
them
:
whereof
it
followed
that
Captaine
Albert
was
killed
by
his
souldiers
,
&
the
countrey
abandoned
,
as
heretofore
we
haue
sufficiently
discoursed
,
&
as
it
may
more
at
large
bee
vnderstood
by
those
men
which
were
there
in
person
.
After
the
peace
was
made
in
Fraunce
,
my
Lord
Admiral
de
Chastillon
,
shewed
vnto
the
king
,
that
he
heard
no
newes
at
all
of
the
men
which
Captaine
Iohn
Ribault
had
left
in
Florida
,
&
that
it
were
pity
to
suffer
them
to
perish
.
In
which
respect
the
king
was
content
he
should
cause
three
ships
to
be
furnished
,
the
one
of
sixe
score
tuns
,
the
other
of
a
100.
and
the
third
of
60.
to
seeke
them
out
,
and
to
succour
them
.
My
Lorde
Admirall
therefore
,
being
well
informed
of
the
faithful
seruice
which
I
had
done
,
aswel
vnto
his
maiesty
as
to
his
predecessors
kings
of
Fraunce
,
aduertised
the
king
how
able
I
was
to
do
him
seruice
in
this
voyage
,
which
was
the
cause
that
he
made
me
chief
captain
ouer
these
3
▪
ships
,
&
charged
me
to
depart
with
diligence
to
perform
his
commandement
,
which
for
mine
own
part
I
would
not
gainsay
,
but
rather
thinking
my self
happy
to
haue
beene
chosen
out
among
such
an
infinit
number
of
others
,
which
in
my
iudgment
new
hauen
the
22.
of
April
1564.
&
sayled
so
,
that
we
fel
neere
vnto
the
coast
of
England
:
And
then
I
turned
towards
the
South
,
to
sayle
directly
to
the
fortunate
Ilands
,
at
this
present
called
the
Canaries
,
one
of
which
called
the
Ile
Sauage
(
because
as
I
thinke
it
is
altogether
without
inhabitantes
)
was
the
first
that
Teneriffe
,
otherwise
called
the
Pike
,
because
that
in
the
middest
thereof
there
is
an
exceeding
high
mountaine
,
neere
as
high
as
that
of
Etna
,
which
riseth
vp
right
like
a
pike
,
into
the
top
wherof
no
man
can
go
vp
but
from
the
middest
of
May
vntill
the
middest
of
August
,
by
reason
of
the
ouer
great
colde
which
is
there
all
the
rest
of
the
yeere
:
which
is
a
woonderfull
strange
thing
,
considering
that
it
is
not
past
seuen
and
twentie
degrees
and
a
halfe
distaunt
from
the
Equator
.
We
sawe
it
all
couered
ouer
with
snowe
,
although
it
were
then
but
the
fifte
of
May
.
The
inhabitantes
in
this
Isle
being
heretofore
pursued
by
the
Spaniardes
,
retired
themselues
into
this
mountaine
,
where
for
a
space
they
made
warre
with
them
,
and
woulde
not
submit
themselues
vnto
their
obedience
,
neither
by
foule
nor
faire
meanes
,
they
disdayned
so
much
the
losse
of
their
Iland
.
For
those
which
went
thither
on
the
Spaniards
behalfe
,
left
their
carkases
there
,
so
that
not
so
much
as
one
of
them
returned
home
to
bring
newes
.
Notwithstanding
in
the
end
,
the
inhabitants
,
not
able
to
liue
in
that
place
according
to
their
nature
,
or
for
want
of
suche
thinges
,
as
were
necessarie
for
the
commoditie
of
their
liuelihoode
,
did
all
die
there
.
After
I
had
furnished
my selfe
with
some
freshe
water
,
very
good
and
excellent
,
which
sprang
out
of
a
rocke
at
the
fo●t
of
this
mountayne
,
I
continued
my
course
towarde
the
West
,
wherein
the
windes
fauoured
me
so
well
,
that
fifteene
dayes
after
our
shippes
arriued
safe
and
sounde
at
the
Antilles
:
and
going
on
land
at
the
Isle
of
Martinica
one
of
the
first
of
them
,
the
next
day
wee
arriued
Dominica
,
twelue
leagues
distant
from
the
former
.
Dominica
is
one
of
the
fairest
Ilandes
of
the
West
,
full
of
hilles
,
and
of
very
good
smell
.
Whose
singularities
desiring
to
know
as
we
passed
by
,
&
seeking
also
to
refresh
our selues
with
fresh
water
I
made
the
mariners
cast
anker
,
after
we
had
sayled
about
half
a
long
the
cost
therof
.
As
soone
as
wee
had
cast
Anker
,
two
Indians
inhabitantes
of
that
place
sayled
toward
vs
in
two
Canoaes
full
of
a
fruit
of
great
excellencie
which
they
call
Ananas
.
As
they
approched
vnto
our
Canoa
,
wherein
they
caught
the
poore
Indian
&
brought
him
vnto
me
.
But
the
poore
fellow
became
so
astonied
in
beholding
vs
,
that
he
knew
not
which
way
to
behaue
himselfe
,
because
that
(
as
afterward
I
vnderstood
)
hee
feared
that
he
was
fallen
into
the
Spaniard
hands
,
of
whom
he
had
beene
taken
once
before
,
and
which
,
as
he
shewed
vs
,
had
cut
of
his
stones
.
At
length
this
poore
Indian
was
assured
of
vs
,
and
discoursed
vnto
vs
of
many
things
,
wherof
we
receaued
very
smal
pleasure
,
because
we
vnderderstood
not
his
mind
but
by
his
signes
.
Then
he
desired
me
to
giue
him
leaue
to
depart
,
&
promised
me
that
he
would
bring
me
a
thousand
presents
,
whereunto
I
agreed
on
condition
that
hee
would
haue
patience
vntill
the
next
day
when
I
purposed
to
goe
on
land
,
where
I
suffered
him
to
depart
after
I
had
giuen
him
a
shirte
,
and
certain
small
trifles
,
wherewith
he
departed
very
well
content
with
vs
.
The
place
where
we
went
on
shore
was
hard
by
a
very
hie
Rocke
out
of
which
there
ran
a
litle
riuer
of
sweet
and
excellent
good
water
:
by
which
riuer
we
stayed
certayne
dayes
to
discouer
the
things
which
were
worthy
to
bee
seen
,
&
traficked
dayly
with
the
Indians
:
which
aboue
all
thinges
besought
vs
that
none
of
our
men
should
come
neere
their
lodgings
nor
their
Gardens
,
otherwise
that
we
should
giue
them
great
cause
of
ielosie
,
and
that
in
so
doing
wee
should
not
want
of
their
fruit
which
they
call
Ananas
,
whereof
they
offered
vs
very
liberally
,
receiuing
in
recompence
certaine
things
of
small
value
.
This
notwithstanding
it
hapned
on
a
day
that
certaine
of
my
men
,
desirous
to
see
some
new
things
in
these
strange
countries
,
walked
through
the
woods
:
and
following
still
the
little
riuers
side
,
they
espied
two
Serpents
of
exceeding
bignesse
,
which
went
side
by
side
ouerthwarte
the
way
my
soldiers
went
before
them
,
thinking
to
let
them
from
going
into
the
woods
:
but
the
serpents
nothing
at
all
astonished
with
these
gestures
glaunced
into
the
bushes
with
fearefull
hissings
,
for
all
which
my
men
drewe
their
swordes
and
killed
them
,
and
found
them
afterward
nine
great
foote
long
,
and
as
bigge
as
a
mans
legge
.
During
this
combate
,
certaine
others
more
vndiscreete
went
and
gathered
their
Ananas
in
the
Indians
Gardens
,
trampling
through
them
without
any
discretion
:
and
n●t
therewithall
contented
they
went
toward
their
dwellings
,
whereat
the
Indians
were
so
much
offended
,
that
without
regarding
any
thing
they
rushed
vpon
them
and
discharged
their
shot
so
that
they
hit
one
of
my
men
named
Martin
Chaueau
,
which
remayned
behinde
.
Wee
coulde
not
knowe
whether
hee
were
killed
on
the
place
,
or
whether
he
were
taken
prisoner
:
for
those
of
his
company
had
inough
to
doe
to
saue
themselues
without
thinking
of
their
companion
.
Whereof
Monsur
de
Ottigni
my
Lieuetenant
being
aduertised
,
sent
vnto
me
to
know
whether
I
thought
good
that
he
shuld
lay
an
ambush
for
the
Indians
which
had
either
taken
or
killed
our
man
,
or
whether
hee
should
goe
directly
to
their
dwellinges
to
knowe
the
truth
.
I
sent
vnto
him
,
after
good
delebration
hereupon
,
that
hee
should
not
attempt
any
thing
and
that
for
diuers
occasions
:
but
contrariwise
that
he
should
embarke
himself
with
all
diligence
,
and
consequently
all
they
that
were
on
land
:
which
hee
did
with
speede
.
But
as
he
sayled
toward
our
shippes
he
perceiued
a
long
the
shore
a
great
number
of
Indians
which
beganne
to
charge
them
with
their
Arrowes
:
he
for
his
part
discharged
store
of
shotte
against
them
,
yet
was
not
able
to
hurte
them
,
or
by
any
meanes
to
surprise
them
:
for
which
cause
he
quite
forsooke
them
,
&
came
vnto
our
ship
.
Where
staying
vntill
the
next
day
morning
we
sette
sayle
following
our
wonted
course
,
and
keeping
the
same
,
we
discouered
diuerse
Iles
conquered
by
the
Spaniards
,
as
the
Iles
of
S.
Christopher
,
&
of
the
Saintes
,
of
Monserrada
,
and
la
Rotonda
:
Afterward
we
passed
betweene
Languilla
aad
la
Negada
,
sayling
toward
New
Fraunce
,
Equator
,
and
ten
leagues
aboue
Cape
drawing
toward
the
South
,
and
about
thirtie
leagues
aboue
the
Riuer
of
May
.
After
we
had
strooken
sayle
and
cast
Anker
athwart
the
Riuer
,
I
determined
to
goe
on
shore
to
discouer
the
same
.
Therefore
beiug
accompanied
with
Monsur
de
Ottigny
,
with
Monsur
de
Arlac
mine
Ensigne
,
&
a
certaine
number
of
Gentlemen
and
souldiers
I
embarked
my selfe
about
three
or
foure
of
the
clocke
in
the
euening
.
And
being
ariued
at
the
mouth
of
the
Riuer
I
caused
the
Chanell
to
be
sounded
,
which
was
found
to
be
very
shallow
,
although
that
farther
within
the
same
the
water
was
there
found
reasonable
deepe
,
which
separateth
it selfe
into
two
great
armes
,
whereof
one
runneth
toward
the
South
and
the
other
toward
the
North.
Hauing
thus
searched
the
Riuer
I
went
on
lande
to
speake
with
the
Indians
which
wayted
for
vs
vpon
the
shore
which
at
our
comming
on
land
,
came
before
vs
,
crying
with
a
loud
voyce
in
their
Indian
language
,
Antipola
,
Bonassou
,
which
is
as
much
to
say
,
as
,
brother
,
friend
,
or
some
such
like
thing
.
After
they
had
made
very
much
of
vs
,
they
shewed
vs
their
Paracoussy
,
that
is
to
say
,
their
king
and
gouernour
,
to
whom
I
presented
certaine
toyes
wherewith
he
was
wel
pleased
.
And
for
mine
own
part
I
praise
God
continually
,
for
the
great
loue
which
I
haue
found
in
Dolphines
,
because
that
at
mine
arriuall
,
I
sawe
there
a
greate
number
of
dolphines
which
were
playing
in
the
mouth
thereof
.
The
next
day
the
three
and
twentieth
of
this
moneth
(
because
that
toward
the
South
I
had
not
found
any
commodious
place
for
vs
to
inhabite
,
and
to
build
a
fort
)
I
gaue
commaundement
to
weigh
anker
,
Maye
,
where
we
arriued
two
dayes
after
,
and
cast
anker
,
afterwarde
going
on
land
,
with
some
number
of
Gentlemen
and
Souldiers
to
knowe
for
a
certaintie
the
singularities
of
this
place
,
wee
espyed
the
Paracoussy
of
the
countrey
,
which
came
towards
vs
(
this
was
the
very
same
that
we
saw
in
the
voiage
of
Captaine
Iohu
Ribault
)
which
hauing
espied
vs
,
cried
very
farre
of
,
Antipola
,
Antipola
,
and
being
so
ioyful
that
he
could
not
containe
himselfe
,
he
came
to
meet
vs
accompanied
then
with
two
of
his
sonnes
,
as
faire
&
mighty
persons
as
might
be
found
in
all
the
world
,
which
had
nothing
in
their
mouthes
but
this
word
,
Amy
,
Amy
:
that
is
to
say
,
friend
,
friend
:
yea
and
knowing
those
which
were
there
in
the
first
voyage
,
they
went
principally
to
them
to
vse
this
speech
vnto
them
.
There
was
in
their
trayne
a
great
number
of
men
and
women
,
which
still
made
very
much
of
vs
,
and
by
euident
signes
made
vs
to
vnderstand
how
glad
they
were
of
our
ariual
.
This
good
entertainment
past
,
the
Paracoussy
prayed
me
to
go
to
see
the
piller
which
we
had
erected
in
the
voyage
of
Iohn
Ribault
(
as
we
haue
declared
heretofore
)
as
a
thing
which
they
made
great
account
of
.
Hauing
yeelded
vnto
him
and
being
come
to
the
place
where
it
was
set
vp
we
found
the
same
crowned
with
crownes
of
Bay
,
&
at
the
foote
therof
many
Tapaga
Tapola
.
Then
when
they
came
thither
they
kissed
the
same
with
great
reuerence
&
besought
vs
to
do
the
like
,
which
we
would
not
deny
them
,
to
the
end
we
might
draw
them
to
be
more
in
frendship
with
vs
.
This
done
the
Paracoussy
tooke
me
by
the
hand
,
as
if
he
had
desire
to
make
me
vnderstand
some
great
secrete
,
and
by
signes
shewed
me
very
well
vp
within
the
riuer
the
limits
of
his
dominion
,
&
said
that
he
was
called
Paracussy
Satorioua
,
which
is
as
much
as
king
Satourioua
.
His
children
haue
the
selfe
same
title
of
Paracoussy
▪
The
eldest
is
named
Athore
,
a
man
,
I
dare
say
,
perfect
in
beautie
,
wisdom
,
and
honest
sobrietie
,
shewing
by
his
modest
grauitie
that
he
deserueth
the
name
which
he
beareth
besides
that
he
is
gentle
and
tractable
.
After
we
we
had
soiourned
a
certayne
space
with
them
,
the
Paracoussy
prayed
one
of
his
sonnes
to
present
vnto
me
a
wedge
of
May
,
which
of
purpose
wayted
for
vs
in
the
same
place
,
where
the
day
before
we
conferred
with
him
.
