at the biggest end which is flat one putteth some grease to it mingled with butter then all the sailes are stricken downe and the sound cast and when that the bottome is felt and the lead draweth no more line they leaue off leting downe of it So our sound being drawen vp brought with it some small stones with a white one and a peece of shell hauing moreouer a pit in the grease whereby they iudged that the bottome was a rocke I cannot expresse the Ioy that we had seeing vs there where we had so much desired to be There was not any one of vs more sicke euery one did leape for Ioy and did seeme vnto vs to be in our owne country though we were come but to the halse of our voyage at least for the time that passed before we came to Port Royall whther we were bound Heere I will before I proceed any further decipher vnto you what meaneth this word Bancke which paraduenture putteth some in paine to know what it is They somtimes call Banckes a sandy bottome which is very shallow or which is a drie at low water Such places be mortall for ships that meete with them But the Bancke whereof we speake are mountaines grounded in the depth of the waters which are raised vp to 30. 36. and 40. fadams neere to the vpper face of the sea This Bancke is holden to be of 200. leagues in lenght and 18. 20. and 24. leagues broad which being passed there is no more bottome found out then in these parts vntill one come to the land The ships being there arriued the sailes are rowled vp and there fishing is made of the greene fish as I haue said whereof we shall speake in the booke following For the satisfying of my reader I haue drawen it in my Geography call Map of New-found-land with prickes which is all may be done to represent it There is farther off other banckes as I haue marked in the said Map vpon the which good fishing may be made and many goe thither that know the places When that we parted from Rochel there was as it were a forrest of ships lying at Chef de Bois whereof that place hath taken his name which went all in a company to that country preuenting vs in their going but onely of two daies Hauing seene and noted the Bancke wee hoisted vp sailes and bare all night keeping still our course to the West But the dawne of day being come which was Saint Iohn Baptists Eue in Gods name we pulled downe sailes passing that day a fishing of Cod-fish with a thousand mirthes and contentments by reason of fresh meates whereof we had asmuch as we would hauing long before wished for them Monsieur De Poutrincourt and a yong man of Retel named Le Feure who by reason of the sea-sicknesse were not come out from their beds nor cabanes from the beginning of the Nauigation came vpon the hatches that day and had the pleasure not onely of fishing of Cod but also of those birds that bee called by French mariners Happe-foyes that is to say Liuer-catchers because of their greedinesse to deuour the liuers of the Cod-fishes that are cast into the sea after their bellies bee opened whereof they are so couetous that though they see a great powle ouer their heads ready to strike them downe yet they aduenture themselues to come neere to the ship to catch some of them at what price soeuer And they which were not occupied in fishing did passe their time in that sport And so did they by their diligence that wee tooke some thirty of them But in this action one of our shipwrights fell downe in the sea And it was good for him that the ship went but slow which gaue him meanes to saue himselfe by taking hold of the rudder from which he was pulled in a boord but for his paines was well beaten by Captaine Foulques In this fishing we sometimes did take sea-dogges whose skinnes our Ioyners did keepe carefully to smooth their worke withall Item fishes called by Frenchmen Merlus which be better then Cod and sometimes another kinde of fish called Bars which diuersity did augment our delight They which were not busie in taking neither fishes nor birdes did passe their time in gathering the hearts guts and other inward parts most delicate of the Cod-fish which they did mince with lard and spices and with those things did make as good Bolonia sausiges as any can be made in Paris and we did eat of them with a very good stomacke On the euening we made ready to continue our course hauing first made our Canons to roare as well because of Saint Iohn his holy day as for Monsieur De Poutrincourts sake which beareth the name of that Saint The next day some of our men tolde vs they had seene a Bancke of Ice And thereupon was recited vnto vs how that the yeare before a ship of Olone was cast away by approaching too neere to it and that two men hauing saued themselues vpon the Ice had this good fortune that another ship passing by the men tooke them in aboord them It is to be noted that from the 18. of Iune vntill wee did arriue at Port Royall we haue found the weather quite otherwise to that we had before For as we haue already said we had colde mistes or fogges before our comming to the Bancke where we came in faire sunshine but the next day we fell to the fogges againe which a far off we might perceiue to come and wrappe vs about holding vs continually prisoners three whole daies for two daies of faire weather that they permitted vs which was alwaies accompanied with colde by reason of the Summers absence Yea euen diuers times wee haue seene our selues a whole sennight