labour among the people were separated from them that were fit for warre that euery one might be put to seruice agreeable vnto him The Citie therefore began to be built there and a wall of earth to be raised about it to to the heigth of a Speare or Iauelin and in the Citie a firme and strong house for our Generall The wall of the Citie was three foot broad But that which was built to day the next day fell downe againe For the people wanting food liued in great scarcitie so that many died of famine nor could the Horses satisfie them There was not plentie enough of Dormice or other-Mice or Serpents or other wild beasts to asswage this lamentable famine and vnspeakable pouertie Not so much as shooes and other Leather could auoid this rage of deuouring It fell out also at that time that three Spaniards hauing stolne a Horse did priuily eate him Which as soone as it was discouered they were grieuously tormented and questioned touching the fact and when they confessed it they were condemned to the Gallowes When they were hanged three other Spaniards consorted themselues together who the same night going to the Gallowes cut off the legges of them that were hanged and cut out pieces of flesh from their bodies that in their Cottages they might asswage vntollerable hunger by eating thereof A certaine Spaniard through exceeding hunger eate his owne brother who died in the Citie of Buenas Aeres 10. When therefore our Generall Don Petro Mendoza saw that the people could no longer be sustained and preserued in this place he presently commandeth foure small Barkes which they call Brigantines or small men of warre and are carried with Oares to bee made readie whereof euerie one will hold fortie men there were also three other lesse called Potten These seuen little Vessels therefore being made readie and dispatched our Generall commanded the company to be mustered and George Luchsam with 350. readie and able men to saile vp the Riuer and seek out the Indians that we might get prouision of victuals and food But the Indians vnderstanding before of our presence burnt their prouision of victuall and whatsoeuer was good to eat together with their Villages and runne away But wee in the meane season got no food and for euerie daies allowance vnto euerie man one ounce and an halfe of bread was distributed whereby it came to passe that in this journie the halfe part of our Souldiers perished through famine Wee therefore of necessitie returned to the said Towne where our Generall was who greatly wondred that so small a number of people should returne seeing we were no more then fiue moneths absent and he demanded of our Captaine George Luchsam to declare vnto him what hee had done in this journie who signified that they who were wanting died of famine because the Indians had consumed all the food with fire and after run away themselues 11. All these things falling out thus as I haue said yet we continued together in the Towne of Buenas Aeres a whole moneth in great want expecting while the furniture of our shippes should be finished In the meane wh●le in the yeere 1535. the Indians inuade vs and our Citie of Buenas Aeres with the strength of twentie three thousand men and in their Armie there were foure distinct Nations to wit Cariendes Bartennis Lechuruas and Tiembus The purpose and principall intension of all these was to kill vs all But praise and glorie bee to God who saued the greatest part of vs safe from destruction For together with the Captaines and Ancients and other Souldiers there were not aboue thirtie men of ours slaine When therefore they first came to our Citie of Buenas Aeres some of them ranne furiously to assault it others cast fierie Darts vpon our houses all which except our Generals house which only was couered with Tile were only thatched and by that meanes all our Citie together with all the houses was consumed with the flames euen from the foundation The Weapons or Darts of these Indians are made of Reed which when they are cast or shot out take fire in the point They haue a kind of wood also whereof they make their Darts which if they bee fired before they be cast are not quenched but set houses couered with Thatch on fire and so those that touch or joyne together burne together In this fight these Indians burnt vs also foure great shippes which were halfe a league distant from vs on the water But the Souldiers who were in these ships when they saw that mightie tumult of the Indians betooke themselues to flight from these foure shippes into three others which rode not farre from these and were furnished with Ordnance They therefore when they saw the foure ships burne began to defend themselues and eagerly to assault the Indians and let flee the bullets which caused them to leaue the assault and depart giuing rest vnto the Christians All this was done on the Feast of Saint Iohn the Euangelist In the yeere 1535. 