We
found
him
vnder
the
shadow
of
an
Arbour
accompanied
with
fourescore
Indians
at
the
least
,
and
apparelled
at
that
time
after
the
Indian
fashion
,
to
witte
,
with
a
great
Hartes
skin
dressed
like
Chamoys
and
painted
with
deuises
of
strang
and
diuers
colours
,
but
of
so
liuely
a
portrature
and
representing
antiquitie
with
rules
so
iustly
compassed
,
that
there
is
no
painter
so
exquisite
that
could
finde
fault
therewith
:
the
naturall
disposition
of
this
straunge
people
is
so
perfect
and
well
guided
,
that
without
any
ayde
and
fauour
of
artes
,
they
are
able
by
the
helpe
of
nature
onelie
to
content
the
eye
of
artizans
,
yea
euen
of
those
which
by
their
industrie
are
able
to
aspire
vnto
thinges
most
absolute
.
Then
I
aduertised
Paracoussy
Satourioua
,
that
my
desire
was
to
discouer
farther
vp
into
the
riuer
,
but
that
this
shoulde
bee
with
such
diligence
that
I
would
come
againe
vnto
him
very
speedily
:
wherwith
he
was
content
,
promising
to
stay
for
me
in
the
place
where
hee
was
:
and
for
an
earnest
of
his
promise
,
he
offered
me
his
goodly
skinne
,
which
I
refused
then
,
and
promised
to
receiue
it
of
him
at
my
returne
.
For
my
part
I
gaue
him
certaine
small
trifles
,
to
the
intent
,
to
retayne
him
in
our
frendship
.
Departing
from
thence
,
I
had
not
sayled
three
leagues
vp
the
riuer
,
stil
being
followed
by
the
Indians
,
which
costed
me
along
the
riuer
,
crying
still
,
Amy
,
Amy
,
that
is
to
say
,
friend
,
friend
:
but
I
discouered
an
hill
of
meane
height
,
neere
which
I
went
on
land
,
hard
by
the
fields
that
were
sowed
with
mil
,
at
one
corner
whereof
there
was
an
house
builte
for
their
lodging
,
which
keepe
and
garde
the
mill
:
for
there
are
such
numbers
of
Cornishe
De
▪
Otignie
and
Antipola
Bonassou
,
to
the
end
that
vnderstanding
their
speech
,
they
might
come
vnto
vs
more
boldly
,
which
they
did
incontinently
,
But
because
they
sawe
,
that
the
foure
that
went
last
bare
vp
the
traine
of
the
skin
wherewith
hee
that
went
foremost
was
apparelled
,
our
men
imagined
that
the
foremost
must
needs
be
some
man
of
greater
qualitie
then
the
rest
,
seeing
that
withall
they
called
him
Paracoussy
,
Paracoussy
,
wherefore
some
of
our
companie
went
towardes
him
,
and
vsing
him
courteouslie
shewed
him
Monsur
De
Ottigny
their
lieuetenant
,
for
whom
they
had
made
an
arbour
with
Bay
and
Palme
boughes
after
the
Indian
fashion
,
to
the
end
that
by
such
signes
the
sauages
might
think
that
the
Frenchmen
had
companied
Ottigni
,
the
very
skinne
,
that
he
was
clad
withall
.
Then
he
tooke
him
by
the
hande
,
leading
him
right
toward
the
marishes
,
ouer
which
the
Paracoussy
,
Monsieur
Ottigni
,
and
certaine
other
of
our
men
were
borne
vpon
the
Indians
shoulders
:
and
the
rest
which
could
not
passe
because
of
the
mire
and
reedes
,
went
through
the
woods
,
and
followed
stil
a
narrow
path
which
led
them
forth
vntil
they
came
vnto
the
Paracoussyes
dwelling
:
out
of
which
there
came
about
fiftie
Indians
to
receiue
our
men
gallantly
,
and
to
feast
them
after
their
manner
.
After
which
they
brought
at
their
entraunce
a
great
vessell
of
earth
,
made
after
a
strange
fashion
full
of
fountaine
water
cleere
and
very
excellent
.
This
vessel
was
borne
by
an
Indian
,
and
there
was
another
younger
which
bare
of
this
water
in
another
little
vessell
of
wood
,
and
presented
thereof
to
euery
one
to
drinke
,
obseruing
in
doing
the
same
,
a
certaine
order
and
reuerence
,
which
hee
made
to
each
of
them
,
to
whom
he
gaue
drinke
.
Our
thirst
well
quenched
by
this
meane
,
and
our
men
being
sufficiently
refreshed
,
the
Paracoussy
brought
them
to
his
fathers
lodging
,
one
of
the
oldest
men
that
liued
on
the
earth
.
Our
men
regarding
his
age
,
began
to
make
much
of
him
,
vsing
this
speech
,
Amy
,
Amy
,
that
is
to
say
,
friend
,
friende
,
whereat
the
old
fier
shewed
himselfe
very
glad
.
Afterwarde
they
questioned
with
him
concerning
the
course
of
his
age
,
whervnto
he
made
answeare
,
shewing
that
he
was
the
first
liuing
originall
,
from
whence
5.
generations
were
descended
,
as
he
shewed
vnto
them
by
another
old
man
that
sate
directly
ouer
against
him
,
which
far
exceeded
him
in
age
.
And
this
man
was
his
father
,
which
seemed
to
be
rather
a
dead
carcasse
then
a
liuing
body
.
For
he
had
his
sinewes
,
his
veins
his
artiers
,
his
bones
,
and
other
parts
,
appearing
so
cleerely
thorow
his
skin
,
that
a
man
might
easely
tel
them
,
&
discern
them
one
from
another
.
Also
his
age
was
so
great
,
that
the
good
man
had
lost
his
sight
,
&
could
not
speak
one
onely
word
but
with
exceeding
great
paine
.
Monsieur
de
Ottigni
hauing
seen
so
strange
a
thing
,
turned
to
the
younger
of
these
2.
old
men
,
praying
him
to
vouchsafe
to
answere
him
to
that
which
he
demanded
touching
his
age
.
Then
the
old
man
called
a
company
of
Indians
,
and
striking
twise
vpon
his
thigh
,
and
laying
his
hande
vpon
two
of
them
,
he
shewed
him
by
signes
,
that
these
two
were
his
sons
:
againe
smiting
vpon
their
thighes
,
he
shewed
him
of
others
not
so
old
,
which
were
that
children
of
the
2.
first
,
which
he
continued
in
the
same
manner
vntil
the
fifte
generation
.
But
though
this
old
man
had
his
father
aliue
more
old
than
himselfe
,
and
that
both
of
them
did
weare
their
haire
very
long
and
as
white
as
was
possible
:
yet
it
was
tolde
them
,
that
they
might
yet
liue
thirtie
or
fortie
yeeres
more
by
the
course
of
nature
:
although
the
younger
of
them
both
was
not
lesse
then
two
hundred
and
fiftie
yeeres
olde
.
After
Thimogoua
,
their
most
auncient
and
n●turall
Thimogoua
,
I
vnderstood
what
hee
would
saye
.
And
to
bring
my selfe
more
into
his
fauour
I
promised
him
to
accompany
him
with
all
my
force
,
if
he
would
fight
against
them
:
which
thing
pleased
him
in
such
sorte
that
from
thence
foorth
,
he
promised
himselfe
the
victorie
of
them
,
and
assured
me
that
he
would
make
a
voyage
thither
within
a
short
space
,
would
cause
store
of
Mill
to
be
prepared
,
and
would
commaund
his
men
to
make
ready
their
bowes
,
and
furnish
themselues
with
such
store
of
arrowes
,
that
nothing
should
be
wanting
to
giue
battayle
to
Thimogoua
.
In
fine
he
prayed
me
very
earnestly
not
to
fayle
of
my
promise
,
and
in
so
doing
,
hee
hoped
to
procure
me
gold
and
siluer
in
such
good
quantitie
that
my
affayres
should
take
effecte
according
to
mine
own
and
his
desire
.
The
matter
thus
fully
resolued
vpon
,
I
tooke
my
leaue
of
him
to
returne
vnto
my
ships
,
where
after
we
had
rested
our selues
all
the
night
following
we
hoysed
sayles
the
next
day
very
early
in
the
morning
,
and
sayled
toward
the
Riuer
of
Seine
,
distant
from
the
Riuer
of
Some
,
which
is
not
past
sixe
leagues
distant
from
the
Riuer
of
Seine
:
where
we
cast
Anker
,
and
went
on
shore
to
discouer
that
place
,
as
we
had
done
the
rest
.
There
Iohn
Ribault
in
our
first
voyage
,
which
is
a
signe
of
perpetuall
amitie
and
aliance
with
those
which
they
honour
with
such
a
kinde
of
present
.
In
our
discoursing
with
one
another
wee
entred
into
speech
as
touching
the
exercise
of
armes
.
Then
the
Paracoussy
caused
a
Corselet
to
be
set
on
end
,
and
prayed
me
to
make
a
proofe
of
our
Harkubusies
and
their
bowes
:
but
this
proofe
pleased
him
very
little
,
for
assoone
as
he
knew
that
our
Harkubuses
did
easily
perce
that
which
al
the
force
of
their
bowes
could
not
hurte
,
he
seemed
to
be
sorie
,
musing
with
himselfe
how
this
thing
might
be
done
.
Neuerthelesse
going
about
to
dissemble
in
his
mind
,
that
which
his
countenan e
could
not
doe
by
any
meanes
,
he
began
to
fall
into
another
matter
,
and
prayed
vs
very
earnestly
to
stay
with
him
that
night
in
his
house
or
lodging
,
affirming
that
no
greater
happinesse
could
come
vnto
him
then
our
long
aboad
,
which
he
desired
to
recompence
with
a
thousand
presents
.
Neuerthelesse
we
cold
not
graunt
him
this
poynt
,
but
tooke
our
leaue
of
him
,
to
returne
to
our
ships
:
Where
Florida
,
was
altogether
a
marish
Countrey
,
and
therefore
vnprofitable
for
our
inhabitation
:
A
thing
which
cold
yeeld
neither
profit
to
the
king
nor
any
contentment
or
pleasure
to
vs
,
if
peraduenture
we
would
inhabite
there
.
On
the
other
side
if
we
passed
farther
towarde
the
North
to
seeke
out
Port
Royall
,
it
would
bee
neither
verye
profitable
nor
conuenient
:
at
the
least
if
wee
would
giue
credit
to
the
reporte
of
them
which
remayned
there
a
long
time
,
although
the
Hauen
were
one
of
the
fayrest
of
the
West
Indies
:
but
that
in
this
case
the
question
was
not
so
much
of
the
beautie
of
the
place
,
as
of
thinges
necessary
to
sustayne
life
.
And
that
at
our
first
inhabiting
it
was
muche
more
needefull
for
vs
to
plant
in
places
plentifull
of
victualle
,
then
in
goodly
Hauens
,
fayre
deepe
and
pleasant
to
the
vewe
,
In
consideration
whereof
that
I
was
of
opinion
,
if
it
seemed
good
vnto
them
to
seate
our selues
about
the
riuer
of
May
:
seing
also
that
in
our
first
voyage
we
found
the
same
onely
among
all
the
rest
to
abound
in
Maiz
and
corne
,
besides
the
gold
and
siluer
that
was
found
there
:
a
thing
that
put
May
,
then
on
any
other
,
vntill
they
might
heare
newes
out
of
Fraunce
.
This
point
thus
being
agreed
vpon
wee
sayled
toward
the
riuer
,
and
vsed
such
diligence
,
that
with
the
fauour
of
the
windes
we
arriued
there
the
morrow
after
about
the
breake
of
day
,
which
was
on
a
Thurseday
the
29.
of
the
moneth
of
Laudonniere
.
Indian
Hermaphrodite
,
or
rather
if
it
had
not
been
for
the
great
desire
which
we
had
to
make
vs
resolute
of
our selues
we
had
taken
vp
our
lodging
all
night
in
the
wood
.
Being
therfore
refreshed
by
this
meane
,
we
gathered
our
sprites
together
,
&
marching
with
a
cheerefull
courage
,
we
came
to
the
place
which
wee
had
chosen
to
make
our
habitation
in
:
whereon
at
that
instant
neere
the
Riuers
brinke
we
strowed
a
number
of
boughes
&
leaues
to
take
our
rest
on
them
the
night
following
,
which
we
found
exceeding
sweete
,
because
of
the
payne
which
the
day
before
we
had
taken
in
our
trauell
.
On
the
morrow
about
the
breake
of
day
I
commaunded
a
trumpet
to
be
sounded
,
that
being
assembled
we
Paracoussy
Satourioua
our
neerest
neighbour
,
and
on
whose
ground
we
built
our
fort
,
came
vsually
accompanied
with
his
two
sonnes
and
a
great
number
of
Indians
to
offer
to
do
vs
al
curtesie
.
And
I
likewise
for
my
part
bestowed
diuers
of
our
trifles
frankly
on
him
to
th
end
he
might
know
the
goodwil
which
we
bare
him
,
&
therby
make
him
more
desirous
of
our
friendship
,
in
such
sort
y●
as
the
dayes
increased
so
our
amity
&
friendship
increased
also
:
After
that
our
fort
was
brought
into
forme
,
I
began
Indians
▪
of
his
company
to
dresse
the
next
day
morning
so
good
a
number
of
Palme
leaues
,
that
the
grange
was
couered
in
lesse
then
two
dayes
:
so
that
businesse
was
finished
.
For
in
the
space
of
those
two
dayes
,
the
Indians
neuer
ceased
from
working
,
some
in
fetching
Palme
leaues
,
others
in
enterlacing
of
them
:
in
such
sorte
that
their
kings
commaundement
was
executed
as
he
desired
.
Our
fort
was
built
in
Charles
.
After
we
were
furnished
with
that
which
was
most
necessary
,
I
would
not
lose
a
minute
of
an
houre
,
without
employing
of
the
same
in
some
vertuous
exercise
:
therefore
I
charged
Monsieur
de
Ottigni
my
Lieuetenant
,
a
man
in
truth
worthy
all
honour
for
his
honestie
and
vertue
,
to
search
vp
within
the
riuer
what
this
Thimogoua
might
be
,
whereof
the
Paracoussy
Satourioua
had
spoken
to
vs
so
often
at
our
comming
on
shore
.
For
execution
hereof
the
Paratoussy
gaue
him
two
Indians
for
his
guides
,
which
taking
vpon
them
to
lead
him
in
this
voyage
seemed
to
goe
vnto
a
wedding
,
so
desirous
they
were
to
fight
with
their
enemies
.
Being
embarked
they
hoysed
sayle
and
hauing
sayled
about
Thimogoua
,
Thimogoua
,
and
spake
of
nothing
else
but
to
hasten
forward
to
goe
to
fight
with
them
:
which
the
Captayne
seemed
to
be
willing
to
doe
,
to
content
them
.