continually in thicke fogges twice without any shew of Sunne but very little as I will recite heereafter And I will bring foorth a reason for such effects which seemeth vnto me probable As wee see the fire to draw the moistnesse of a wet cloath opposite vnto it likewise the sunne draweth moistnesse and vapours both from the sea and from the land But for the dissoluing of them there is heere one vertue and beyond those parts another according to the accidents and circumstances that are found In these our countries it raiseth vp vapours onely from the ground and from our riuers which earthly vapours grosse and waighty and participating lesse of the moist ellement doe cause vs a hot aire and the earth discharged of those vapours becomes thereby more hot and parching From thence it commeth that the said vapors hauing the earth of the one part and the Sunne on the other which heateth them they are easily dissolued not remaining long in the aire vnlesse it be in winter when the earth is waxen colde and the Sunne beyond the Equinoctiall line farre off from vs. From the same reason proceedeth the cause why mistes and
in the mouth against the Squinancie and against the biting of serpents It hath long leaues drawing in colour to a dark greene and produceth a black roote from which liquor is drawen as well as from the leaf Strabo saith that the like case hapned to the army that Aelius Gallus brought into Arabia by the commission of Augustus the Emperor And the like also chanced to king S. Lewes his armie in Egypt as the Lord de Ioinuille reporteth Other effects of bad waters are seene neere vnto vs to wit in Sauoy where the women more than men because they are of a colder constitution haue commonly swellings in their throats as bigge as bottels Next to waters the aire is also one of the fathers and ingenderes of this sicknes in boggy and watrish places and opposit to the South which is most often rainy But there is yet in New France another bad quality of the aire by reason of lakes that be thicke there and of the great rottennes in the woods whose odour the bodies hauing drawen vp during the raines of Autumne and winter easily are ingendred the corruptions of the mouth and swelling in the legges before spoken and a cold entreth vnsensibly into it which benummeth the limbes stifneth the sinewes constraineth to creepe with cruches and in the end to keepe the bed And for as much as the windes doe participate with the aire yea are an aire running with a more vehement force than ordinary and in this quality haue great power ouer the health and sicknesses of men we will speake some thing of it not for all that straying ourselues from the sequell of our historie The Easterly winde called by the Latins Subsolanus is held for the healthfullest of all and for that cause wise builders giue aduice to set their buildings towards the aspect of the East The opposit to it is the winde called Fauorinus or Zephirus which our Sea-men doe name West which in these parts is milde fructifying The Southern winde called Auster by the Latines is in Affrica hot and drie But in crossing the Mediterranian sea it gathereth a great moistnes which maketh it stormy and putrifying in Prouence and Languedoc The opposite to it is the Northern winde otherwise called Boreas Bize Tramontane which is colde and drie chaseth the cloudes and sweepeth the airie region It is taken for the holsommest next to the East winde But these qualities of the winde found and noted in these parts make not one generall rule thorow ouer all the earth For the North-winde beyond the Equinoctiall line is not colde as in these parts nor the South-winde hot because that by a long crossing they borrow the qualities of the regions thorow which they passe besides that the South-winde at his first issue is cooling according to the report of those that haue trauelled in Affrica In like maner there be regions in Perou as in Lima and the plaines where the North-winde is vnholsome and noysome And thorow all that coast which is aboue 500. leagues in length they take the South-winde for a sound and fresh cooling winde and which more is most milde and pleasant yea also that it doth neuer raine by it according to that which Ioseph Acosta writeth of it cleane contrary to that we see in this our part of Europe And in Spaine the East-winde which we haue said to be sound the same Acosta saith that it is noisome and vnsound The winde called Circius which is the North-west is so stormie and boistrous in the Westerly shores of Norwege that if there be any which vndertaketh any voyage that way when that winde bloweth he must make account to be lost and cast away And this winde is so colde in that region that it suffereth not any tree small or great to grow there So that for want of wood they must serue thēselues with the bones of great fishes to seeth or rost their meats which discommodity is not in these parts In like sort we haue had experience in New France that the North-winds are not for health And the North-east which are the colde strong sharpe and stormy Aquilons yet worse which our sicke folkes and they that had wintred there the former yeare did greatly feare because that likely some of them drooped away when that winde blew for indeed they had some sensible feeling of this winde As we see those that bee subiect to ruptures endure great pangs when that the South-winde doth