resolution to ioyne in sending forth a new supply which was accordingly performed But the Ships arriuing there did not only bring vncomfortable newes of the death of the Lord Chiefe Iustice together with the death of Sir Iohn Gilbert the elder brother vnto Captaine Rawley Gilbert who at that time was President of that Councell But found that the old Captaine Popham was also dead who was the onely man indeed that died there that Winter wherein they indured the greater excremities for that in the depth thereof their lodgings and stores were burnt and they thereby wondrously distressed This calamitie and euill newes together with the resolution that Captaine Gilbert was forced to take for his owne returne in that hee was to succeed his brother in the inheritance of his lands in England made the whole company to resolue vpon nothing but their returne with the Ships and for that present to leaue the Countrey againe hauing in the time of their abode there notwithstanding the coldnesse of the season and the small helpe they had built a prettie Barke of their owne which serued them to good purpose as easing them in their returning The arriuall of these people heere in England was a wonderfull discouragement to all the first vndertakers in so much as there was no more speech of setling any other plantation in those parts for a long time after only Sir Francis Popham hauing the Ships and prouision which remained of the company and supplying what was necessary for his purpose sent diuers times to the coasts for trade and fishing of whose losse or gaines himselfe is best able to giue account Our people abandoning the plantation in this sort as you haue heard the Frenchmen immediately tooke the opportunitie to settle themselues within our limits which being heard of by those of Virginia that discreetly tooke to their consideration the inconueniences that might arise by suffering them to harbour there they dispatched Sir Samuel Argall with commission to displace them which hee performed with much discretion iudgement valour and dexteritie For hauing seized their Forts which they had built at Mount Mansell Saint Croix and Port Reall he carryed away their Ordnance hee also surprised their Ship Cattle and other prouisions which hee transported to the Collonie in Virginia to their great benefit And hereby he hath made a way for the present hopefull plantation to bee made in Noua-Scotia which we heare his Maiestie hath lately granted to Sir William Alexander Knight one of his Maiesties most honourable Councell of the Kingdome of Scotland to bee held of the said Crowne and that not without some of our priuities as by approbation vnder writing may and doth appeare Whereby it is manifest that wee are so farre from making a Monopoly of all those lands belonging to that coast as hath beene scandalously by some obiected That we wish that many would vndertake the like In this Interim there were of vs who apprehenedd better hopes of good that might ensue by this attempt being thereunto perswaded both by the relations of our people that had indured the many difficulties whereunto such actions are subiected chiefly in the Winter season and likewise by the informations giuen them by certaine of the Natiues that had beene kept a long time in their hands wherefore we resolued once more to trie the veritie thereof and to see if possibly we might finde something that might induce a fresh resolution to prosecute a worke so pious and so honourable And thereupon they dispatched Captaine Hotson of the I le of Wight together with Captaine Herley Master Iohn Matthew Master Sturton with two Saluages the one called Epenow the other Manawet with commission and directions fit for them to obserue and follow the better to bring to passe what was expected But as in all humane affaires there is nothing more certaine then the vncertaintie thereof so fell it out in this for a little before such time as they arriued vpon the coast with the foresaid Sauages who were Naturalls of those parts it happened there had beene one Hunt a worthlesse fellow of our Nation set out by certaine Merchants for loue of gaine who not content with the commoditie he had by the fish and peaceable trade he found among the Sauages after hee had made his dispatch and was ready to set sayle more sauage-like then they seized vpon the poore innocent creatures that in confidence of his honestie had put themselues into his hands And stowing them vnder hatches to the number of twnety foure carried them into the Straights where hee sought to sell them for slaues and sold as many as he could get money for But when it was vnderstood from whence they were brought the Friers of those parts tooke the rest from them and kept them to be instructed in the Christian Faith and so disappointed this vnworthy fellow of the hopes of gaine he conceiued to make by this new diuellish project This being knowne by our two Saluages formerly spoken of they presently contracted such an hatred against our whole Nation as they immediatly studied how to be reuenged and contriued with their friends the best meanes to bring it to passe but Manawet dying in a short time after the Ships arriuall there and the other obseruing the good order and strong guard our people kept studied only how to free himselfe out of our hands and thereupon laid the plot very orderly and indeed effected his purpose although with so great hazard to himselfe and friends that laboured his rescue that Captaine Hobson and his whole company imagined he had beene slaine And though in the recouery of his body they wounded the Master of our Ship and diuers other of our company yet was not their designe without the slaughter of some of their people and the hurts of other compassed as appeared afterward Hereupon Captaine Hobson and his companie conceiuing the end of their attempt to bee frustrace resolued without more adoe to returne and so those hopes that charge and voyage was lost also for they brought home nothing but the newes of their euill successe of the vnfortunate cause thereof and of a warre now new begunne betweene the inhabitants of those parts and vs. A miserable comfort for so weake meanes as were now left to pursue the conclusion of so tedious an enterprise While this was a working wee found the meanes to send out Captaine Iohn Smith from Plymouth in a ship together with Master Darmer and diuers others with him to lay the foundation of a new Plantation and to try the fishing of that Coast and to seeke to settle a trade with the Natiues But such was his misfortune as being scarce free of our owne Coast he had his masts shaken ouer boord by stormes and tempests his ship wonderfully distressed and in that extremity forced to come backe againe so as the season of the yeere being almost spent we were of necessitie enforced to furnish him with another ship and taking out the