When
they
came
to
boorde
them
,
one
of
the
Indians
gat
holde
of
an
Halbert
,
another
of
a
Coutelas
in
such
a
rage
that
hee
would
haue
lept
into
the
water
to
haue
fought
with
them
alone
.
Neuerthelesse
Ottigny
would
not
let
them
doe
it
,
for
while
he
differed
to
abord
them
he
gaue
the
others
respit
to
turne
the
prooes
of
their
Canoes
toward
the
shore
and
so
to
escape
into
the
woods
.
Againe
the
meaning
of
Ottigny
was
not
to
make
warre
vpon
them
of
Thimogoua
▪
but
rather
to
make
them
friendes
;
and
to
make
them
thencefoorth
to
liue
in
peace
one
with
another
if
it
were
possible
,
hoping
by
this
meane
to
discouer
daily
some
new
thing
,
&
especially
the
certayne
course
of
the
Riuer
.
For
this
purpose
hee
caused
the
barke
to
retire
wherein
were
the
two
Indians
his
guides
,
&
went
with
his
toward
the
Canoes
which
were
on
the
Riuers
side
.
Being
come
vnto
them
,
he
put
certaine
trifles
into
them
,
and
then
retired
a
goodway
from
them
,
which
thing
caused
the
Indians
which
were
fled
away
to
rerurne
to
their
Boates
,
and
to
vnderstand
by
this
signe
,
that
those
of
our
barke
were
none
of
their
enimies
,
but
rather
come
onely
to
trafficke
with
them
.
Wherefore
being
thus
assured
of
vs
they
called
to
our
men
to
come
neere
vnto
them
:
which
they
did
incontinently
and
set
foote
on
lande
,
and
spake
freely
with
them
,
with
diuerse
ceremonies
ouer
long
to
recount
.
In
the
end
Ottigni
demaunded
of
them
by
signes
if
they
had
gold
or
siluer
among
them
.
But
they
told
him
they
had
none
as
then
:
and
that
if
he
would
send
one
of
his
men
with
them
,
they
would
bring
him
without
daunger
into
a
place
where
they
might
haue
some
.
Ottigni
seeing
them
so
willing
,
deliuered
them
one
of
his
men
which
seemed
very
resolute
to
vndertake
this
voyage
:
this
fellow
stayed
with
them
vntill
ten
of
the
clocke
the
next
day
morning
,
so
that
Captayne
Ottigny
somewhat
offended
with
his
long
staye
,
sayled
tenne
great
Thimogoua
,
I
dispatched
Captaine
Vasseur
and
my
sergeant
Olata
Ouae
Vtina
:
and
that
if
the
Captayne
would
sayle
thytherward
,
Molloua
,
after
that
he
had
rowed
not
past
halfe
a
league
.
While
king
Molloua
had
ended
intertayning
Captayne
Vasseur
and
his
men
,
the
souldier
came
in
with
f●ue
or
sixe
pounds
weight
of
siluer
which
he
had
trucked
and
traffiked
with
the
Indians
.
This
king
caused
bread
to
be
made
,
and
fishe
to
be
dressed
after
the
Indian
fashion
Cadecha
,
Chilili
,
Eclauou
,
Enacappe
,
Calany
,
Anacharaqua
,
Omittaqua
,
Aequera
,
Moquoso
:
al
which
with
him
vnto
the
number
of
more
then
fortie
,
he
assured
vs
to
be
the
vassals
of
the
most
renowmed
Olata
Ouae
Vtina
.
This
done
,
he
went
about
likewise
to
discouer
the
enemies
of
Ouae
Vtina
,
in
which
number
he
placed
as
the
first
the
Paracoussy
Satourioua
monarch
of
the
confines
of
the
riuer
of
May
,
which
hath
vnder
his
obeysace
thirty
other
Paracoussies
,
whereof
there
were
ten
which
were
al
his
brethren
,
and
that
therefore
he
was
greatly
esteemed
in
those
parties
:
then
he
named
three
others
no
lesse
puissant
than
Satourioua
,
whereof
the
first
dwelt
two
dayes
iourney
from
his
Lord
Olate
Oure
Vtina
,
and
ordinarily
made
warre
vpon
him
,
whose
name
was
Potanou
,
a
man
Onatheaqua
,
Houstaqua
,
being
great
Lordes
,
and
abounding
in
riches
,
and
principally
Onatheaqua
,
which
dwelt
neere
vnto
the
high
mountaines
,
wherein
there
was
aboundance
of
many
rare
thinges
,
and
infinite
quantitie
of
a
kinde
of
slate
stone
,
wherwith
they
made
wedges
to
cleaue
their
wood
.
The
occasion
which
(
as
he
sayde
)
moued
Potanou
to
wage
war
against
Olata
Ouaé
Vtina
,
was
the
feare
that
hee
had
,
least
hee
and
his
companions
shoulde
get
of
that
hard
stone
in
his
countrey
,
wherewith
they
headed
their
arrowes
,
and
coulde
not
get
it
in
any
neerer
place
.
Besides
all
this
,
Molloua
recited
to
Captaine
Vasseur
,
that
the
kinges
alies
the
vassals
of
great
Olata
,
armed
their
breastes
,
armes
,
thighes
,
legges
,
and
Vasseur
,
and
my
sergeant
promised
him
that
one
day
I
shold
march
with
my
foroes
into
those
countries
,
and
that
ioyning
my selfe
with
his
Lord
Olata
,
I
would
subdue
the
inhabitants
of
the
highest
of
those
mountaines
.
Hee
was
very
glad
of
this
speech
,
and
answered
that
the
least
of
these
kings
which
he
had
named
,
should
present
vnto
the
generall
of
these
succours
the
height
of
two
foot
of
gold
&
siluer
,
which
by
force
of
arms
they
had
already
gotten
of
those
two
kings
,
Onatheaqua
,
and
Houstaqua
.
The
good
cheere
being
done
,
and
the
discourses
ended
,
my
men
embarked
themselues
againe
with
intention
to
bring
me
those
good
newes
vnto
the
fort
Caroline
.
But
after
they
had
sayled
a
very
long
while
downe
the
riuer
,
and
were
come
within
three
leagues
of
vs
,
the
tide
was
so
strong
against
them
,
that
they
were
constrayned
to
goe
on
land
,
and
to
retire
themselues
because
of
the
night
vnto
the
dwelling
of
a
certain
Paracoussy
named
Molona
,
which
shewed
Thimogoua
,
and
thought
that
the
French
men
went
thither
for
none
other
occasion
but
for
to
inuade
them
.
Which
captain
Vasseur
perceiuing
dissembled
so
wel
,
that
he
made
him
beleeue
that
he
went
to
Thimogoua
,
with
none
other
intention
,
but
to
subdue
them
,
&
to
destroy
them
with
the
edge
of
the
sword
without
mercy
,
but
that
their
purpose
had
not
such
successe
as
they
desired
,
because
that
the
people
of
Thimogoua
being
aduertised
of
this
enterprise
,
retired
into
the
woods
,
&
saued
themselues
by
flight
:
the
neuerthelesse
they
had
taken
some
as
they
were
flying
away
which
carried
no
newes
therof
vnto
their
fellowes
.
The
Paracoussy
was
so
glad
of
this
relation
,
that
he
enterrupted
him
,
and
asked
Vasseur
of
the
beginning
&
maner
of
his
execution
,
&
praied
him
that
he
would
shew
him
by
signes
how
all
things
passed
.
Immediatly
Frauncis
la
Caille
the
sergeant
of
my
band
took
his
sword
in
his
hand
,
saying
that
with
the
point
thereof
he
had
thrust
through
two
Indians
which
ran
into
the
woods
,
&
that
his
companions
had
done
no
lesse
for
their
parts
.
And
that
if
fortune
had
so
fauoured
them
,
that
they
had
not
bin
discouered
by
the
men
of
Thimogoua
,
they
had
had
a
victorie
most
glorious
&
worthy
of
eternall
memory
.
Herevpon
the
Paracoussy
shewed
himselfe
so
wel
satisfied
,
that
he
could
not
deuise
how
to
gratifie
our
men
,
which
he
caused
t●
come
into
his
house
to
feast
them
more
honorably
:
&
hauing
made
captaine
Vasseur
to
sit
next
him
,
and
in
his
own
chaire
(
which
the
Indians
esteeme
for
the
chiefest
honour
)
&
then
vnderneath
him
two
of
his
sonnes
,
goodly
and
mighty
fellowes
,
he
commanded
al
the
rest
to
place
themselues
as
they
thought
good
.
This
done
,
the
Indians
came
according
to
their
good
custom
,
to
present
their
drink
Cassine
to
the
Paracoussy
,
&
then
to
certaine
of
his
chiefest
friends
,
&
the
Frenchmen
.
Then
he
which
brought
it
set
the
cup
aside
,
&
drew
out
a
little
dagger
which
hung
stucke
vp
in
the
roofe
of
the
house
,
&
like
a
mad
man
he
lift
his
head
aloft
,
&
ran
apace
,
&
went
and
smote
an
Indian
which
sate
alone
in
one
of
the
corners
of
the
hall
,
crying
with
a
loud
voyce
,
Hyou
,
the
poore
Indian
stirring
not
at
al
for
the
blow
,
which
he
seemed
to
eudure
paciently
.
He
which
held
the
dagger
went
quickly
to
put
the
same
in
his
former
place
,
&
began
again
to
giue
vs
drink
,
as
he
did
before
:
but
he
had
not
long
continued
,
&
had
scarcely
giuen
3.
or
4.
thereof
,
but
he
left
his
bowle
againe
,
tooke
the
dagger
in
his
hand
,
&
quickly
returned
vnto
him
which
he
had
stroken
before
,
to
whom
he
gaue
a
very
sore
blow
on
the
side
,
crying
Hyou
,
as
he
had
done
before
:
then
he
went
to
put
the
dagger
in
his
place
,
and
set
him self
down
among
the
rest
.
A
litle
while
after
,
he
that
had
bin
stroken
fel
down
backwards
,
stretching
out
his
armes
and
legs
as
if
he
had
bin
ready
to
yeld
vp
the
latter
gaspe
.
And
then
the
younger
sonne
of
the
Paracoussy
apparrelled
in
a
long
white
skin
,
fel
down
at
the
feet
of
him
that
was
fallen
backward
,
weeping
bitterly
halfe
a
quarter
of
an
houre
:
after
two
other
of
his
brethren
clad
in
like
apparel
,
came
about
him
that
was
so
stricken
,
&
began
to
sigh
pitifully
.
Their
mother
bearing
a
litle
infant
in
her
armes
came
from
another
part
,
and
going
to
the
place
where
her
sonnes
were
,
at
the
first
she
vsed
infinit
numbers
of
outcries
,
then
one
while
lifting
vp
her
eies
to
heauen
,
an
other
while
falling
down
vnto
the
ground
,
she
cried
so
dolefully
,
that
her
lamentable
mournings
would
haue
moued
the
most
hard
&
stonie
heart
in
the
world
with
pity
.
Yet
this
sufficed
not
,
for
there
came
in
a
company
of
young
gyrles
which
did
neuer
lyn
weeping
for
a
long
while
in
the
place
where
the
Indian
was
fallen
down
,
whom
afterward
they
took
,
&
with
the
saddest
gestures
they
could
deuise
,
caried
him
away
into
another
house
a
little
way
of
from
the
great
hal
of
the
Paracoussy
,
&
continued
their
weepings
&
mournings
by
the
space
of
two
long
houres
:
in
which
meane
while
the
Indians
ceassed
not
to
drink
Cassine
,
but
with
such
silence
that
one
word
was
not
heard
in
the
parler
.
Vasseur
beeing
grieued
that
hee
vnderstood
not
these
ceremonies
,
demaunded
of
the
Paracoussy
what
these
thinges
meant
:
which
answered
him
slowly
,
Thimogoua
,
Thimogoua
,
with
out
saying
any
more
.
Beeing
more
displeased
then
he
was
before
with
so
slight
an
answeare
,
he
turned
vnto
another
Indian
the
Paracoussyes
brother
,
who
was
a
Paracoussy
as
well
as
his
brother
,
called
Malica
,
which
made
him
a
like
answere
as
he
did
at
the
first
,
Thimogoua
,
when
as
Vasseur
preuenting
that
which
he
might
obiect
,
declared
&
shewed
to
him
by
signes
the
maner
of
his
enterprise
,
adding
that
by
reason
of
the
2.
Indians
which
he
had
staine
,
his
sw●r●
was
so
bloudy
,
that
he
was
inforced
to
wash
&
make
it
cleane
a
long
while
in
the
riuer
:
which
the
old
man
beleeued
to
be
like
to
be
true
,
and
made
no
maner
of
reply
therevnto
.
Vasseur
,
la
Caille
,
and
their
other
companions
went
out
of
the
hall
to
go
into
the
roome
whither
Paracoussy
,
with
all
the
young
damsels
which
before
bewailed
him
in
the
hall
:
which
did
nothing
els
but
warme
a
great
deale
of
mosse
in
steede
of
Thimogoua
:
alledging
moreouer
,
that
as
often
as
he
himself
,
or
any
of
his
friends
&
alies
returned
from
the
countrey
,
without
they
brought
the
heads
of
their
enimies
,
or
without
bringing
home
some
prisoner
,
he
vsed
for
a
perpetual
memory
of
al
his
predecessors
,
to
beate
the
best
beloued
of
all
his
children
,
with
the
selfsame
weapons
,
wherewith
they
had
bin
killed
in
times
past
:
to
the
ende
that
by
renewing
of
the
wounde
their
death
should
be
lamented
afresh
.
Now
when
they
were
thus
informed
of
those
ceremonies
they
thanked
the
Paracoussy
for
their
good
entertainement
which
they
had
receiued
,
and
so
setting
saile
came
to
me
vnto
the
fort
:
where
they
declared
all
vnto
me
as
I
haue
recited
it
heretofore
.
The
eight
and
tweentieth
of
Iulie
Florida
,
the
Paracoussy
Satourioüa
sent
certaine
Indians
vnto
me
to
know
whether
I
would
stand
to
my
promise
which
I
had
made
him
at
my
first
arriuall
in
that
countrie
,
which
was
that
I
would
shew
my selfe
friend
to
his
friendes
and
enemie
vnto
his
enemies
,
and
also
to
accompanie
him
with
a
good
number
of
Hargabushes
,
when
he
should
see
it
expedient
,
and
should
finde
a
fit
occasion
to
goe
to
warre
:
nowe
seeing
he
rested
vpon
this
promise
,
he
prayed
me
not
to
deferre
the
same
:
seeing
also
that
making
accompt
thereof
he
had
taken
such
good
order
for
the
execution
of
his
enterprise
,
that
he
was
readie
,
and
was
furnished
with
all
thinges
that
were
necessarie
for
the
voyage
.
I
made
him
aunswere
that
for
his
amitie
I
would
not
purchase
the
enmitie
of
the
other
,
and
that
albeit
I
would
,
yet
notwithstanding
I
wanted
meanes
to
doe
it
.