blow And as we see the very beasts to prognosticate by some signes the change of weather This noisome qualitie of winde proceedeth in my iudgement from the nature of the countrie thorow which it passeth which as we haue said is full of lakes and those very great which be as it were standing and still waters Whereto I adde the exhalation of the rottennesse of woods that this winde bringeth and that in so much greater quantitie as the North-west part is great large and spacious The seasons are also to be marked in this disease which I haue not seene nor heard of that it beginnes to work neither in the spring time Summer nor Autumne vnlesse it be at the end of it but in Winter And the cause thereof is that as the growing heat of the Spring maketh the humours closed vp in the winter to disperse themselues to the extremities of the body and so cleareth it from melancholy and from the noisome humors that haue beene gathered in Winter so the Autumne as the Winter approcheth draweth them inward and doth nourish this melancholie and blacke humor which doth abound specially in this season and the Winter being come sheweth foorth his effects at the costs and griefe of the poore patients Galen yeldeth a reason for the same saying that the humors of the bodie hauing beene parched by the burning of the Summer that which may rest of it after the heat is expulsed becommeth foorthwith colde and drie That is to say colde by the priuation of the heat and drie in as much as in the drying of these humors all the moistnesse that was therein hath been consumed And thereby it commeth that sickenesses are bred in this season and the farther one goeth the weaker nature is and the vntemperate coldnesse of the aire being entred into a bodie alreadie thereto disposed doth handle it as it were at a becke and at will without pitie I would adde willingly to all the foresaid causes the bad foode of the sea which in a long voiage brings much corruption in mans bodie For one must of necessity after foure or fiue daies liue of salt meate or to bring sheepe aliue and store of poultry but this is but for Masters and Commanders in ships and we had none in our voyage but for to reserue and multiplie in the land whither we did go The mariners then and passengers doe suffer discommoditie as well in the bread as in meat and drinke the biskit
the tast of wine which they tooke with a pipe The same hath preserued many of them from death The yong buds of hearbs in the Spring time be also very soueraigne And besides that reason requireth to beleeue it I haue tried it being my selfe gone many times to gather some for our sicke people before that those of our garden might be vsed which restored them to their taste againe and comforted their weake stomacks And as for that which concerneth the exterior parts of the body we haue found great good in wearing woodden pantaphles or patins with our shooes for to avoide the moistnesse The houses neede no opening nor windowes on the Northwest side being a winde very dangerous but rather on the East side or the South It is very good to haue good bedding it was good for me to haue caried things necessary to this purpose and aboue all to keepe himselfe neat I would like well the vse of Stooues such as they haue in Germany by meanes whereof they feele no Winter being at home but as much as they please Yea they haue of them in many places in their gardens which doe so temper the coldnesse of winter that in this rough and sharpe season there one may see Orenge-trees Limon-trees Figge-trees Pomgranet-trees and all such sorts of trees bring foorth fruit as good as in Prouence Which is so much the more easie to doe in this new land for that it is all couered ouer with woods except when one comes in the Armonchiquois countrie a hundred leagues further of then Port Royall And in making of winter a sommer one shall discouer the land Which not hauing any more those great obstacles that hinder the Sunne to court her and from warming it with his heat without doubt it will become very temperate and yeeld a most milde aire and well agreeing with our humour not hauing there euen at this time neither colde nor heat that is excessiue The Sauages that know not Germany nor the customes thereof doe teach vs the same lesson which being subiect to those sicknesse as we haue seene in the voiage of Iames Quartier vse sweatings often as it were euery moneth and by this meanes they preserue themselues driuing out by sweate all the colde and euell humors they might haue gathered But one singular preseruatiue against this perfidious sicknesse which commeth so stealingly and which hauing once lodged it selfe within vs will not be put out is to follow the counsell of him that is wise amonst the wise who hauing considered all the afflictions that man giue to himselfe during his life hath found nothing better then to reioice himselfe and doe good and to take pleasure in his owne workes They that haue done so in our company haue found themselues well by it contrawise some alwaies grudging repining neuer content idle haue beene found out by the same disease True it is that for to inioy mirth it is good to haue the sweetnesse of fresh meates fleshes fishes milke butter oyles fruits and such like which we had not at will I meane the common sort for alwaies some one or other of the company did furnish Monsieur De Poutrincourt his table with