12. All these things being past and done all the people went into the ships and our Generall Don Petro Mendoza made Iohn Eyollus his Deputie creating him Lieutenant Generall deliuering ouer vnto him the whole gouernment of all as also of the people He taking a view of the company of two thousand fiue hundred men which came from Spaine together in ships hee found only fiue hundred and sixtie aliue all the rest were dead whom for the most part the intollerable famine had consumed After this our Lieutenant Iohn Eyollus commandeth eight little Barkes which they call Brigantines and Pott speedily to be built And of fiue hundred and sixtie which remained aliue hee tooke vnto him foure hundred men leauing the other one hundred and sixtie to take charge of the foure great ships ouer whom hee set Iohn Romero the chiefe commander leauing prouision for a whole yeere so that foure ounces of bread were distributed to euery man for his daily allowance 13. After this our Lieutenant Iohn Eyollus with his foure hundred Souldiers which hee had with him among whom also Petro Mendoza our Generall was saileth vp the Riuer of Parana in the Brigantines and Potts furnished for this purpose vntill wee came vnto the Indians which was pe●formed in the space of two moneths from our comming forth of the Citie of Buenas Aeres so that wee were now eightie foure leagues distant from our said burnt Citie When therefore we were not aboue foure leagues from these people which they call Tiembus but wee called them Bona speransa and they vnderstood of our comming before about foure hundred men of them came peaceably vnto vs in their Boats which they call Canoas in euery one of the which Canoas sixteene person sate When therefore we met together in the Riuer our Generall gaue the Captaine of these Indians of Tiembus whom they call Zchara Wassu a shirt a red

what they had Whereas if wee had taken reuenge then by their losse wee should haue lost our selues We searched all the Countries of Youghtanund and Mattapamient where the people imparted that little they had with such complaints and teares from women and children as hee had beene too cruell to bee a Christian that would not haue beene satisfied and moued with compassion But this happened in October Nouember and December when that vnhappy discouerie of Monacan was made wee might haue fraughted a Ship of fortie Tunnes and twice as much might haue beene had from the Riuers of Toppahannock Patawomeck and Pawtuxunt The maine occasion of our temporizing with the Sauages was to part friendes as wee did to giue the lesse cause of suspition to Powhatan to flye by whom wee now returned with a purpose to haue surprised him and his prouision for effecting whereof when wee came against the Towne the President sent Master Wissin and Master Coe a shoare to discouer and make way for his intended proiect But they found that those damned Dutchmen had caused Powhatan to abandon his new house and Werawocomoco and to carrie away all his Corne and prouision and the people they found by their meanes so ill affected that had they not stood well vpon their guard they had hardly escaped with their liues So the President finding his intention thus frustrated and that there was nothing now to bee had and therefore an vnfit time to reuenge their abuses held on the course for Iames Towne wee hauing in this iourney for fiue and twentie pound of Copper fiftie pound of Iron and Beades kept fortie men sixe weekes and daily feasted with Bread Corne Flesh Fish and Fowle euery man hauing for his reward and in consideration of his commodities a months prouision no trade being allowed but for the store and wee deliuered at Iames Towne to the Cape-Merchant two hundred seuentie nine bushels of Corne. VVHen the ships departed all the prouision of store but that the President had gotten was so rotten with the last Summers Raine and eaten with Rats and Wormes as the Hogges would scarcely eate it yet it was the Souldiers Diet till our returnes so that we found nothing done but victuall spent and the most part of our Tooles and a good part of our Armes conueyed to the Sauages But now casting vp the store and finding sufficient till the next Haruest the feare of staruing was abandoned and the Company diuided into tennes fifteenes or as the busines required foure houres each day was spent in work the rest in pastimes and merrie exercise The Dutchmens Consorts so closely still conuaid Powder Shot Swords and Tooles that though wee could find the defect we could not find by whom it was occasioned till it was too late All this time the Dutchmen remayning with Powhatan receiued them instructing the Sauages their vse But their Consorts not following them as they expected to know the cause they sent Francis their companion a stout young fellow diguised Sauage like to the Glasse-house a place in the Woods neere a mile from Iames Towne where was the randeuoze for all their vnsuspected villany fortie men they procured of Powhatan to lie in Ambuscadoe for Captaine Smith who no sooner heard of this Dutchman but he sent to apprehend him who found he was gone yet to crosse his returne to Powhatan Captaine Smith presently dispatched twenty shot after him and then returning but from the