For
it
behooued
me
at
that
present
to
make
prouision
of
victuals
and
munition
for
the
defence
of
my
fort
.
On
the
otherside
that
my
Barkes
were
nothing
readie
,
and
that
this
enterprise
woulde
require
time
:
moreouer
that
the
Paracoussy
Satourioua
might
holde
himselfe
readie
to
depart
within
two
monethes
,
and
that
then
I
would
thinke
of
fulfilling
my
promise
to
him
.
The
Indians
carried
this
answere
to
their
Paracoussy
,
which
was
litle
pleased
withit
,
because
he
could
not
deferre
his
execution
or
expedition
,
aswell
because
all
his
victuals
were
readie
,
as
also
because
tenne
other
Paracoussies
were
assembled
with
him
for
the
performance
of
this
enterprise
.
The
ceremonie
which
this
Paracoussies
,
and
cast
the
rest
as
it
were
in
a
rage
and
despite
into
a
fire
which
was
there
prepared
for
the
purpose
.
This
done
he
cried
out
thrise
,
He
Thimogoüa
,
and
was
followed
with
fiue
hundred
Indians
He
Thimogoüa
.
This
ceremonie
,
as
a
certaine
Indian
tolde
me
familiarly
,
signified
nothing
else
,
but
that
Satourioüa
besought
the
sonne
to
graunt
vnto
him
so
happie
a
victorie
that
he
might
shed
his
enemies
bloud
,
as
he
had
shed
that
water
at
his
pleasure
:
moreouer
that
the
Paracoussies
which
were
sprinkled
with
a
part
of
that
water
,
might
returne
with
the
heades
of
their
enimies
,
which
is
the
onely
and
chiefe
triumph
of
their
victories
.
The
Paracoussy
Satourioüa
had
no
sooner
ended
his
ceremonies
and
had
taken
a
viewe
of
all
his
companye
,
but
he
embarked
himselfe
,
and
vsed
such
diligence
with
his
Almadies
or
boates
,
that
the
next
daye
two
houres
before
the
sonnes
set
,
hee
arriued
on
the
territories
of
his
enemies
aboute
eight
or
ten
leages
from
their
villages
:
Afterward
causing
them
all
to
goe
on
lande
he
assembled
his
counsel
,
wherein
it
was
agreed
that
fiue
of
the
Paracoussies
shoulde
saile
vp
the
riuer
with
halfe
of
the
Paracoussy
Omoloa
,
one
of
them
which
was
in
the
companie
:
Paracoussies
,
&
left
thirtéene
of
them
to
Satourioüa
,
which
straightway
dispatched
an
Indian
his
subiecte
,
to
carrie
newes
before
of
the
victorie
to
them
which
staied
at
home
to
gard
their
houses
,
which
immediatly
beganne
to
wéepe
:
But
assone
as
night
was
come
they
neuer
left
dancing
and
playing
a
thousande
gambols
in
honour
of
the
feast
.
The
next
day
the
Paracoussy
Satourioüa
came
home
,
who
before
he
entred
into
his
lodging
caused
al
the
heirie
skuls
of
his
enemies
to
be
set
vp
before
Satourioüa
:
Where
after
I
was
come
and
entered
into
the
hall
without
any
manner
of
salutation
,
I
went
and
sate
mee
downe
by
him
and
stayed
a
long
while
without
speaking
any
worde
vnto
him
,
nor
shewing
him
any
signe
of
friendship
,
which
thing
put
him
deépely
in
his
domps
:
besides
that
certaine
soldiers
remained
at
the
gate
,
to
whome
I
had
giuen
expresse
commandement
to
suffer
no
Indian
to
goe
foorth
:
hauing
stoode
still
about
halfe
an
houre
with
this
countenaunce
,
at
length
I
demaunded
where
the
prisoners
were
,
which
hee
hadde
taken
at
Thomogoua
,
and
commaunded
them
presentlie
to
be
brought
vnto
mee
.
Wherevnto
the
Paracoussy
angrie
at
the
hearte
and
astonyed
wonderfully
stoode
a
long
while
without
making
any
answere
,
notwithstanding
at
last
he
answered
me
verie
stoutly
that
being
affraide
to
seé
vs
comming
thither
in
such
warrelike
manner
they
fled
into
the
woods
,
and
that
not
knowing
which
way
they
were
gone
they
were
not
able
by
any
meanes
to
bring
them
againe
,
Then
I
seemed
to
make
as
though
I
vnderstoode
not
what
hee
saide
,
and
asked
for
his
prisoners
againe
,
and
for
some
of
his
principall
allies
.
Then
Satourioüa
commanded
his
sonne
Athore
to
seéke
out
the
prisoners
,
and
to
cause
them
to
be
brought
Paracoussy
,
they
humblie
saluted
me
,
&
lifting
vp
their
handes
before
me
,
they
would
haue
fallen
downe
prostrate
as
it
were
at
my
feét
:
but
I
would
not
suffer
them
,
and
soone
after
led
them
away
with
mee
vnto
my
owne
force
.
The
Paracoussy
,
being
wonderfully
offended
with
this
brauado
,
bethought
himselfe
by
all
meanes
how
he
might
be
reuenged
of
vs
.
But
to
giue
vs
no
suspition
thereof
,
and
the
better
to
couer
his
intention
,
he
sent
his
messengers
oftentimes
vnto
vs
bringing
alwaies
with
them
some
kinde
of
presentes
.
Among
others
one
day
hee
sent
three
Indians
,
which
brought
vs
France
,
and
promised
me
in
their
kinges
behalfe
that
during
mine
aboade
in
that
countrie
I
shoulde
neuer
want
victuals
:
I
thanked
them
for
their
kings
good
will
,
and
signified
vnto
them
the
great
desire
which
I
had
,
aswell
for
the
benefit
of
Satourioüa
,
as
for
the
quiet
of
his
subiectes
,
to
make
a
peace
betweéne
him
and
those
of
Thimogoüa
:
which
thing
could
not
choose
but
turne
to
their
great
benefite
,
seeing
that
being
allied
with
the
kings
of
those
partes
,
he
had
an
open
passage
against
Onatheaqua
his
auncient
enemie
,
which
otherwise
he
coulde
not
set
vpon
:
Moreouer
that
Olata
Oaüe
Vtina
was
so
mightie
a
Paracoussy
,
that
Satourioüa
was
not
able
to
withstande
his
forces
:
but
being
agreed
together
they
might
easily
ouerthrowe
all
their
enemies
,
and
might
passe
the
confines
of
the
farthest
riuers
that
were
towards
the
South
.
The
messengers
praied
me
to
haue
patience
vntill
the
morrowe
,
at
what
time
they
woulde
come
agayne
vnto
mee
to
certifie
mee
of
their
lordes
inclination
:
which
they
fayled
not
to
doe
,
aduertising
mee
that
Paracoussy
Satourioua
was
the
gladdest
man
in
the
worlde
to
treate
of
this
accorde
(
although
in
deede
he
was
quite
contrarie
)
and
that
hee
besought
me
to
be
diligent
therein
,
promising
to
obserue
&
performe
whatsoeuer
I
should
agreé
vpon
with
those
of
Thimogoüa
:
which
thinges
the
messengers
also
rehearsed
vnto
the
prisoners
which
I
had
led
away
.
After
they
were
departed
I
resolued
within
two
dayes
to
sende
backe
againe
the
prisoners
to
Olata
Ouae
Vtina
,
whose
subiectes
they
were
:
but
before
I
embarked
them
,
I
gaue
them
certaine
smale
trifles
,
which
were
litle
kniues
or
tablets
of
glasse
,
wherein
the
image
of
King
Charles
the
ninth
was
drawen
verie
liuely
,
for
which
they
gaue
mee
verie
great
thankes
,
as
also
for
the
honest
entertainment
which
was
giuen
them
at
the
fort
Caroline
:
after
this
they
embarked
themselues
,
with
captaine
Vasseur
,
&
with
monsur
De
Arlac
mine
ensigne
which
I
had
sent
of
purpose
to
remaine
a
certaine
time
with
Ouae
Vtina
,
hoping
that
the
fauour
of
this
great
Paracoussy
would
serue
my
turne
greatly
to
make
my
discoueries
in
time
to
come
.
I
sent
with
him
also
one
of
my
sergeantes
,
and
sixe
gallant
soldiers
.
Thus
things
passed
on
this
manner
,
and
the
hatred
of
Paracoussy
Satourioua
agaynst
me
did
still
continue
,
vntill
that
on
the
29.
of
August
a
lightning
from
heauen
Paracoussy
Serranay
Paracoussy
Allimacany
,
which
at
their
first
entrie
made
vnto
mee
a
long
discourse
,
and
a
verie
large
and
ample
oration
(
after
they
had
presented
mee
with
certaine
basketes
full
of
Maiz
,
of
Pompions
and
of
Grapes
,
)
of
the
louing
amitie
which
Allimacany
desired
to
continue
with
mee
,
and
that
hee
looked
from
day
to
day
when
it
would
please
mee
to
employ
him
in
my
seruice
.
Therefore
considering
the
seruiceable
affection
that
he
bare
vnto
mee
,
hee
founde
it
very
strange
,
that
I
thus
discharged
myne
ordinance
against
his
dwelling
,
Paracoussy
,
did
please
mee
right
well
,
because
that
before
heé
had
not
behaued
himselfe
in
such
sort
towardes
mee
,
especially
when
I
sommoned
him
to
sende
mee
the
prisoners
of
great
Olata
Ouae
Vtina
which
heé
detained
,
whereof
notwithstanding
hee
made
no
great
accompt
,
which
was
the
principall
cause
wherefore
I
had
discharged
myne
ordinaunce
against
him
:
not
that
I
meant
to
reach
vnto
his
house
,
as
I
might
haue
done
easily
,
if
it
Paracoussy
,
which
notwithstanding
the
assurance
withdrew
himselfe
from
his
dwelling
tweéntie
or
fiue
and
twentie
leages
off
,
and
that
for
the
space
of
more
then
two
moneths
.
After
that
three
dayes
were
expired
the
fire
was
quite
extinguished
.
But
for
two
dayes
after
there
followed
such
an
excessiue
De
Arlac
,
Captayne
Vasseur
,
Vtina
,
sayled
so
farre
vp
the
riuer
,
that
they
discouered
a
Paracoussy
Vtina
,
which
after
he
had
feasted
them
according
to
his
abilitie
and
power
,
prayed
monsieur
De
Arlac
and
all
his
soldiers
to
stay
a
whyle
with
him
,
to
ayde
and
assist
him
in
battayle
against
one
of
his
enimies
called
Potanou
,
whervnto
monsieur
de
De
Arlac
consented
willingly
.
And
because
he
knewe
not
howe
long
heé
might
haue
occasion
to
stay
in
these
partes
,
hee
sent
mee
Captayne
Vasseur
and
the
barke
backe
agayne
,
which
brought
home
onely
fiue
soldiers
with
him
.
Now
because
the
custome
of
the
Indians
is
alwayes
Potanou
,
distant
from
the
dwelling
of
Vtina
aboute
fiue
and
twentie
leages
,
were
ware
of
them
:
which
sodenly
employed
and
bestowed
all
their
endeuour
to
defende
their
village
enclosed
all
with
treés
,
De
Arlac
,
they
left
the
place
:
and
the
Indians
of
Vtina
gate
into
the
village
,
taking
men
,
women
,
and
children
prisoners
.
Thus
Paracoussy
Vtina
obtayned
the
victorie
by
the
aide
of
our
De
Arlac
and
his
soldiers
,
which
at
their
returne
brought
me
certaine
presents
from
Vtina
,
as
some
syluer
,
a
smale
quantitie
of
golde
,
painted
skins
,
la
Roquette
of
the
countrie
of
Perigorte
,
which
put
in
their
heads
that
hee
was
a
great
magicion
,
and
that
by
the
secretes
of
art
magicke
he
had
discouered
a
Mine
of
golde
and
siluer
farre
vp
within
the
riuer
,
whereby
,
vpon
the
losse
of
his
life
,
euery
souldier
should
receiue
in
readie
buillion
the
valure
of
ten
thousand
crownes
,
beside
and
aboue
fifteéne
hundred
thousand
which
should
be
reserued
for
the
Kinges
Maiestie
:
Wherefore
they
allied
themselues
with
La
Roquette
and
another
of
his
confederates
,
whose
name
was
Le
Geure
,
in
La
Roquette
,
that
I
would
depriue
them
of
this
great
gaine
,
in
that
I
did
set
them
dayly
on
worke
,
not
sending
them
on
euery
side
to
discouer
the
Countreyes
:
therefore
that
it
were
a
good
deéde
,
after
they
had
made
me
vnderstand
so
much
,
to
seéke
meanes
to
dispatch
me
out
of
the
way
,
and
to
choose
another
Captaine
in
my
place
,
if
I
would
not
giue
them
Le
Gieure
often
vnto
me
,
as
one
that
I
trusted
aboue
all
others
,
and
of
whose
conspiracies
I
doubted
not
any
whit
at
all
.
In
this
meane
while
assembling
his
complices
,
sometime
in
his
chamber
and
sometime
in
the
woods
to
consult
with
them
,
he
spake
vnto
them
to
choose
another
Captaine
besides
me
,
to
the
intent
to
put
me
to
death
:
but
being
not
able
by
open
force
to
execute
his
mischienous
intention
,
he
gate
him
vnto
mine
Apothecarie
,
praying
him
instantly
to
mingle
in
my
medicine
,
which
I
was
to
receiue
one
De
Ottigny
,
and
against
the
principall
of
my
companie
:
vpon
which
occasion
I
assembled
all
my
souldiers
together
,
and
captaine
Bourdet
Gieure
,
which
had
gotten
him
into
the
woods
for
feare
of
being
taken
,
where
he
liued
for
a
while
after
with
the
sauages
by
my
permission
,
writ
vnto
me
often
,
and
in
many
of
his
letters
confessed
vnto
me
that
he
had
deserued
death
,
condemning
himselfe
,
so
farre
foorth
that
he
referred
all
to
my
mercie
and
pitie
.
The
seauenth
or
eighth
of
Nouember
,
after
I
had
La
Roche
Ferriere
,
and
an
other
toward
king
Vtina
,
to
discouer
euery
day
more
and
more
of
the
countrey
:
where
he
was
the
space
of
fiue
or
sixe
moneths
,
during
which
he
discouered
many
villages
,
and
among
others
one
named
Hostaqua
,
the
king
whereof
Gieure
,
which
offered
him
a
great
summe
of
money
,
if
it
woulde
please
him
to
carrie
him
into
France
:
he
transported
him
onely
to
the
other
side
of
the
riuer
.
Three
dayes
after
his
departure
thirteene
mariners
which
I
had
brought
out
of
France
,
suborned
by
certayne
other
mariners
which
captaine
Bourdet
had
left
me
,
stole
away
my
barkes
in
manner
following
.