wilde foule venison or fresh fish And if we had had halfe a dosen kyne I beleeue that no body had died there It resteth a preseruatiue necessarie for the accomplishment of mirth and to the end one may take pleasure on the worke of his hands is euery one to haue the honest company of his lawfull wife for without that the cheare is neuer perfect ones minde is alwaies vpon that which one loues and desireth there is still some sorrow the bodie becomes full of ill humours and so the sicknesse doth breede And for the last and soueraigne remedie I send backe the patient to the tree of life for so one may well qualifie it which Iames Quartier doth call Anneda yet vnknowen in the coast of Port Royall vnlesse it bee peraduenture the Sasafras whereof there is quantitie in certaine places And it is an assured thing that the said tree is very excellent But Monsieur Champlain who is now in the great riuer of Canada passing his winter in the same part where the said Quartier did winter hath charge to finde it out and to make prouision thereof CHAP. VII The discouery of new Lands by Monsieur De Monts fabulous tales and reports of the riuer and fained towne of Norombega The refuting of the authors that haue written thereof Fish bankes in New found land Kinibeki Chouacoet Mallebarre Armouchiquois The death of a French man killed Mortality of Englishmen in Virginia THe rough season being passed Monsieur De Monts wearied with his badde dwelling at Saint Croix determined to seeke out another Port in a warrner countrie and more to the South And to that end made a Pinnesse to be armed and furnished with victuals to follow the coast and discouering new countries to seeke out some happier Port in a more temperate aire And because that in seeking one cannot set forward so much as when in full sailes one goeth in open sea and that finding out baies and gulfes lying betweene two lands one must put in because that there one may assoone finde that which is sought for as else where he made in this voyage but about six score leagues as wee will tell you now From Saint Croix to 60. leagues forward the coast lieth East and West at the end of which 60. leagues is the riuer called by the Sauages Kinibeki From which place to Malebarre it lieth North and South and there is yet from one to the other 60. leagues in right line not following the baies So farre stretcheth Monsieur De Monts his voyage wherein he had for Pilot in his vessell Monsieur De Champdore In all this coast so farre as Kinibeki there is many places where shippes may be harbored amongst the Ilands but the people there is not so frequent as is beyond that And there is no remarkable thing at least that may be seene in the outside of the lands but a riuer whereof many haue written fables one after another like to those that they who grounding themselues vpon Hannos his Commentaries a Carthaginian captain haue fained of Townes built by him in great number vpon the coasts of Africa which is watered with the Ocean sea for that hee plaied an heroycall part in sailing so farre as the Iles of Cap Vert where long time since no body hath beene the Nauigation not being so secure then vpon that great sea as it is at this day by the benefit of the Compasse Therefore without alleaging that which the first writers Spaniards and Portingals haue said I will recite that which is in the last booke intituled The vniuersall Historie of the West Indies Printed at Douay the last yeere 1607. in the place where he speaketh of Norombega For in reporting this
that vntill we came neere the Açores we had the winde fit enough and afterward we had almost alwaies either South-west or Norweast little North and South which were not good for vs but to saile with the bowline For Easterly windes we had none at all but once or twice which continued nothing with vs to speake of Sure it is that the Westerly windes doe raigne much a long that sea Whether it be by a certaine repercussion of the East winde which is stiffe and swift vnder the Equinoctiall line wherof we haue spoken else-where or because that this Western land being large and great also the winde that issueth from thence doth abound the more Which commeth especially in Summer when the sunne hath force to draw vp the vapors of the earth for the windes come from thence issuing from the dennes and Caues of the same And therefore the Poets doe faine that Aeolus holdeth them in prisons from whence hee draweth them and giueth them liberty when it pleaseth him But the spirit of God doth confirm it vnto vs yet better when he saith by the mouth of the Prophet that Almighty God among other his maruels draweth the windes out of his treasures which be the Caues whereof I speake For the word treasure fignifieth in Hebrew secret and hidden place He bringeth foorth the cloudes from the earthes furthest parts the lightnings with the raines he makes and them impartes on some in his anger on others for pleasures The windes he draweth foorth out of his deepe treasures And vpon this consideration Christopher Columbus a Genwaie first nauigator of these last ages vnto the Ilands of Amerika did iudge that there was some great land in the West hauing obserued sailing on the sea that continuall windes came from that part Continuing then our course we had some other stormes hindrances procured by windes which we almost had alwaies contrary by reason we set out too late but