Glasse-house alone he incountred the King of Paspaheigh a most strong stout Sauage whose perswasions not being able to perswade him to his ambush seeing him only armed but with a Fauchion attempted to haue shot him but the President preuented his shot by grapling with him and the Sauage as well preuented him for drawing his Fauchion and perforce bore him into the Riuer to haue drowned him long they struggled in the water from whence the King perceiuing two of the Poles vpon the sands would haue fled but the President held him by the haire and throat till the Poles came in then seeing how pittifully the poore Saluage begged his life they conducted him prisoner to the Fort. The Dutchman ere long was also brought in whose Villany though all this time it was suspected yet he fained such a formall excuse that for want of Language Winne had not rightly vnderstood them and for their dealings with Powhatan that to saue their liues they were constrained to accomodate his armes of whom he extremely complained to haue detained them perforce and that hee made this escape with the hazard of his life and meant not to haue returned but only walked in the woods to gather Walnuts yet for all this faire Tale there was so small appearance of truth hee went by the heeles the King also he put fetters purposing to regaine the Dutchmen by the sauing his life the poore Sauage did his best by his daily Messengers to Powhatan but all returned that the Dutchmen would not returne neither did Powhatan stay them and to bring them fiftie miles on their backes they were not able Daily this Kings Wiues children and people came to visit him with Presents which he liberally bestowed to make his peace much trust they had in the Presidents promise but the King finding his Guard negligent though fettered yet escaped Captaine Winne thinking to pursue him found such troupes of Sauages to hinder his passages as they exchanged many volies of shot for flight of Arrowes Captaine Smith hearing of this in returning to the Fort tooke two Sauages Prisoners the one called Kemps the other Kinsock the two most exact Villaines in the Countrey with those Captaine Winne and fiftie chosen men attempted that night to haue regained the King and reuenged his iniurie and so had doue if he had followed his directions or beene aduised by those two Villaines that would haue betrayed both their King and Kindred for a piece of Copper but hee trifling away the night the Sauages the next morning by the rising of the Sunne braued him to come ashore to fight a good time both sides let flie at other but we heard of no hurt only they tooke two Canoaes burnt the Kings House and so returned The President fearing those brauadoes would but incourage the Sauages begunne himselfe to trie his conclusions whereby sixe or seuen Sauages were slaine as many made Prisoners burnt their Houses tooke their Boats with all their fishing weares and planted them at Iames Towne for his owne vse and now resolued not to ceasse till hee had reuenged himselfe vpon all that had iniured him but in his iourney passing by Paspaheigh towards Chickahamina the Sauages did their best to draw him to their Ambuscadoes but seeing him regardlesly passe their Countrey all shewed themselues in their brauest manner to try their valours he could not but flie and ere hee could land the Sauages no sooner knew him but they threw downe their Armes and desired Peace their Orator was a

water it was not able to bee held and therefore vpon the discouery of our Boates they of the high Towne should make a signall by fire from thence that all the low Towne might make their retreat thither but they whether troubled with the sudden terror we brought vpon them or forgetting their decree omitted the fire which made them guard that place till we were entred on euery side Then the Towne being entred in three seuerall places with an huge cry the Inhabitants betooke them to the high Towne which they might with lesse perill doe for that ours being strangers there knew not the way to cut them off The rest that were not put to the sword in f●rie fled to the Rocks in the Iland others hid themselues in Chambers and Sellers which were euery day found in great numbers Amongst those Don Iuun de Luna a man of very good commandement hauing hidden himselfe in a house did the next morning yeeld himselfe There was also taken that night a Commissarie of victuals called Iuan de Vera who confessed that there were in the Groine at our entrie fiue hundred Souldiers being in seuen Companies which returned very weake as appeareth by the small numbers of them from the iourney of England The rest falling into the hands of the common Souldiers bad their throats cut to the number of fiue hundred as I coniecture first and last after wee had entred the Towne and in the entry thereof there was found euerie Seller full of Wine whereon our men by inordinate drinking both grew themselues for the present senslesse of the danger of the shot of the Town which hurt many of them being drunk and tooke the first ground of their sicknesse