These
mariners
of
captayne
Bourdet
put
mine
in
the
heade
,
that
if
they
had
Antilles
,
and
make
an
exceéding
profitable
voyage
.
Herevppon
they
beganne
to
deuise
howe
they
might
steale
away
my
barkes
,
and
consulted
that
when
I
shoulde
commande
them
to
goe
vnto
the
village
of
Sarauahi
distant
aboue
Cuba
:
whereupon
proceeded
that
mischiefe
which
hereafter
I
will
declare
more
at
large
.
When
I
sawe
my
Barkes
returned
not
at
their
wonted
howre
,
and
suspecting
that
which
fell
out
in
deéde
,
I
commaunded
my
Carpenters
with
all
diligence
to
make
a
little
boate
with
a
flat
bottome
,
to
serch
those
riuers
for
some
newes
of
these
Marriners
.
The
boate
dispatched
within
a
day
and
a
night
,
by
reason
that
my
Carpenters
found
planks
and
timber
readie
sawed
to
their
handes
,
as
commonly
I
caused
Foueneaux
,
and
one
La
Croix
,
and
another
called
Steuen
le
Geneuois
,
the
three
principall
authors
of
the
sedition
,
beganne
to
practise
with
the
best
of
my
troupe
,
shewing
them
that
it
was
a
vile
thing
for
men
of
honest
parentage
,
as
they
were
,
to
moyle
them selues
thus
wich
abiect
and
base
worke
,
seeing
they
had
the
best
occasion
of
the
worlde
offered
them
to
make
themselues
all
rich
:
which
was
to
arme
the
two
Barkes
which
were
in
building
and
to
furnish
them
with
good
men
:
and
then
to
saile
vnto
Peru
,
and
the
other
Isles
of
the
Antilles
,
where
euerie
Francis
la
Caille
sergeant
of
my
companie
,
containing
in
summe
a
declaration
of
the
smale
store
of
victuals
that
was
left
to
mayntayne
vs
,
vntill
the
time
that
shippes
might
returne
from
France
:
for
remedie
whereof
they
thought
it
necessarie
to
sende
to
Newe
Spaigne
,
to
Peru
,
and
all
the
Iles
adioyning
,
which
they
besought
mee
to
bee
content
to
grant
.
But
I
made
them
answere
▪
that
when
the
barkes
were
finished
,
I
woulde
take
such
good
order
in
generall
,
that
by
meanes
of
the
kinges
Marchandise
,
without
sparing
myne
owne
apparell
,
weé
woulde
get
victuals
of
the
inhabitantes
of
the
countrey
:
seéing
also
that
wee
had
ynough
to
serue
vs
for
foure
monethes
to
come
.
For
I
feared
greatly
,
that
vnder
pretence
of
serching
victuals
they
woulde
enterprise
somewhat
against
the
kings
of
Spaynes
subiectes
,
which
in
time
to
come
might
iustly
be
layde
to
my
charge
,
considering
that
at
our
departure
New
Spaine
to
seéke
their
aduenture
.
Then
I
warned
them
to
beé
well
aduised
what
they
meant
to
doe
:
but
they
foorth
with
replyed
,
that
they
were
fully
aduised
alreadie
▪
and
that
I
must
graunt
them
this
request
:
seéing
(
then
quoth
I
)
that
I
am
enforced
to
doe
it
,
I
will
send
Captayne
Vasseur
and
my
sergeant
,
which
will
make
aunswere
and
giue
mee
an
accompt
of
euerie
thing
that
shall
beé
done
in
this
voyage
:
and
to
content
you
I
thinke
it
good
that
you
take
one
man
out
of
euery
chamber
,
that
they
may
accompanie
Captayne
Vasseur
and
my
sergeant
:
wherevpon
,
blaspheming
the
name
of
God
▪
they
answered
that
they
must
goe
thither
:
that
there
lacked
nothing
,
but
that
I
should
deliuer
them
the
armour
which
I
had
in
my
custodie
,
for
feare
least
I
might
vse
them
to
their
disaduantage
(
beéing
so
villanously
abused
by
them
:
)
wherein
notwithstanding
I
would
not
yelde
vnto
them
:
But
they
tooke
all
by
force
,
and
carried
it
out
of
my
house
,
yea
and
after
they
had
hurte
a
gentleman
in
my
Chamber
,
which
spake
agaynst
their
doinges
,
they
laide
handes
on
me
,
and
carried
mee
verie
sicke
as
I
was
prisoner
into
a
shippe
which
rode
at
ancre
in
the
middest
of
the
riuer
,
wherein
Bertrand
Conferrent
,
for
their
ensigne
one
named
La
Croix
.
They
compelled
Captayne
Vasseur
to
deliuer
them
the
flagge
of
his
ship
.
Then
hauing
determined
to
sayle
vnto
a
place
of
the
Antilles
Leauguaue
,
belonging
vnto
the
king
of
Spayne
,
&
there
to
goe
on
lande
on
Christmasse
night
,
with
intention
to
enter
into
the
Church
while
the
Masse
was
saide
after
midnight
,
and
to
murder
all
those
that
they
founde
there
,
they
set
saile
the
eight
of
December
.
But
because
the
greatest
part
of
them
by
this
Lucaya
:
by
reason
whereof
they
met
not
vntill
sixe
weékes
after
their
departure
:
during
which
time
the
barke
that
tooke
her
way
a
long
the
coast
,
wherein
one
of
the
chiefe
conspiratours
named
De
Orange
was
captayne
,
and
Trenchant
was
pilote
,
neére
vnto
a
place
called
Archaha
tooke
a
Brigantine
laden
with
a
certayne
quantitie
of
Cassaua
,
Steuen
Gondeau
,
and
one
named
Grand
Pré
,
besides
two
more
that
were
slayne
in
the
place
,
namely
Nicolas
Master
&
Doublet
:
yet
neuerthelesse
they
tooke
the
brigantine
,
wherein
they
put
all
their
stuffe
that
was
in
their
owne
barke
,
because
it
was
of
greater
burthen
and
better
of
sayle
then
their
owne
:
afterwarde
they
sayled
right
vnto
the
Cape
of
Santa
Maria
neére
to
Leauguaue
,
where
they
went
on
lande
to
calke
and
bray
their
shippe
which
had
a
great
leake
.
In
this
meane
while
they
resolued
to
sayle
to
Baracou
,
which
is
a
Iamaica
:
where
at
there
arriuall
they
found
a
Carauele
of
fiftie
or
threéscore
tunnes
burden
,
which
they
tooke
without
any
bodie
in
it
,
And
,
after
they
had
made
good
chere
in
the
village
the
space
of
fiue
or
sixe
daies
,
they
embarked
themselues
in
it
,
leauing
their
second
shippe
:
then
they
returned
to
the
Cape
of
Tiburon
,
where
they
met
with
a
patach
,
which
they
toke
Iamaica
,
they
missed
of
another
Carauell
which
did
saue
it selfe
in
the
Hauen
.
The
gouernour
being
fine
and
subtile
,
séeing
himselfe
brought
vnto
the
place
which
he
desired
and
where
he
commanded
,
obtained
so
much
by
his
fayre
wordes
that
they
which
had
taken
him
let
him
put
two
litle
boyes
which
were
taken
with
him
into
a
litle
cocke
boate
and
sende
them
to
his
wife
into
the
village
to
aduertise
her
that
she
should
make
prouision
of
victuals
to
send
vnto
him
.
But
in
stéede
of
writing
vnto
his
wife
,
he
spake
vnto
the
boyes
secretly
that
with
all
diligence
she
should
send
the
vessels
that
were
in
the
hauens
néere
that
place
to
suecour
and
rescue
him
.
Which
she
did
so
cunningly
,
that
on
a
morning
about
the
breake
of
the
day
as
our
seditious
companions
were
at
the
hauens
mouth
(
which
reacheth
aboue
two
leagues
vp
within
the
lande
)
there
came
out
of
the
hauen
a
Malgualire
which
maketh
Cape
des
Aigrettes
,
and
the
Cape
of
S.
Anthonie
situate
in
the
Isle
of
Cuba
,
&
from
thence
passed
within
the
sight
of
Hauana
.
But
Trenchant
Bahama
,
Florida
:
where
knowing
the
fault
which
they
had
committed
,
in
a
kinde
of
mockerie
they
counterfaited
the
iudges
:
But
they
played
not
this
prancke
vntill
they
had
tippled
well
of
the
wine
which
remayned
yet
in
their
prise
.
One
counterfayted
the
iudge
,
an
other
presented
my
person
:
one
other
,
after
he
had
hearde
the
matter
pleaded
,
coucluded
thus
:
make
you
your
causes
as
good
as
it
pleaseth
you
,
but
if
when
you
come
to
the
fort
Caroline
the
Captayne
cause
you
not
to
bée
hanged
,
I
wil
neuer
take
him
for
an
honest
man
:
others
thought
that
my
choler
being
passed
I
woulde
easily
forget
this
matter
.
Their
saile
was
no
sooner
descried
vpon
our
coast
,
but
the
king
of
Patica
,
dwelling
eight
leagues
distant
from
our
fort
,
and
being
one
of
our
good
friends
,
sent
an
Indian
to
aduertise
me
that
he
had
descried
a
shippe
vpon
the
coast
,
and
that
hee
thought
it
was
one
of
our
Nation
.
Herevppon
the
Brigantine
oppressed
with
famine
came
to
an
ancre
at
the
mouth
of
the
riuer
of
May
:
when
at
the
first
blush
wee
thought
they
had
beene
shippes
come
from
France
:
which
gaue
vs
occasion
of
great
ioy
.
But
after
I
had
caused
her
to
bee
better
viewed
,
I
was
aduertised
My
friendes
,
you
knowe
the
cause
why
our
king
sent
vnto
this
countrie
:
you
knowe
that
hee
is
our
naturall
Prince
,
whome
wee
are
bounde
to
obey
according
to
the
commandement
of
God
,
in
such
sorte
that
wee
ought
neither
to
spare
our
goods
nor
liues
to
doe
those
thinges
,
that
concerne
his
seruice
:
yee
knowe
,
or
at
least
you
can
not
be
ignorant
,
that
besides
this
generall
and
naturall
obligation
,
you
haue
this
also
ioyned
thereunto
,
that
in
receyuing
of
him
reasonable
paye
and
wages
,
you
are
bounde
to
followe
those
,
whome
hee
hath
established
ouer
you
,
to
bee
your
gouernors
,
and
to
commaunde
you
in
his
name
,
hauing
for
this
purpose
giuen
him
an
othe
of
fidelitie
,
which
you
cannot
by
any
meanes
reuoke
for
any
faire
apparence
which
you
haue
to
doe
the
contrarie
:
for
this
is
reason
that
seeing
you
liue
vppon
his
charges
on
this
condition
,
(
this
is
reason
I
saye
,
)
that
you
shoulde
bee
faithfull
vnto
him
.
Notwithstanding
you
haue
had
more
regarde
vnto
your
vnbridled
affections
,
then
vnto
vertue
,
which
inuited
you
to
the
obseruance
of
your
othe
,
in
such
sort
that
being
become
contemners
of
all
honestie
,
you
haue
passed
your
bonds
,
and
thought
that
all
things
were
lawful
for
you
.
Whereupon
it
is
fallen
out
,
that
while
you
thought
to
escape
the
iustice
of
men
you
coulde
not
auoide
the
iudgement
of
God
:
which
as
a
thing
by
no
meanes
to
bee
auoided
hath
ledde
you
,
and
in
spite
of
you
hath
made
you
to
arriue
in
this
place
,
to
make
you
to
confesse
,
how
true
his
iudgementes
are
,
and
that
he
neuer
suffreth
so
foule
a
fault
to
escape
vnpunished
.
After
that
I
had
vsed
vnto
them
these
or
the
like
speaches
,
following
that
which
wee
had
agreed
vppon
in
counsaile
,
in
respect
of
the
crimes
which
they
had
committed
,
aswell
against
the
kinges
Maiestie
,
as
against
mée
which
was
their
Captaine
,
I
commaunded
that
they
shoulde
bee
hanged
.
Seeing
therefore
Christopher
Columbus
,
after
his
first
discouery
,
to
Francis
Pizarro
,
&
Diego
de
Almagro
in
Peru
,
and
to
Fernand
Cortes
.
An
hundred
thousand
other
thinges
came
vnto
my
minde
,
to
incourage
and
confirme
me
.
My
Lieuetenaunt
Ottigny
and
my
Sergeaurunt
of
my
band
came
to
seeke
me
in
the
shippe
,
where
I
was
prisoner
,
and
carried
me
from
thence
in
a
barke
,
assoone
as
our
rebels
were
departed
.
After
I
was
come
vnto
the
fort
,
I
Marracou
,
dwelling
from
the
place
of
our
fort
some
fortie
leagues
toward
the
South
,
and
tolde
me
that
there
was
one
in
the
house
of
King
Onathaqua
which
was
called
Barbu
or
the
bearded
man
,
and
in
the
house
of
The
Martyrs
,
and
that
the
king
of
Calos
recouered
the
greatest
part
of
the
riches
which
were
in
the
saide
shippes
,
traueiling
in
such
sort
that
the
greatest
part
of
the
people
was
saued
and
many
women
,
among
which
number
there
were
thrée
or
foure
women
married
,
remaining
there
yet
,
and
their
children
also
,
with
this
king
of
Calos
.
I
desired
to
learne
what
this
king
was
:
Oathcaqua
,
distant
from
Calos
foure
Sarrope
,
about
fiue
leagues
in
Calos
,
hauing
made
alliance
with
Oathcaqua
,
was
depriued
of
Oathcaquaes
daughter
which
hee
had
promised
to
him
in
marriage
.
Hee
tolde
mee
the
whole
matter
in
this
sorte
.
As
Oathcaqua
well
accompanied
with
his
people
carried
one
of
his
daughters
,
excéeding
beawtifull
,
according
to
the
coulour
of
the
countrey
,
vnto
king
Calos
,
to
giue
her
vnto
him
for
his
wife
,
the
inhabitantes
of
his
Isle
aduertised
of
the
matter
,
layde
an
ambush
for
him
in
a
place
where
hee
should
passe
,
and
so
behaued
themselues
,
that
Oathcaqua
was
discomfited
,
the
betrothed
young
spouse
taken
,
and
all
the
Damoselles
that
accompanied
her
,
which
they
carried
vnto
their
Oathcaqua
,
and
had
béene
with
him
full
eight
yeares
,
euen
vntil
the
time
that
hee
was
sent
vnto
mee
.