they that set out in March haue commonly good windes because that then the East Noreast and Northern windes doe raigne which are fit and prosperous for these voiages These tempests were very often foretold vs by Porpeses which did haunt about our ship by thousands sporting themselues after a very pleasant maner Some of them did pay for their so neer eapproaching For some men waited for them at the beke head which is the forepart of the ship with harping Irons in their hands which met with them sometimes and drew them in abord with the helpe of the other sailers which with iron hookes which they call Gaffes tied at the end of a long powle pulled them vp We haue taken many of them in that sort both in going and comming which haue done vs no harme There bee two sorts of them some which haue a blunt and bigge nose others which haue it sharpe we tooke none but of these last but yet I remember to haue seene in the water some of the short-nosed ones This fish hath two fingers bredth of fat at the least on the backe When it was cut in two we did wash our hands in his hot blood which they say comforteth the sinewes He hath a maruelous quantity of teeth along his Iawes and I thinke that he holdeth fast that which he once catcheth Moreouer the inward parts haue altogether the taste of hoggs flesh and the bones not in forme of fish bones but like a foure footed creature The most delicate meat of it is the finne which he hath vpon the backe and the taile which are neither fish nor flesh but better then that such as also is in substance of taile that of the Beuers which seemeth to be scailed These Porpeses be the onely fishes we tooke before we came to the great bancke of Morues or Codfish But far off we saw other great fishes which did shew out of the water aboue halfe an akers length of their backes and did thrust out in the aire aboue a speares height of great pipes of water thorow the holes they had vpon their heads But to returne to our purpose of stormes during our voiage we had some which made vs strike downe saile and to stand our armes a crosse caried at the pleasure of the waues and tossed vp and downe after a strange maner If any coffer or chest was not well made fast it was heard to rowle from side to side makeing a foule noise Sometimes the kettle was ouerturned and in dyning or supping our dishes and platters flew from one ende of the table to the other vnlesse they were holden very fast As for the drinke one must cary his mouth and the glasse according to the motion of the ship Briefely it was a sport but somewhat rude to them that cannot beare this iogging easily For all that the most of vs did laugh at it for there was no danger in it at least euident being in a good ship and strong to withstand the waues We had also sometimes calmes very tedious and wearisome during which we washed our selues in the sea we danced vpon the decke we climbed vp the maine top we sang in muficke Then when a little small cloude was percerued to issue from vnder the Horizon we were forced to giue ouer those exercises for to take heed of a gust of winde which was wrapped in the same cloud which dissoluing it selfe grumbling snorting whistling roaring storming and buzing was able to ouer turne our ship vp-side downe vnlesse men had beene ready to execute that which the Master of the ship which was Captaine Foulques a man very vigilant commanded them There is no harme in shewing how these gusts of winde otherwise called stormes are formed and from whence they proceed Plinie speaketh of them in his naturall history and saith that they be exhalations light vapours raised from the earth to the colde region of the aire and not being able to passe further but rather forced to returne backe they sometimes meet sulphury and firy exhalations which compasse them about and binde so hard that there come thereby a great combat motions and agitation between the sulphury heat and the airy moistnesse which being constrained by the stronger enemy to run away it openeth it selfe maketh it selfe waie whistleth roareth and stormeth briefely becometh a winde which is great or lesser according that the sulphury exalation which wrappeth it breaketh it selfe and giueth it way sometimes all at once as we haue shewed before and sometimes with longer time according to the quantity of the matter wherof it is made and according as either more or lesse it is moued by his contrary qualities But I cannot leaue vnmentioned the wonderful courage and assurance that good sailers haue in these windie conflicts stormes and tempests when as a ship being caried and mounted vpon mountaines of waters and from thence let downe as it were into the profound depthes of the world they clime among the tacklings and