for of such was our first and chiefest mortalitie There was also abundant store of Victualls Salt and all kind of prouision for shipping and the warre which was confessed by the said Commissary of Victualls taken there to be the beginning of a Magasin of all sorts of prouision for a new Voyage into England whereby you may coniecture what the spoile thereof hath aduantaged vs and preiudiced the King of Spaine The next morning about eight of the clocke the enemies abandoned their Ships And hauing ouercharched the Artillery of the Gallion left her on fire which burnt in terrible sort two daies together the fire and ouercharging of the Peeces being so great as of fiftie that were in her there were not aboue sixteene taken out whole the rest with ouercharge of the powder being broken and molten with heat of the fire were taken out in broken pieces into diuers Ships The same day was the Cloister of the South side of the Towne entred by vs which ioyned verie neere to the wall of the Town out of the chambers and other places whereof we beat into the same with our Musketiers The next day in the afternoone there came downe some two thousand men gathered together out of the Countrey euen to the gates of the Towne as resolutely led by what spirit I know not as though they would haue entred the same but at the first defence made by ours that had the guard there wherein were slaine about eighteene of theirs they tooke them to their heeles in the same disorder they made their approach and with greater speed then ours were able to follow notwithstanding wee followed after them more then a mile The second day Colonell Huntley was sent into the Countrey with three or foure hundred men who brought home very great store of Kine and Sheepe for our reliefe The third day in the night the Generall had in purpose to take a long Munition-house builded vpon their wall opening towardes vs which would haue giuen great aduantage against them but they knowing the commodity thereof for vs burnt it in the beginning of the euening which put him to a new councell for he had likewise brought some Artillery to that side of the Town During this time there happened a very great fire in the lower end of the Towne which had it not bin by the care of the Generals heedily seene vnto and the fury thereof preuented by pulling downe many houses which were most in danger as next vnto them had burnt all the prouisions we found there to our wonderfull hinderance The fourth day were planted vnder the guard of the Cloisters two Demy-canons and two Coluerings against the Towne defended or gabbioned with a crosse wall thorow which our battery lay the first and second tire whereof shooke all the wall down so as all the Ordnance lay open to the Enemy by reason wherof some of the Canoniers were shot and some slaine The Lieutenant also of the Ordnance M. Spencer was slaine fast by Sir Edward Norris Master thereof whose valour being accompanied with an honourable care of defending that trust committed vnto him neuer left that place till he receiued direction from the Generall his brother to cease the battery which he presently did leauing a guard vpon the same for that day and in the night following made so good defence for the place of the battery as after there were very few or none annoyed therein That day Captaine Goodwin had in commandement from the Generall that when the assault should be giuen to the Towne he should make a proffer of an Escalade on the other side where he held his guard but he mistaking the signall that would haue beene giuen attempted the same long before the assault and was shot in the mouth The same day the Generall hauing planted his Ordnance ready to batter caused the Towne to be summoned in which summons they of the Towne shot at our Drum immediately after that there was one hanged ouer the wall and a parle desired wherein they gaue vs to vnderstand that the man hanged was hee that shot at the Drum before wherein they all intreated to haue faire wars with promise of the same on their parts The rest of the parle was spent in talking of Don Iuan de Luna and some other prisoners and somewhat of the rendring of the Towne but not much for they listned not greatly thereunto Generall Norris hauing by his skilfull view of the Towne which is almost all seated vpon a Rocke found one place thereof mineable did presently set workemen in hand withall who after three daies labour and the seuenth after we were entred the base Towne had bedded their Powder but indeed not farre enough into the wall Against which time the breach made by the Canon being thought assaultable and Companies appointed as well to enter the same as that which was expected should be blowne vp by the Mine namely to that of the Canon Captaine Richard Wingfield and Captaine Philpot who led the Generalls Foot-company with whom also Captaine Yorke went whose principall commandement was ouer the Horse-men And to that of the Mine Captaine Iohn Sampson and Captaine Anthony Wingfield Lieutenant Colonell to the Master of the Ordnance with certaine selected