The
place
of
Caignaueral
,
which
Paracoussy
Satourioüa
my
neighbour
sent
me
certayne
presentes
by
two
of
his
subiectes
,
to
perswade
me
to
ioyne
with
him
,
and
to
make
warre
vppon
Ouae
Vtina
which
was
my
friende
:
and
farther
besought
mee
to
retyre
certayne
of
my
men
which
were
with
Vtina
,
for
whome
if
it
had
not
béene
hee
had
oftentimes
set
vppon
him
and
defeited
him
,
he
besought
me
herein
by
diuers
other
kinges
his
allies
,
which
for
thrée
weekes
or
a
monethes
space
sent
messengers
vnto
mee
to
this
ende
and
purpose
.
But
I
woulde
not
graunt
vnto
them
that
they
should
make
warre
vppon
him
,
yea
rather
contrariwise
I
endeuoured
to
make
them
friendes
:
wherein
they
condiscended
vnto
mee
,
so
farre
foorth
that
they
were
content
to
allowe
of
any
thing
that
I
would
set
downe
:
whereupon
the
two
Spaniardes
which
of
long
time
knew
well
the
nature
of
the
Indians
,
warned
me
that
in
any
case
I
should
not
trust
vnto
them
:
because
that
when
they
Audusta
,
which
was
lord
of
that
place
,
where
those
of
the
yeare
1562.
inhabites
.
I
sent
him
twoe
sutes
of
apparel
,
with
certaine
hachats
,
kniues
,
and
other
smale
trifles
,
the
better
to
insinuate
my selfe
into
his
friendshippe
.
And
the
better
to
win
him
I
sent
in
the
barke
with
captaine
Vasseur
a
soldier
called
Aimon
,
which
was
one
of
them
which
returned
home
in
the
firste
voyage
,
hoping
that
king
Audusta
might
remember
him
.
But
before
they
were
embarked
I
commanded
them
to
make
inquirie
what
was
become
of
another
called
Rouffi
,
which
remained
alone
in
those
parts
,
when
Nicolas
Hauana
.
The
kinge
Audusta
sent
mee
backe
my
barke
ful
of
mill
,
with
a
certaine
quantitie
of
Hioacaia
,
whose
dwelling
was
distante
Cassine
,
where
with
they
make
their
drinke
.
And
the
place
where
this
widowe
dwelleth
is
the
most
plentiful
of
mil
that
is
in
all
the
coaste
and
the
Hiatiqui
,
which
is
as
much
to
saye
as
her
interpreter
.
Nowe
while
I
thought
I
was
furnished
with
victuals
vntill
the
time
that
our
shippes
might
come
out
of
France
,
(
for
feare
of
Mathiaqua
,
Eneguape
,
then
to
Chilily
,
from
thence
to
Patica
,
&
lastly
they
came
vnto
Coya
:
where
leuing
their
barks
in
a
little
creeke
of
the
riuer
with
men
to
gard
them
,
they
went
to
visit
Vtina
,
which
receaued
them
very
courteously
:
and
when
they
departed
from
his
house
,
hee
entreated
them
so
earnestly
,
that
sixe
of
my
men
remained
with
him
,
of
which
number
there
was
one
gentleman
named
Groutauld
,
which
after
he
had
aboade
there
aboute
two
monethes
and
taken
great
paines
to
discouer
the
countrie
,
with
another
which
I
had
left
a
great
while
there
to
that
intent
,
came
vnto
mee
to
the
fort
,
and
Hostaqua
,
&
that
the
king
thereof
was
so
mightie
,
that
he
was
able
to
bring
three
or
foure
thousand
sauages
to
the
field
:
with
whom
if
I
would
ioine
&
enter
in
to
league
,
we
might
be
able
to
reduce
all
the
rest
of
the
inhabitants
vnto
our
obedience
:
Besides
that
Apalassi
,
which
the
French
men
desired
so
greatly
to
attaine
vnto
,
and
where
the
enimie
of
Hostaqua
made
his
abode
,
which
was
easie
to
be
subdued
,
if
so
be
wee
woulde
enter
into
league
together
.
This
king
sent
me
a
plate
of
a
mynerall
that
came
out
of
this
mountayne
,
out
of
the
foote
whereof
there
runneth
a
streame
of
golde
or
copper
,
as
the
sauages
thinke
,
out
of
which
they
digge
Peter
Gamby
,
which
had
remained
a
long
space
before
in
this
countrie
to
learne
the
languages
and
trafficke
with
the
Indians
,
at
the
last
came
to
the
village
of
Edelano
,
where
hauing
gotten
together
a
certaine
quantitie
of
gold
and
syluer
,
&
purposing
to
returne
vnto
me
,
he
prayed
the
king
of
the
village
to
lend
him
a
Canoa
(
which
is
a
vessell
made
of
one
whole
piece
of
wood
which
the
Indians
vse
to
fish
with
al
and
to
row
vpon
the
riuers
)
which
this
lorde
of
Edelano
graunted
him
.
But
being
greedy
of
the
riches
which
he
had
,
he
commanded
two
Indians
,
which
heé
had
charged
to
conduct
him
in
the
Canoa
,
to
murder
him
&
bring
him
the
marchandise
&
the
gold
which
he
had
.
Which
the
two
traitors
villanously
executed
:
for
they
knockt
him
in
the
head
with
an
hatchet
,
as
he
was
blowing
of
the
fire
in
the
Canoa
to
seéth
fishe
.
The
Paracoussy
Vtina
sent
certayne
dayes
afterward
,
to
pray
Potanou
,
&
sent
me
word
that
this
enimie
once
vanquished
,
he
would
make
me
passage
,
yea
and
would
conduct
mee
vnto
the
mountains
,
in
such
sort
that
no
man
should
be
able
to
hinder
me
.
Then
I
assembled
my
men
to
demaunde
theyr
aduice
,
as
I
was
wont
to
doe
in
all
mine
enterprises
.
The
greater
part
was
of
Paracoussy
,
because
it
would
be
harde
for
mee
to
discouer
any
farther
vp
into
the
countrie
without
his
helpe
:
and
that
the
Spaniards
Ottigny
:
which
stayed
not
aboue
two
dayes
with
Vtina
,
while
he
prepared
victuals
for
his
voyage
,
which
ordinarily
and
according
to
the
custome
of
the
countrie
are
carried
by
women
and
yong
boyes
,
and
by
Hermaphrodites
.
Vtina
setting
forward
with
three
hundred
of
his
subiectes
,
Potanou
:
There
king
Vtina
requested
my
Lieutenant
to
graunt
him
foure
or
fiue
of
his
men
to
goe
and
discouer
the
countrey
:
which
departed
immediately
,
and
had
not
gone
farre
but
they
perceyued
Potanou
,
three
Indians
which
fished
in
a
Canoa
.
Nowe
the
custome
is
that
when
they
fishe
in
this
lake
,
they
haue
alwayes
a
companie
of
Watchmen
,
armed
with
Bowes
and
Arrowes
to
garde
the
fishers
.
Our
men
being
hereof
aduertised
by
those
of
the
companie
,
durst
not
passe
any
further
,
for
feare
of
falling
into
some
ambushe
.
Wherefore
they
returned
towardes
Vtina
,
which
suddenly
sent
them
backe
with
a
greater
company
to
surprise
the
fishers
,
before
they
might
retyre
and
aduertise
their
king
Potanou
of
the
comming
of
his
enimies
.
Which
they
coulde
not
execute
so
politikely
but
that
two
of
them
escaped
:
the
third
also
did
the
best
he
could
to
saue
himselfe
by
swimming
,
in
which
meane
while
hee
was
staied
with
shotte
of
arrowes
,
and
they
drew
him
starke
dead
vnto
the
bankes
side
,
where
our
Indians
fleade
of
the
skinne
of
his
head
,
cut
of
both
his
armes
in
the
high
way
,
reseruing
his
haire
for
the
triumphe
which
their
king
hoped
to
make
for
the
defeate
of
his
enimie
.
Vtina
fearing
least
Potanou
aduertised
by
the
Fishers
which
were
escaped
,
shoulde
put
himselfe
in
armes
to
withstand
him
valiantly
,
asked
counsell
Iawa
,
which
is
asmuch
to
say
in
their
language
as
his
Magician
,
whether
it
were
best
to
goe
any
farther
.
Then
this
Magician
made
certaine
signes
hidious
and
fearefull
to
beholde
,
and
vsed
certaine
wordes
,
which
being
ended
,
he
sayd
vnto
his
king
,
Potanou
,
vpon
which
occasion
they
were
put
to
flight
.
Wherewithall
Vtina
being
content
for
the
present
,
caused
his
people
to
retire
&
returne
homewarde
to
the
great
discontentment
of
Mounsieur
de
Ottigny
,
which
desired
nothing
more
,
then
to
pursue
his
victorie
.
After
he
was
come
home
to
his
house
he
sent
messagers
to
Paracoussi
,
and
leauing
him
twelue
of
his
men
,
to
see
that
Potanou
,
bethinking
himselfe
of
his
late
losse
,
should
not
come
to
burne
the
houses
of
Vtina
,
hee
set
forward
on
his
way
to
come
vnto
me
vnto
our
fort
,
where
he
vp
and
told
me
howe
euery
thing
had
passed
:
and
withall
that
hee
had
promised
the
twelue
souldiers
that
hee
woulde
come
backe
againe
to
fetch
them
.
Then
the
kinges
my
neighbours
all
enemies
to
Vtina
,
being
aduertised
of
the
returne
of
my
Lieuetenaunt
,
came
to
visite
me
with
presents
and
to
enquire
how
things
had
passed
,
praying
mee
all
to
receiue
them
into
my
fauour
,
and
to
become
enimy
to
Vtina
,
which
notwithstanding
I
would
not
graunt
them
for
many
reasons
that
moued
mee
.
The
Indians
are
wont
to
leaue
their
houses
and
to
retire
de
Ottigny
my
Lieuetenant
to
cause
tymber
necessarye
for
the
finishing
of
both
the
vessels
to
bee
brought
,
and
to
Mounsieur
de
Arlac
my
standart
bearer
to
goe
with
a
barke
a
league
of
from
the
fort
to
cut
downe
trees
fit
to
make
planckes
,
and
to
cause
the
sawiers
which
he
carried
with
him
to
saw
them
:
and
to
my
Sergeaunt
of
the
companye
to
cause
fiftéene
or
sixtéene
men
to
labour
in
making
coales
:
and
to
Master
Hance
keeper
of
the
artillery
,
and
to
the
gunner
to
gather
store
of
rosen
to
braye
the
vessels
:
wherein
he
vsed
such
diligence
,
that
in
lesse
then
three
Astina
,
which
he
determined
Astina
,
where
there
was
meanes
to
recouer
mast
and
maiz
.
In
the
meane
season
he
excused
himself
vnto
me
because
he
had
sent
me
no
more
maiz
,
and
sent
me
word
that
the
little
store
that
he
had
left
,
was
scarcely
sufficient
for
his
seede-corne
.
Nowe
being
somewhat
relieued
,
as
I
thought
,
by
the
hope
which
I
had
of
this
offer
,
I
would
not
fayle
to
send
him
the
men
which
he
desired
of
me
,
which
neuer
the
lesse
were
very
euill
intreated
:
for
he
deceiued
them
,
and
in
steéde
of
leading
them
against
Astina
,
he
caused
them
to
march
against
his
other
enimies
.
My
Lieuetenant
which
had
the
charge
of
this
enterprise
with
Captaine
Vasseur
and
my
Sergeaunt
was
determined
to
be
reuenged
of
Vtina
and
to
cutte
him
in
pieces
and
his
people
:
and
had
it
not
beene
that
they
feared
to
doe
any
thing
against
my
will
,
without
all
doubt
they
would
haue
put
their
enterprise
in
execution
.
Therefore
they
would
not
passe
any
farther
without
aduertising
me
thereof
.
Wherefore
being
come
backe
agayne
vnto
the
fort
,
angry
and
pricked
deépely
to
the
quicke
for
being
so
mocked
,
they
made
their
complaints
vnto
me
,
declaring
vnto
me
that
they
were
almost
dead
for
hunger
.
They
tolde
the
whole
matter
to
the
rest
of
the
souldyers
,
which
were
very
glad
that
they
had
entred
into
that
action
,
and
resolued
,
assembling
themselues
agayne
together
,
to
let
mee
vnderstand
that
they
did
persist
in
their
first
deliberation
,
which
was
,
to
punish
the
boldnes
and
maliciousues
of
the
sauages
,
which
they
could
no
longer
endure
,
and
were
determined
to
take
one
of
their
kings
prisoner
:
which
thing
I
was
enforced
to
graunt
vnto
them
,
to
the
ende
to
auoid
a
greater
mischiefe
,
&
the
sedition
which
I
foresaw
would
ensue
,
if
I
had
made
refusall
thereof
.
For
,
sayd
they
,
what
occasion
haue
you
to
deny
vs
,
considering
the
necessitie
wherein
we
are
,
&
the
small
account
that
they
make
of
vs
.
Shall
it
not
be
lawful
for
vs
to
punish
them
for
the
wrongs
which
they
do
vnto
vs
,
besides
that
we
know
apparantly
how
little
they
respect
vs
?
Is
not
this
sufficient
although
there
were
no
necessitie
at
all
,
since
they
thus
delude
vs
,
and
haue
broken
promise
with
vs
?
After
I
had
therefore
resolued
with
them
to
sease
on
the
person
of
Vtina
,
which
besides
that
he
had
giuen
vs
occasion
hereof
,
was
also
most
able
to
helpe
vs
to
recouer
victuals
,
I
departed
with
fiftye
of
my
best
souldyers
all
embarked
in
two
Barkes
and
wee
▪
arriued
in
the
dominions
of
Vtina
,
distant
from
our
fort
about
fortye
or
fiftye
leagues
:
then
going
on
shoare
wee
drewe
towardes
his
village
Vtina
,
and
sought
by
all
meanes
to
perswade
me
to
put
him
to
death
,
offering
that
if
I
would
doe
so
,
they
woulde
take
order
that
I
shoulde
want
no
victuals
.
There
was
also
a
king
my
neighbour
whose
name
was
Saturioüa
,
a
subtile
and
craftie
man
,
and
one
that
shewed
by
proofe
that
heé
Esquine
,
beate
it
,
and
made
meale
thereof
,
Enecaque
:
where
I
met
the
sister
of
Vtina
in
a
village
Enecaque
,
where
I
gathered
as
much
maiz
as
I
could
possibly
:
which
with
great
diligence
I
conueyed
to
our
fort
,
to
succour
my
poore
men
,
which
I
had
left
in
great
necessitie
.
They
therefore
seeing
me
a
farre
off
comming
ranne
to
that
side
of
the
riuer
where
they
thought
I
would
come
on
lande
:
for
hunger
so
pinched
them
to
the
hearte
,
that
they
could
not
staye
vntill
the
victuals
were
brought
them
to
the
fort
.
And
that
they
well
shewed
,
assoone
as
I
was
come
,
and
that
I
had
distributed
that
little
maiz
among
them
,
which
I
had
giuen
to
ech
man
,
before
I
came
out
of
the
barke
:
for
they
eate
it
before
they
had
taken
it
out
of
the
huske
.
