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 when we were readie to depart notwithstanding all the speéch I vsed to him in declaring that it was for the Kinges seruice I was constrained to leaue the ship behinde me which I had bought of the English Captaine because I wanted men to bring her away For Captain 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 Captaine Iohn Ribault and I kept companye all that daye and the next vntill threé 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 daye wee discried the Isle 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 time and supposing wee were not farre from lande I caused my men to sound where they found threéscore fifteéne fathoms water whereat we all reioysed praised God because we had sailed so prosperously Immediately after I caused them to set sayle againe so we continued our way but for asmuch as we had borne to much toward the Northeast we entered into Saint Georges chanel a place much feared of all Sailers and where as many ships are cast away But it was a faire gift of God that we entred into it when the weather was cleare We sailed al the night supposing we had beéne shot into the narrow Sea betweene England and France by the next day to reach Diepe but wee were deceaued of our longing for about two or three of the clocke after midnight as I walked vpon the hatches I discried land rounde about me whereat we were astonied Immediatly I caused them to strike saile and sound we found we had not vnder vs past eight fathoms of water whereupon I commaunded them to staye till breake of day which being come and seéing my Mariners tolde me that they knew not this land I commanded them to approch vnto it Being neére thereunto I made them cast anker and sent the boat on shoare to vnderstand in what country we were Word was brought me that we were in Wales a prouince of England I went incontinently on land where after I had taken the ayre a sickenesse tooke mee whereof I thought I shoulde haue dyed In the meane while I caused the shippe to bee brought into the bay of a small towne called Swansey where I found Marchants of saint 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 Lord of the place vnderstanding what I was stayd me with him for the space of sixe or seuen daies and at my departure mooued with pittie to see me goe on foote especially being so weake as I was gaue me a little Hackenye Thus I passed on my iourney first to Bristo then to London where I went to do my duety to Monsieur de Foix which for the present was the kings Ambassadour holpe me w t money in my necessitie From thence I passed to Calis afterward to Paris where I was infourmed that y e 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 in new France since the time it pleased y ● 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 y ● 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 spēt 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 sufficiēt 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 coast where all his ships were cast away he with much adooe escaped drowning to fall into their hands which cruelly massacred him and all his company The end of the historie written by Laudonniere THE FOVRTH VOYAGE of the French men into Florida vnder the conduct of Captaine GOVRGVES in

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 sheépe and poultry to bee killed which vntill this present I had carefully preserued hoping to store the countrie withall For notwithstanding all the necessities and sicknes that happened vnto me I would not suffer so much as one chicking to be killed by which meanes in a short time I had gathered together aboue an hundred Pullets Now threé dayes passed while the English general remayned with me during which tyme the Indyans came in from all parts to see hym and asked me whether hee were my brother I told them he was so and signified vnto them that heé was come to seé me and ayde me with so great store of victuals that from thence forward I should haue no neéde to take any thing of them The bruite hereof incontinently was spread ouer all the countrie in such sort as Ambassadours came vnto me from all parts which on the behalfe of the kings their masters desired to make alliance with mee and euen they which before sought to make warre against me came to offer their friendship and seruice vnto mee Whereupon I receaued them and gratified them with certayne presentes The generall immediately vnderstoode the desire vrgent occasion which I had to returne into France Whereupon he offred to transport me and al my company home whereunto notwithstanding I woulde not agreé being in doubt vpon what occasion hee made so large an offer For I knewe not howe the case stoode betweéne the French and the English and although he promised me on his faith to put me on land in France before he would touch in England yet I stoode in doubt least he would attempt somewhat in Florida in the name of his mistresse Wherefore I flatly refused his offer whereupon there rose a great mutiny among my Souldiers which sayd that I sought to destroy them all and that the Brigantine whereof I spake before was not sufficient to transport them considering the season of the yeare wherein we were The bruite and mutinye increased more and more for after that the Generall was returned to his ships he told certaine gentlemen and souldiers which went to see him partly to make good cheére with him he declared I say vnto them that he greatly doubted that hardly we should bee able to passe safely in those vessels which we had that in case we should enterprise the same we shoulde no doubt bee in great ieopardye notwithstanding if I were so contented hee would transport part of my men in his shippes and that hee woulde leaue me a small shippe to transport the rest The Souldyers were no sooner come home but they signified the offer vnto their companyons which incontinently consented together that in case I woulde not accept the same they woulde embarke themselues with hym and forsake me so that he would receaue them accordyng to his promise They therefore assembled themselues altogether and came to seeke me in my Chamber and signified vnto me their intention whereunto I promised to aunswere within one houre after In which meane space I gathered together the principall members of my company which after I had broken the matter with them answered me all with one voice that I ought not to refuse this offer nor contemne the occasion which presented it selfe and that they could not thinke euill of it in France if being forsaken as we were we ayded our selues with such meanes as God had sent vs. After sundry debatinges of this matter in conclusion I gaue mine aduise that wee ought to deliuer him the price of the shippe which hee was to leaue vs that for my part I was content to giue him the best of my stuffe and the siluer which I had gathered in the Country Whereupon notwithstanding it was determined that I shoulde keépe the siluer for feare least the Queéne of England seeing the same shoulde the rather be encouraged to set footing there as before sheé had desired that it was farre better to carry it into France to giue encouragement vnto our Princes not to leaue of an enterprise of so great importance for our common wealth and that seéing we were resolued to depart it was farre better to giue him our Artillerye which otherwise we should bee constrained to leaue behind vs or to hide it in the ground by reason of the weakenes of our men being not able to embarke the same This point being thus concluded and resolued on I went my selfe vnto the English Generall accompanied with my Lieutenant and Captaine 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 esteémed 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 being moued withpitie he offred to relieue me with twenty barrels of meale six pipes of beanes one hogshead of salt and a hundred of waxe to make candels Moreouer forasmuch as he sawe my Souldyers goe barefoote hee offered me besides fifty payres of shoes which I accepted and agreéd of a price with hym and gaue hym a byll of mine hand for the same for which vntill this present I am indebted to hym He did more then this for particularly he bestowed vppon my selfe a great iare of oyle a iare of Uynagre a barill of Olyues and a great quantitye of Ryce and a barill of white Biscuit Besides hee gaue diuerse presents to the principall Officers of my companye accordyng to their qualities so that I may saye that wee receaued as manye courtesies of the Generall as it was possible to receiue of any man liuing Wherein doubtlesse hee hath wonne the reputation of a good and charitable man