the rigor of the weather as in these our parts many poore people trauellers haue been killed through the same hardnesse of Winter weather But I will say that the yeare before we were in New France the Winter had not beene so hard as they which dwelt there before vs haue testified vnto me Let this suffice for that which concerneth the winter season But I am not yet fully satisfied in searching the cause why in one and the selfesame parallell the season is in those parts of New France more slow by a moneth than in these parts and the leaues appeare not vpon the trees but towards the end of the Moneth of May vnlesse we say that the thicknesse of the woods and greatnesse of Forrests doe hinder the Sunne from warming of the ground Item that the country where we were is ioyning to the sea and therby more subiect to cold as participating of Peru a country likewise cold in regard of Africa And besides that this land hauing neuer beene tilled is the more dampish the trees and plants not being able easily to draw sap from their mother the earth In recompence whereof the Winter there is also more slow as wee haue heererofore spoken The cold being passed about the end of March the best disposed amongst vs striued who should best till the ground and make gardens to sow in them and gather fruits thereof Which was to very good purpose for we found great discommodity in the Winter for want of garden hearbes When euery one had done his sowing it was a maruellous pleasure in seeing them daily grow and spring vp and yet greater contentment to vse thereof so abundantly as we did so that this beginning of good hope made vs almost to forget our natiue country and especially when the fish began to haunt fresh-water and came abundantly into our brookes in such innumerable quantity that we knew not what to doe with it Which thing when I consider I cannot wonder enough how it is possible that they which haue beene in Florida haue suffered so great famins considering the temperature of the aire which is there almost without Winter and that their famine began in the moneths of April May and Iune wherein they could want for no fish Whilest some laboured on the ground Monsieur De Poutrincourt made some buildings to be prepared for to lodge them which he hoped should succeed vs. And considering how troublesome the hand mill was he caused a water-mill to be made which caused the Sauages to admire much at it For indeed it is an inuention which came not into the spirit of men from the first ages After that our workmen had much rest for the most part of them did almost nothing But I may say that this Mill by the diligence of our Millers did furnish vs with three times more Herrings then was needfull vnto vs for our sustenance Monsieur De Poutrincourt made two Hogsheads full of them to bee salted and one hogshead of Sardines or Pilchers to bring into France for a shew which were left in our returne at S. Maloes to some Merchants Among all these things the said Monsieur De Poutrincourt did not neglect to thinke on his returne Which was the part of a wiseman for one must neuer put so much trust in mens promises but one must consider that very often many disasters doe happen to them in a small moment of time And therefore euen in the Moneth of Aprill he made two Barkes to be prepared a great one and a small one to come to seeke out French-ships towards Campseau or New-found-land if it should happen that no supply should come vnto vs. But the Carpentry-worke being finished one onely inconuenience might hinder vs that is we had no pitch to calke our vessels This which was the chiefest thing was forgotten at our departure from Rochel In this important necessity the said Monsieur De Poutrincourt aduised himselfe to gather in the woods quantity of the gumme issuing from Firre-trees Which he did with much labour going thither himselfe most often with a boy or two so that in the end he got some hundred pounds weight of it Now after these labours it was not yet all for it was needfull to melt and purifie the same which was a necessary point and vnknowen to our ship-Master Monsieur De Champ-dorè and to his Mariners for as much as that the pitch we haue commeth from Norwege Suedland and Danzick Neuerthelesse the said Monsieur De Poutrincourt found the meanes to draw out the quintessence of these gummes and Firre-tree barkes and caused quantity of brickes to be made with the which he made an open furnance wherein he put a limbecke made with many kettles ioyned one in the other which he filled with those gums and barkes Then being well couered fire was put round about it by whose violence the gum enclosed within the said lembeckemelted and dropped downe into a bason but it was needfull to be very watchfull at it by reason that if the fire had taken hold of the gum all had beene lost That was admirable especially in a man that neuer saw any made Whereof the Sauages being astonied did say in words borrowed from the Basques Endia chauè Normandia that is to say that the Normands know many things Now they call all Frenchmen Normands except the Basques because the most part of fishermen that goe afishing there be of that nation This remedy came very fitly vnto vs for those which came to seeke vs were fallen into the same want that we were Now as he which is in expectation hath neither contentment nor rest vntill he hath that which he desireth likewise our men in this season had often their eies vpon the great compasse of Port Royall to see if they might discouer any ship a comming wherein they were oftentimes deceiued imagining sometimes they had heard a Canon-shot other while to perceiue a saile and very often taking the Sauages boates that came to see vs for French shaloups For at that time great number of Sauages assembled themselues at the passage of the said Port to goe to the wars against the Armouchiquois as we will declare in the booke following Finally that which was so much expected and wished for came at length and we had newes out of France on the Ascension day in the forenoone CHAP.