But
seeing
my selfe
in
this
extreeme
néede
,
I
tooke
paynes
daye
by
daye
to
seeke
some
villages
,
where
there
was
some
foode
.
And
as
I
trauailed
Emola
,
and
by
one
whose
name
was
Casti
,
as
they
went
on
walking
to
the
village
called
Athore
.
The
cause
of
this
murder
was
,
because
they
Patica
,
Vtina
,
and
commaunded
him
to
goe
with
diligence
to
the
village
of
Vtina
,
vnto
his
father
in
lawe
and
his
wife
,
to
aduertise
them
that
if
they
woulde
haue
their
king
agayne
,
they
shoulde
bring
me
victuals
vnto
the
side
of
the
little
riuer
whither
I
was
gone
.
At
my
mans
comming
euerie
one
made
much
of
the
litle
child
,
neither
was
there
a
man
that
thought
not
himselfe
well
appaide
to
touch
him
.
His
father
in
law
&
his
wife
hearing
of
these
newes
came
presently
towards
our
barkes
,
and
brought
bread
which
they
gaue
vnto
my
soldiers
,
they
held
me
there
thrée
dayes
,
&
in
the
meane
while
did
all
that
they
could
to
take
me
:
which
presently
I
discouered
,
&
therfore
stood
diligently
vpon
my
gard
.
Wherefore
perceyuing
they
could
not
haue
their
purpose
,
&
that
they
were
already
discouered
,
they
sent
to
aduertise
mee
y●
as
yet
they
could
not
helpe
me
to
victuals
,
&
that
the
corne
was
not
yet
ripe
.
Thus
I
was
constrained
to
returne
&
to
carry
backe
Vtina
home
,
where
I
had
much
a
do
to
saue
him
from
the
rage
of
my
soldiers
:
which
perceiuing
the
maliciousnes
of
the
Indians
,
went
about
to
haue
murdred
him
.
Moreouer
it
séemed
they
were
content
that
they
had
gotten
the
son
,
&
that
they
cared
notgreatly
for
the
father
.
Now
my
hope
fayling
me
on
this
side
,
I
deuised
to
send
my
men
to
the
villages
,
where
I
thought
the
maiz
was
by
this
time
ripe
:
I
went
to
diuers
places
,
&
continued
so
doing
fiftéene
dayes
after
,
when
as
Vtina
besought
me
againe
to
send
him
vnto
his
village
,
assuring
himselfe
that
his
subiectes
would
not
sticke
to
giue
mee
victuals
:
&
that
in
case
they
refused
so
to
do
,
he
was
content
that
I
shuld
do
what
I
thought
good
with
him
.
I
vndertoke
this
voiage
the
second
time
with
the
two
barkes
furnished
as
before
.
At
my
comming
vnto
the
litle
riuer
,
we
found
his
subiects
there
,
which
failed
not
to
come
thither
,
with
some
quantitie
of
bread
,
beanes
,
and
fish
,
to
giue
my
soldiers
.
Neuertheles
returning
agayne
to
Vtina
,
being
sixe
french
leagues
distant
from
thence
.
There
he
went
on
shore
,
put
his
men
in
good
array
,
and
drewe
streight
towards
the
great
house
that
was
the
kinges
,
where
the
chiefe
men
of
the
countrie
were
assembled
,
which
caused
very
great
store
of
victuals
to
be
brought
now
one
&
then
another
,
in
doing
wherof
they
spent
notwithstanding
thrée
or
foure
dayes
:
in
which
meane
while
they
gathered
men
together
to
set
vpon
vs
in
our
retreite
.
They
vsed
therfore
many
means
to
hold
vs
still
in
breath
.
De
Ottigny
.
That
he
also
called
to
mind
,
that
euen
while
he
was
prisoner
,
at
what
time
our
men
ledde
him
into
his
countrie
to
obtaine
some
victuals
,
hee
saw
along
the
high
waies
arrows
stucke
vp
,
at
the
ends
whereof
Vtina
,
they
hearde
the
voyce
of
one
of
my
men
,
which
during
the
voyage
had
alwayes
beene
among
the
Indians
,
and
whome
as
yet
they
woulde
neuer
render
,
vntil
they
had
gotten
their
pledges
home
.
This
poore
fellowe
cryed
out
a
mayne
,
because
two
Indians
would
haue
carried
him
into
the
woods
to
haue
cut
his
throate
:
whereupon
hee
was
succoured
and
deliuered
.
These
admonitions
being
well
vnderstoode
,
and
after
ripe
deliberation
thereof
Mounsieur
,
de
Ottigny
resolued
to
retire
himselfe
the
seauen
and
twentieth
of
Iuly
.
Wherefore
he
set
his
soldiers
in
order
,
and
deliuered
to
ech
of
them
a
sacke
full
of
myl
:
and
afterward
he
marched
toward
his
barkes
,
thinking
to
preuent
the
enterprise
of
the
sauages
.
There
is
at
the
De
Arlac
myne
ensigne
to
march
somwhat
before
with
eight
harquebusiers
to
discouer
whether
there
were
any
danger
:
besides
he
commanded
one
of
my
sergeants
and
corporalles
to
march
on
the
out
side
of
the
alley
with
foure
harquebusiers
while
hee
himselfe
conducted
the
rest
of
his
companie
through
it
.
Nowe
as
he
suspected
,
so
it
fell
out
:
for
Mounsieur
de
Arlac
mette
with
two
or
thrée
hundred
Indians
at
the
ende
of
the
alley
,
which
saluted
him
with
an
infinite
De
Ottigny
so
well
discharged
his
duetie
,
as
was
possible
for
a
good
Captaine
to
doe
.
And
so
it
stoode
them
vpon
:
for
he
had
to
deale
with
such
kinde
of
men
,
as
knew
well
how
to
fight
&
to
obey
their
heade
which
conducted
them
,
and
which
knewe
so
well
to
behaue
themselues
in
this
conflict
,
as
if
Ottigny
had
not
preuented
their
practise
,
he
had
beéne
in
danger
to
haue
beéne
defeated
.
Satourioua
,
Appolou
,
and
Tacadocorou
,
which
were
there
assembled
to
make
merrie
:
because

in
this
place
are
the
fairest
maides
&
women
of
al
the
countrey
.
Captaine
Vasseur
in
my
Iohn
de
Hais
,
Master
carpenter
,
a
man
very
worthie
of
his
vocation
,
repaired
vnto
me
,
and
tolde
me
that
by
reason
of
want
of
men
hee
was
not
able
to
make
me
vp
the
ship
against
the
time
that
hee
had
promised
mee
:
which
speach
caused
such
a
mutinie
among
the
soldiers
that
verie
hardly
he
escaped
killing
:
howbeit
I
appeased
them
aswell
as
I
could
,
and
determined
to
worke
no
more
from
thence
foorth
vpon
the
shippe
,
but
to
content
our selues
to
repaire
the
Brigantine
which
I
had
.
So
we
beganne
to
beate
downe
all
Vtina
,
had
not
fallen
out
,
neither
shoulde
we
haue
had
occasion
to
offend
the
Indians
,
which
with
al
paines
in
the
world
I
entertayned
in
good
amitie
,
aswell
with
marchandise
and
apparell
,
as
with
promise
of
greater
matters
,
and
with
whome
I
so
behaued
my selfe
,
that
although
sometimes
I
was
constrayned
to
take
victuals
in
some
fewe
villages
,
yet
I
lost
Martine
Atinas
of
Diepe
,
which
at
that
time
was
in
their
seruice
,
which
on
the
behalfe
of
Maister
Iohn
Hawkins
their
generall
came
to
request
mee
that
I
woulde
suffer
them
to
take
fresh
water
,
whereof
they
stood
in
great
neéde
,
signifiyng
vnto
me
that
they
had
beene
aboue
fifteéne
daies
on
the
coast
to
get
some
.
He
brought
vnto
me
from
the
generall
two
flacons
of
wine
,
and
bread
made
of
wheate
:
whichich
greatly
refreshed
me
,
forasmuch
as
for
seuen
moneths
space
I
neuer
tasted
a
droppe
of
wine
:
neuerthelesse
it
was
all
diuided
among
the
greatest
part
of
my
souldyers
.
This
Martine
Atinas
had
guided
the
Englishmen
vnto
our
coast
,
wherewith
he
was
acquainted
:
for
in
the
yeare
1562.
he
came
thither
with
mee
,
and
therefore
the
generall
sent
him
to
mee
.
Therefore
after
I
had
graunted
his
request
,
he
signified
the
same
vnto
the
generall
,
which
the
next
day
following
caused
one
of
his
small
shippes
to
enter
into
the
ryuer
,
and
came
to
seé
me
in
a
great
shipboate
,
accompanied
with
gentlemen
honourably
apparelled
,
yet
vnarmed
.
Hee
sent
for
great
store
of
bread
and
wine
,
to
distribute
thereof
to
euery
one
:
On
my
part
I
made
him
the
best
cheére
I
could
possibly
,
and
caused
certaine
Vasseur
,
Captaine
Verdier
,
and
Trenchant
the
Pilot
,
and
my
Sergeant
,
all
men
of
experience
in
such
affaires
and
knowing
sufficiently
how
to
driue
such
a
bargaine
.
We
therefore
tooke
a
viewe
of
the
shippe
which
the
Generall
would
sell
,
whom
we
drewe
to
such
reason
,
that
he
was
content
to
stand
vnto
mine
owne
mens
iudgement
,
who
esteemed
it
to
be
worth
seuen
hundred
crowns
,
wherof
we
agreéd
very
friendly
.
Wherfore
I
deliuered
him
in
earnest
of
the
summe
,
two
bastards
,
two
mynions
,
one
thousand
of
iron
,
and
one
thousand
of
powder
.
This
bargaine
thus
made
▪
he
considered
the
necessity
wherein
we
were
,
hauing
for
all
our
sustenance
but
myl
&
water
:
whereupon
The
end
of
the
second
voyage
.
THE
THIRD
VOYAGE
of
the
French
men
made
by
Captayne
IOHN
RIBAVLT
vnto
FLORIDA
.
AS
I
was
thus
occupied
in
these
conferences
,
the
Vasseur
,
which
commaunded
in
one
of
my
shippes
,
and
Captaine
Verdier
,
which
was
chiefe
in
the
other
,
now
readye
to
goe
foorth
,
began
to
discrye
certayne
sayles
at
sea
,
whereof
they
aduertised
me
with
diligence
:
whereupon
I
appointed
to
arme
foorth
a
beat
in
good
order
to
goe
to
descrye
and
know
what
they
were
.
I
sent
also
to
the
centinels
,
which
I
caused
to
be
kept
on
a
little
knappe
,
to
cause
certayne
men
to
clymbe
vp
to
the
top
of
the
highest
trées
Ribault
,
I
had
not
fayled
to
haue
discharged
the
same
vpon
them
.
Afterward
I
vnderstood
that
the
cause
why
they
entered
in
this
manner
,
procéeded
of
the
false
reportes
Athenians
,
which
by
this
meane
was
cast
into
banishment
,
whereupon
his
Citizens
felt
the
smart
of
an
infinite
number
of
mischiefes
:
insomuch
as
in
the
end
they
were
constrained
to
call
him
home
againe
,
and
acknowledge
at
length
the
fault
they
had
committed
in
forgetting
his
good
seruices
,
&
rather
beleeuing
a
false
report
,
then
hauing
had
regarde
vnto
so
many
notable
exploytes
which
in
former
time
he
had
atchieued
.
But
that
I
loose
not
my selfe
in
digressing
so
far
in
this
my
iustification
,
I
wil
returne
againe
to
my
first
course
.
Being
therefore
aduertised
that
it
was
Captayne
Ribault
,
I
went
Iohn
Ribault
,
&
going
both
of
vs
aside
together
out
of
y●
for
t
,
he
signified
vnto
me
the
charge
which
he
had
,
praying
me
not
to
returne
into
France
,
but
to
stay
with
him
my selfe
&
my
company
,
&
assured
me
that
he
would
make
it
well
thought
of
at
home
.
Whereupon
I
replied
that
out
of
this
place
I
woulde
doe
him
all
seruice
:
that
for
the
present
I
could
not
nor
ought
not
accept
this
offer
,
since
he
was
come
for
no
other
intent
then
to
occupie
the
place
which
I
before
possessed
:
that
I
could
haue
no
credit
to
be
there
commanded
:
that
my
friendes
would
neuer
like
of
it
,
and
that
hee
woulde
hardly
giue
me
that
counsaile
,
if
in
good
earnest
I
should
demaund
his
aduise
therein
.
He
made
me
aunswere
,
that
he
would
not
commaund
me
,
that
we
should
be
companions
,
and
that
he
would
builde
another
fortresse
,
&
that
he
would
leaue
mine
owne
vnto
mee
.
This
notwithstanding
I
fully
aduertised
hym
,
that
I
coulde
not
receaue
a
greater
comfort
then
the
newes
which
he
brought
me
to
returne
into
France
:
&
farther
that
though
I
should
stay
there
,
yet
it
must
néeds
be
y●
one
of
vs
both
was
to
commaund
with
title
of
the
kings
Lieutenant
,
that
this
could
not
wel
agrée
together
:
that
I
had
rather
haue
it
cast
in
my
teéth
to
bee
the
poorest
begger
in
the
worlde
,
then
to
bee
commaunded
in
that
place
,
where
I
had
endured
so
much
to
inhabite
&
plant
there
,
if
it
were
not
by
some
great
Lord
or
Knyght
of
the
order
:
and
that
in
these
respectes
I
prayed
hym
verye
hartily
to
deliuer
me
the
Letters
which
my
Lorde
Admiral
had
written
vnto
mee
,
which
hee
perfourmed
.
The
contents
of
those
letters
was
this
.
CAptaine
Laudonniere
,
because
some
of
them
which
are
returned
from
Florida
speake
indifferently
of
the
Countrye
,
And
in
a
postscript
of
the
letter
was
thus
written
.
Thinke
not
,
that
whereas
I
send
for
you
,
it
is
for
any
euill
opinion
or
mistrust
that
I
haue
of
you
,
but
that
it
is
for
your
good
and
for
your
credit
,
and
assure
your selfe
that
during
my
life
you
shall
find
me
your
good
Master
.
Chastillon
.
Nowe
after
I
had
longe
discoursed
with
Captaine
Ribault
,
Captayne
la
Grange
accosted
me
,
and
told
me
of
an
infinite
sight
of
false
reportes
which
had
beéne
made
of
me
to
my
great
hinderaunce
:
and
among
other
thinges
he
informed
me
,
that
my
Lord
Homoloa
,
Sarauahi
,
Alimacani
,
Malica
,
and
Casti
,
Apalassy
,
Sieroa
Pira
,
which
is
asmuch
to
say
,
as
redde
mettell
,
whereof
I
had
a
peéce
,
which
at
the
verie
instant
I
shewed
to
Captaine
Ribault
,
which
caused
his
gold-finer
to
make
an
assay
thereof
,
which
reported
vnto
him
that
it
was
perfect
golde
.
About
the
time
of
these
conferences
,
Seloy
,
which
we
call
Dolphins
,
&
the
other
three
remained
in
the
rode
,
farther
,
that
they
had
put
their
soldiers
,
their
victuals
&
munition
on
land
.
After
he
vnderstood
these
newes
he
returned
to
the
fortresse
,
&
came
to
my
chamber
where
I
was
sicke
,
&
there
in
the
presence
of
the
captaines
,
La
Grange
,
S.
Marie
,
Ottigny
,
Visty
,
Yonuille
,
&
other
gentlemen
,
he
propounded
,
that
it
was
necessarie
for
the
kings
seruice
,
to
embark
himself
with
al
his
forces
,
&
with
y●
three
ships
that
were
in
the
rode
to
seéke
the
Spanish
fleéte
,
whereupon
he
asked
our
aduise
.
I
first
replyed
,
and
shewed
vnto
him
the
consequence
of
such
an
enterprise
,
aduertising
him
among
other
thinges
of
Saint
Marie
,
and
La
Grange
declared
vnto
him
farther
,
that
they
thought
it
not
good
to
put
any
such
enterprise
in
execution
,
that
it
was
farre
better
to
keépe
the
lande
,
and
doe
their
best
endeuour
to
fortifie
themselues
:
And
that
after
that
the
Trinitie
(
which
was
the
principall
shippe
)
were
returned
,
there
woulde
be
much
more
likelihood
to
enterprise
this
voyage
.
This
notwithstanding
he
resolued
to
vndertake
it
,
and
that
which
more
is
,
after
he
vnderstoode
by
king
Emola
,
one
of
our
neighbours
Seloy
,
in
the
most
part
whereof
they
De
Lys
should
stay
behind
to
looke
to
al
things
.
Then
I
shewed
vnto
him
that
he
was
chiefe
in
this
countrey
,
and
that
I
for
my
part
had
no
farther
authoritie
:
that
therefore
hee
would
take
good
aduisement
what
he
did
,
for
feare
least
some
inconuenience
might
ensue
.
Then
he
tolde
me
that
he
coulde
doe
no
lesse
,
then
to
continue
this
enterprise
,
and
that
in
the
letter
which
he
had
receyued
from
my
Lorde
Admirall
,
there
was
a
Captaine
Iohn
Ribault
,
as
I
was
enclosing
vp
this
letter
,
I
receaued
a
certayne
aduice
,
that
Don
Pedro
Melendes
departeth
from
Spaine
to
goe
to
the
coaste
of
Newe
Fraunce
:
see
you
that
you
suffer
him
not
to
encroch
vppon
you
,
no
more
then
he
would
that
you
should
encroch
vpon
him
.
You
seé
,
(
quoth
he
)
the
charge
that
I
haue
,
and
I
leaue
it
vnto
your selfe
to
iudge
if
you
could
doe
any
lesse
in
this
case
,
considering
the
certayne
aduertisment
that
we
haue
,
that
they
are
already
on
lande
,
and
will
inuade
vs
.
This
stopped
my
mouth
.
Thus
therefore
confirmed
or
rather
obstinate
in
this
enterprise
,
and
hauing
regard
rather
vnto
his
particular
opinion
then
vnto
the
aduertismentes
which
I
had
giuen
him
,
&
the
inconueniences
of
the
time
whereof
I
had
forewarned
him
,
hee
embarked
himselfe
the
eighth
of
Grange
,
which
liked
not
very
well
of
this
enterprise
,
was
vnto
the
tenth
La
Grange
was
come
vnto
him
:
Who
being
come
aborde
they
set
sayle
altogether
,
and
from
that
time
forwarde
I
neuer
Du
Lys
vnto
me
,
to
take
order
to
assemble
the
rest
of
our
people
to
declare
vnto
them
what
neéde
we
had
to
fortifie
our
felues
:
which
was
done
accordingly
:
and
then
I
gaue
them
to
vnderstande
the
necessitie
and
inconueniences
whereinto
we
were
like
to
fall
,
aswell
by
the
absence
of
our
ships
,
as
by
the
neérenes
of
the
Spaniards
,
at
whose
hands
we
could
looke
for
no
lesse
then
an
open
and
sufficient
proclamed
warre
,
seéing
they
had
taken
lande
and
forcified
themselues
so
néere
vnto
vs
.
And
if
any
misfortune
were
fallen
vnto
our
men
which
were
at
sea
,
we
ought
to
make
a
full
accompt
with
ourselues
that
we
were
to
endure
many
great
miseries
,
being
in
so
small
number
,
and
so
many
wayes
afflicted
as
we
were
.
Thus
euerie
one
promised
me
to
take
paynes
:
and
therefore
considering
that
their
proportion
of
victuals
was
small
,
and
that
so
continuing
,
they
would
not
be
able
to
doe
any
great
worke
,
I
augmented
their
allowance
:
although
that
after
the
arriuall
of
captayne
Ribault
my
portion
of
vituacls
was
allotted
vnto
mee
as
Ribault
,
there
was
a
Carpenter
of
threéscore
yeares
olde
,
one
a
beérebrewer
,
one
olde
Crosse-bowe
maker
,
two
shoemakers
,
and
foure
or
fiue
men
that
had
their
wiues
,
a
player
on
the
Virginals
,
two
seruants
of
Monsieur
Du
Lys
,
one
of
Monsieur
De
Beauhaire
,
one
of
Monsieur
De
la
Grange
,
and
about
fourescore
and
fiue
or
sixe
in
all
,
counting
aswell
Lackeys
Vtina
.
This
viewe
beéing
thus
taken
,
we
set
our
watches
,
whereof
wee
made
two
centinels
,
that
the
soldiers
might
haue
one
night
free
.
Then
we
bethought
our selues
of
those
which
might
bee
most
sufficient
,
among
whome
wee
chose
two
,
one
of
whom
was
named
Monsieur
Saint
Cler
,
and
the
other
Monsieur
De
la
Vigne
,
to
whom
we
deliuered
candles
and
Lanterns
to
go
round
about
the
fort
to
viewe
the
watch
because
of
the
foule
and
foggie
weather
.
I
deliuered
them
also
a
sandglasse
or
clocke
that
the
centinels
might
not
be
troubled
more
one
then
the
other
.
In
the
meane
while
I
ceased
not
,
for
all
the
fowle
weather
nor
my
sickenesse
which
I
had
,
to
ouerseé
the
corps
de
garde
.
The
night
betweene
the
ninetenth
and
twentieth
of
September
La
Vigne
kept
watch
with
his
companie
,
wherein
hee
vsed
all
endeuour
although
it
rayned
without
ceasing
.
When
the
day
was
therefore
come
,
and
that
hee
sawe
that
it
rayned
still
worse
then
it
did
before
,
hee
pitied
the
centinelles
so
too
moyled
and
wette
:
and
thinking
the
Spaniardes
woulde
not
haue
come
in
such
a
strange
time
,
hee
let
them
depart
,
and
,
to
say
the
trueth
,
hee
went
himselfe
vnto
his
lodging
.
In
the
meane
while
one
which
had
something
to
doe
without
the
fort
,
and
my
trompet
which
went
vp
vnto
the
Francis
Iean
,
which
was
one
of
the
marriners
which
stoale
away
my
barkes
,
&
had
guided
&
conducted
the
Spaniards
thither
.
Assoone
as
he
saw
me
,
he
began
to
say
,
This
is
the
Captaine
.
This
troupe
was
led
by
Don
Pedro
Melendes
:
these
made
certaine
pushes
at
me
with
their
pikes
which
lighted
on
my
target
.
But
perceauing
that
I
was
not
able
to
withstand
so
great
a
companie
,
&
that
the
court
was
already
wonne
,
&
their
ensignes
planted
on
the
ramparts
,
and
that
I
had
neuer
a
man
about
me
,
sauing
one
onely
whose
name
was
Bartholomew
,
I
entred
into
the
yard
of
my
lodging
,
into
which
they
followed
me
,
and
had
it
not
beéne
for
a
tent
that
was
set
vp
,
I
had
beéne
taken
:
but
the
Spaniards
which
followed
me
were
occupied
in
cutting
of
the
Cordes
of
the
tent
,
and
in
the
meane
while
I
saued
my selfe
by
the
breach
which
was
on
the
west
side
neére
vnto
my
Lieutenantes
Iohn
du
Chemin
:
Iohn
de
Hais
,
master
Carpenter
,
which
fled
vnto
them
in
a
shallop
,
they
had
set
sayle
to
runne
along
the
coast
to
sée
if
they
might
saue
any
:
wherein
doubtlesse
they
did
very
well
le
Beau.
After
we
were
all
come
to
the
ships
,
I
comforted
them
aswell
as
I
coulde
,
and
sent
backe
the
boate
againe
with
speéde
to
seé
if
they
coulde
finde
yet
any
more
.
Vpon
her
returne
,
the
Mariners
told
me
how
that
Captaine
Iames
Ribault
Francis
Iean
came
vnto
his
shippe
,
where
he
staied
a
long
space
,
whereat
they
greatly
maruailed
,
considering
that
hee
was
the
cause
of
this
enterprise
,
how
he
would
let
him
escape
.
After
I
was
come
into
the
ship
called
the
Greyhounde
,
Captain
Iames
Ribault
&
Captain
Valuot
came
to
see
me
:
and
there
wee
concluded
to
returne
into
France
.
Nowe
forasmuch
as
I
founde
the
shippe
vnfurnished
of
Captaine
,
Pilot
,
Master
,
and
Masters-mate
,
I
gaue
aduise
to
choose
out
one
of
the
most
able
men
among
all
the
Mariners
,
and
that
by
their
owne
voices
.
I
tooke
also
sixe
men
out
of
another
small
shippe
,
which
wee
had
sunke
because
it
wanted
ballast
and
coulde
not
be
saued
.
Thus
I
encreased
the
furniture
of
the
ship
wherein
I
was
my selfe
embarked
,
and
made
one
,
which
had
beéne
Masters-mate
in
the
foresaid
small
shippe
,
Master
of
mine
.
And
because
I
lacked
a
Pilot
,
I
praied
Iames
Ribault
that
heé
would
graunt
me
one
of
the
foure
men
that
he
had
in
his
shippe
,
which
I
should
name
vnto
him
,
to
serue
me
for
a
Pilot
:
he
promised
to
giue
me
them
,
which
neuerthelesse
he
did
not
at
the
instant
Iames
Ribault
had
taken
away
her
furniture
:
I
tooke
away
her
ordinance
onely
,
which
was
all
dismounted
,
whereof
I
gaue
nine
pieces
to
Iames
Ribault
to
carrye
into
France
,
the
other
fiue
I
put
into
my
shippe
.
The
fiue
and
twentieth
of
September
wee
sette
sayles
to
returne
into
France
,
and
Iohn
Ribault
and
I
kept
companye
all
that
daye
and
the
next
vntill
three
or
foure
a
clocke
in
the
after
noone
:
but
because
his
shippe
was
better
at
bowling
then
ours
,
he
kept
him
to
the
wind
and
left
vs
the
same
day
.
Thus
we
continued
our
voyage
,
wherein
we
had
maruelous
flawes
of
winde
.
And
about
the
eight
and
twentieth
of
October
in
the
morning
at
the
breake
of
Flores
,
one
of
the
Assores
,
where
immediatly
vpon
our
approching
to
the
lande
we
had
a
mighty
gust
of
winde
which
came
from
the
Northeast
,
which
caused
vs
to
beare
against
it
foure
daies
:
afterwarde
the
winde
came
South
&
Southeast
,
&
was
alwaies
variable
.
In
all
the
time
of
our
passage
wee
had
none
other
foode
sauing
Biscuit
and
water
.
About
the
tenth
or
eleuenth
of
Nouember
,
after
wee
had
sailed
a
longe
Swansey
,
where
I
found
Marchants
Malo
,
which
lent
me
money
,
wherewith
I
made
certaine
apparell
for
my selfe
and
part
of
my
company
that
was
with
me
:
and
because
there
were
no
victuals
in
the
shippe
I
bought
two
Oxen
,
and
salted
them
,
and
a
tonne
of
Beere
,
which
I
deliuered
into
his
handes
which
had
charge
of
the
shippe
,
praying
him
to
carrie
it
into
France
,
which
he
promised
me
to
doe
:
for
mine
own
part
I
purposed
with
my
men
to
passe
by
land
,
&
after
I
had
taken
leaue
of
my
Mariners
,
I
departed
from
Swansey
,
and
came
that
night
with
my
company
to
a
place
called
Morgan
,
where
the
de
Foix
,
which
for
the
present
was
the
kings
Ambassadour
,
&
holpe
me
with
money
in
my
necessitie
.
From
thence
I
passed
to
Calis
,
afterward
to
Paris
,
where
I
was
infourmed
that
the
king
was
gone
to
Moulins
to
sotourne
there
:
incontinently
,
&
with
all
the
hast
I
could
possibly
make
,
I
gate
me
thither
with
part
of
my
company
.
Thus
briefly
you
see
the
discourse
of
all
that
happened
new
France
since
the
time
it
pleased
the
kings
Maiestie
to
send
his
subiects
thither
to
discouer
those
parts
.
The
indifferent
&
vnpassionate
readers
may
easily
weigh
the
truth
of
my
doings
,
&
be
vpright
iudges
of
the
endeuour
which
I
there
vsed
.
For
mine
owne
part
I
will
not
accuse
nor
excuse
any
:
it
sufficeth
me
to
haue
folowed
the
truth
of
the
history
,
whereof
many
are
able
to
beare
witnes
,
which
were
there
present
.
I
will
plainly
say
one
thing
,
That
the
long
delay
that
Captaine
Iohn
Ribault
vsed
in
his
embarking
,
&
the
fifteen
daies
that
he
spent
in
rouing
along
the
coast
of
Florida
before
he
came
to
our
fort
Caroline
,
were
the
cause
of
the
losse
that
we
sustained
.
For
he
discouered
the
coast
the
fourteénth
of
August
,
&
spent
the
time
in
going
from
riuer
to
riuer
,
which
had
beén
sufficient
for
him
to
haue
discharged
his
ships
in
,
&
for
me
to
haue
embarked
my selfe
to
returne
into
France
.
I
wote
well
that
all
that
hee
did
was
vpon
a
good
intent
:
yet
in
mine
opinion
he
should
haue
had
more
regard
vnto
his
charge
,
then
to
the
deuises
of
his
owne
braine
,
which
sometimes
he
printed
in
his
head
so
deépely
that
it
was
very
hard
to
put
them
out
:
which
also
turned
to
his
vtter
vndoing
:
for
hee
was
no
sooner
departed
from
vs
,
but
a
tempest
tooke
him
,
which
in
fine
wrackt
him
vppon
the

end