XXIIII Of the qualitie of the Soile VVE haue made prouision in the three last chapters of venison of foule and of fish which is much But in our old ancient France bread and wine being our vsuall sustenance it would bee hard vnto vs to make heere our aboade vnlesse the land were fit for the same Let vs then enter into consideration of it and let vs put our hands into our bosome to see if the dugges of this mother will yeeld any milke to nourish her children and as for the rest wee will take what may bee hoped for of her Attilius Regulus twise Consull in Rome did commonly say that one must not choose places ouer ranke because they are vnhealthfull neither places ouer barren although one may liue healthily in them And with such a modetate soile did Cato content himselfe The ground of New France is such for the most part of fatte sand vnder which we haue often found clay ground and of that earth did Monsieur de Poutrincourt cause a quantitie of bricks to be made wherewith he builded a furnance to melt the gum of the firre tree and chimneies I will say farther that one may make with this earth such operations as with the earth which we call terra sigillata or Bolus Armenicus as in many occasions our Apothecarie master Lewes Hebert most sufficient in his Arte hath made triall of it by the aduice of Monsieur de Poutrincourt yea euen when that Monsieur du Pont his sonne had three fingers cut off with a musket-shot which did burst being ouercharged in the countrie of the Armouchiquois This prouince hauing the two natures of Earth that God hath giuen vnto man for to possesse who may doubt but that it is a land of promise when it shal be manured Wee haue made triall of it and haue taken pleasure therein which neuer did all them that haue gone before vs whether it be in Brasill whether it be in Florida or in Canada God hath blessed our labours and hath giuen vnto vs faire wheate Rie Barly Oates Peason Beanes Hempe Turneps and garden hearbs and this so plentifully that the Rie was as high as the tallest man that may be seene and we did feare that this height should hinder it from bringing foorth seed But it hath so well fructified that one french-graine sowed there hath yeelded one hundred and fifty Eares of corne such as by the testimony of my Lord Chancellour the Iland of Cicilia nor the countrie of Beausse doe yeeld none fairer I did sow wheate without suffring my land to rest and without dunging it at all and neuerthelesse it grew vp in as faire perfection as the fairest wheate in France although the corne and all that wee did sow was to long kept But the new corne which the said Monsieur de Poutrincourt did sow before his departure from thence grew vp so beautifull that it was wonderfull according to the report of them that haue beene there a yeere after our departure Whereupon I will say that which was of mine owne doing that in the month of Aprill in the yeere 1607 hauing sowed too thicke too neere one to the other some few grains of the Rie that was gathered at Saint Croix the first dwelling of Monsieur de Monts some twenty fiue leagues from Port Royall these graines did multiplie so aboundantly that they choaked one another and came to no good perfection But as for the ground mended dunged with our hogs dung or with the sweepings of the kitchinne shels of fish or such like things I would not beleeue vnlesse I had seene it the excessiue loftinesse of the plants that it hath produced euery one in his kinde Yea the Sonne of Monsieur de Poutrincourt a yong Gentleman of great forwardnesse hauing sowed graines of Oringes and of Citrons in his garden they sprung plants of a foote high at three months end We did not expect so much and notwithstanding we tooke pleasure therein emulating one another I referre to any mans Iudgement if the second triall will be done with a good courage And heere I must say by the way that the Secretary of the said Monsieur de Monts being come into those parts before our departure did say that he would not for any thing in the world but to haue made the voyage and that vnlesse he had seene our corne he would not haue beleeued it Behold how continually the country of Canada hath beene discredited vnder whose name all that land is comprized not knowing what it is vpon thereport of some Mariners who onely doe goe to fish for Coddes and vpon the rumor of some sicknesses which may bee avoided in maintaining of mirth So that men be well furnished of necessaries But to continue our purpose of the mending of the ground whereof wee spake euen now one certaine ancient Authour saith that the Censors of Rome did let to farme the dunghils and other vncleanenesse which were drawen out of sinckes for 1000 tallents a yeere which is woorth 600000 French-crownes to the Gardeners of Rome because that it was the excellentest dung of all And there was
to that end Commissioners ordained for to cleanse them Likewise the bottome and Channell of the Riuer Tybre as certaine ancient inscriptions which I haue sometimes read doe record The land of the Armouchiquois doth beare yeerely such corne as that which wee call Sarrazen wheate Turkie wheate and Indian wheate which is the Irio or Erysimon fruges of Pliny and Columella But the Virginians Floridians and Brasilians more southerly make two haruests a yeere All these people doe till their land with a woodden picke-axe weed out the weeds and burne them fatten their fieldes with shell-fish hauing neither tame Cattell nor dung then they heape their ground in small heapes two foote distant one from another and the month of Maie being come they set their Corne in those heapes of earth as wee doe plant beanes fixing a stick and putting foure graines of corne seuerally one after another by certaine superstition in the hole and betweene the plants of the said corne which groweth like a small tree and is ripe at three months end they also set beanes spotted with all colours which are very delicate which by reason they be not so high doe grow very well among these plantes of corne Wee haue sowed of the said corne this last yeere in Paris in good ground but with small profit hauing yeelded euery plant but one eare or two and yet very thinne Where in that country one graine will yeld foure fiue and six eares and euery eare one with another aboue 200 graines which is a maruellous increase Which sheweth the prouerbe reported by Theophrastus to be very true that it is the yeere that produced the fruit and not the field That is to say that the temperature of the aire and condition of the weather is that which maketh the plants to budde and fructifie more then the nature of the earth Wherein is to be wondred that our Corne groweth better there then their corne heere A certaine testimonie that God hath blessed that country since that his name hath beene called vpon there Also that in these parts since some yeeres God beateth vs as I haue said elsewhere with rods of iron and in that country he hath spred his blessing aboundantly vpon our labour and that in one parallele and eleuation of the Sunne This Corne growing high as we haue said the stalke of it is as bigge as Canes yea bigger The stalke Corne taken greene haue a sugar taste which is the cause why the Mowles and field Rattes doe so couet it for they spoiled me a plot of it in New France The great beasts as Stagges and other beasts as also birds doe spoile it And the Indians are constrained to keepe them as wee doe the vines heere The Haruest being done this people laieth vp their Corne in the ground in pits which they make in some discent of a hill for the running downe of waters furnishing those pits with mattes and this they doe because they haue no houses with loftes nor chests to lay it vp otherwise then the corne conserued after this maner is out of the way of Rats and Mise Sundry nations of those parts haue had the same inuention to keepe corne in pits For Suidas maketh mention of it vpō the word Seiroi And Procopius in the second book of the Gothicke warre saith that the Gothes besieging Rome fell within the pits where the inhabitants were woont to lay their Corne. Tacitus reporteth also that the Germans had such pits And without particularising any farther in many places of France that keepe at this day their corne after that maner We haue declared heeretofore in what fashion they stampe their Corne and make bread with it and how by the testimonie of Pliny the ancient Italians had no better industrie then they They of Canada and Hochelaga in the time of Iames Quartier did also till after the same maner and the land did affoord them Corne Beanes Peason Milions Pompions Cucumbers but since that their furres haue been in request and that for the same they haue had bread and other victuals without any other paines they are become sluggish as the Souriquois also who did addict themselues to tillage in the same time But both the one and the other nation haue yet at this time excellent Hempe which the ground produceth of it selfe It is higher finer whiter and stronger then ours in these our parts But that of the Armouchiquois beareth at the top of the stalke thereof a cod filled with a kinde of cotten like vnto silke in which lieth the seed Of this cotton or whatsoeuer it be good beddes may be made more excellent a thousand times then of feathers and softer than common cotten We haue sowed of the said seed or graine in diuers places of Paris but it did not prooue We haue seene by our Historie how along the great riuer beyond Tadoussac Vines are found innumerable and grapes at the season I haue seene none in Port Royall but the land and the hils are very proper for it France had none in ancient time vnlesse peraduenture along the coast of the Mediterranean sea And the Gaullois hauing done some notable seruice to the Emperour Probus they demanded of him for recompence permission to plant Vines which he granted vnto them But they were first denied by the Emperor Nero. But why doe I aleadge the Gaullois seeing that in Brasill being a hot countrie there was none vntill that the Frenchmen and Portugeses had planted some there So there is no doubt but that the Vine will grow plentifully in the said Port Royall seeing likewise that at the riuer Saint Iohn which is twentie leagues more Northward than the said Port there be many of them yet for all that not so faire as in the countrie of the Armouchiquois where it seemeth that Nature did delight herselfe in planting of them there And for as much as we haue handled this subiect speaking of the voiage that Monsieur De Poutrincourt made thether we will passe further to declare vnto you that the most part of the woods of this land be Oakes and Walnut-trees bearing small-nuts with fower or fiue sides so sweet and delicate as any thing may be And likewise Plumb-trees which bring foorth very good Plumbes As also Sassafras a tree hauing leaues like to Oake-leaues but lesse iagged whose wood is of very good sent and most excellent for the curing of many diseases as the pox and the sicknesse of Canada which I call Phthisie whereof we haue discoursed at large heeretofore They also plant great store of Tabacco a thing most precious with them and vniversally amongst all those nations It is a plante of the bignesse of Consolida maior the smoake whereof they sucke vp with a pipe in that manner that I will declare vnto you for the contentment of them that know not the vse of it After that they haue gathered this hearbe they
