necessarie hauing in them an hundred and fiftye Souldiers and fourescore chosen Mariners vnder Captaine Cazenoue his Lieutenant Francis Bourdelois Master ouer the Mariners He set foorth the two and twentieth of August 1567. And hauing endured contrary windes and stormes for a season at length hee arriued and went on shoare in the Isle of Cuba From thence he passed to the Cape of Saint Antony at the ende of the Isle of Cuba about two hundred leagues distant from Florida where the Captaine disclosed vnto them his intention which hitherto hee had concealed from them praying and exhorting them not to leaue him being so neére the enemie so well furnished in such a cause which they all sware vnto him and that with such courage that they would not stay the full Moone to passe the chanell of Bahama but speédily discouered Florida where the Spaniards saluted them with two Canons shotte from their fort supposing that they had beéne of their Nation and Gourgues saluted them againe to entertaine them in this errour that he might surprise them at more aduantage yet sailing by them and making as though he went to some other place vntill hee had sailed out of sight of the place so that about euening he landed fifteén leagues from the fort at the mouth of the Ryuer Tacata courou which the Frenchmen called Seine because they thought it to bee like Seine in France Afterward perceiuing the shoare to bee couered with Sauages with their bowes and arrowes besides the signe of peace and amitie which he made them from his ships he sent his Trumpettour to assure them that they were come thither for none other end but to renue the amitie and auncient league of the French with them The Trompettour did his message so well by reason he had beéne there before vnder Laudonniere that he brought backe from king Satourioua the greatest of al the other kings a kidde and other meat to refresh vs besides the offer of his friendship and amitie Afterward they retired daunsing in signe of ioy to aduertise all the kings Satouriouaes kinsmen to repair thither the next daye to make a league of amitye with the French men Whereupon in the meane space our generall went about to sound the chanel of the Riuer to bring in his shippes and the better to trafficke and deale with the sauages of whom the chiefe the next day in the morning presented themselues namely the great king Satourioua Tacatacourou Halmacanir Athore Ha●paha Helmacapé Helicopilé Molloua others his kinsmē allies with their accustomed weapons Then sent they to intreate the French Generall to come on shoare which hee caused his men to doe with their swords harquebusies which he made them leaue behind them in token of mutuall assuraunce leauing his men but their swordes onely after that the sauages complaining thereof had left and likewise sent away their weapons at the request of Gourgues This done Satourioua going to meéte him caused him to sitte on his right hand in a seate of woode of lentisque couered with mosse made of purpose like vnto his owne Then two of the eldest of the companye pulled vp the brambles and other weédes which were before them and after they had made the place very cleane they all sate round about them on the ground Afterwarde Gourgues beeing about to speake Satourioua preuented him declaring at large vnto him the incredible wronges and continuall outrages that all the sauages their wiues and children had receaued of the Spaniards since their comming into the country and massacring of the Frenchmen with their continuall desire if we would assist them throughly to reuenge so shamefull a treason aswell as their owne particular griefes for the firme good will they alwaies had borne vnto the Frenchmen Whereuppon Gourgues giuing them his faith and making a league betweéne them and him with an oath gaue them certaine presentes of daggers knyues looking glasses hatchets ringes belles and such other thinges trifles vnto vs but precious vnto these kinges which moreouer seéing his great liberalitie demaunded each one a shirt of him to weare onely on their festiuall daies and to bee buried in at their death Which things after that they had receaued and Satourioua had giuen in recompense to Captaine Gourgues two chaines of siluer graines which hung about his necke and each of the kinges certaine Deares skinnes dressed after their manner they retired themselues daunsing and very iocond with promise to keépe all thinges secrete and to bringe vnto the same place good companies of their subiects all well armed to be auenged throughly on the Spaniards In the meane space Gourgues hauing narrowly examined Peter de Bré borne in Newhauen which being but a young stripling escaped out of the fort into the woods while the Spaniards murdered the rest of the French and was afterward brought vp with Satourioua which at that time bestowed him on our Generall whose aduise stoode him in great steéde Whereupon he sent to discouer the fort and the estate of the eminies by certaine of his men being guided by Olotacara Satouriouaes Nephew which he had giuen him for this purpose and for assurance of Estam●es a gentleman of Cominges and others which he sent to discry the state of the enemies Moreouer he gaue him a sonne of his starke naked as all of them are his wife which he loued best of all the rest of eighteéne yeares olde apparelled with the mosse of treés which for threé daies space were in the ships vntill our men returned from discrying the state of the enemie and the kings had furnished their preparation at the rende-vous Their marching being concluded and the sauages rende-vous beeing appointed them beyonde the riuer Salinacani of our men called Somme they all dranke with great solemnity their drinke called Cassine made of the iuice of certaine hearbes as they are wont to doe when they goe to any place of daunger which hath such force that it taketh from them hunger thirst for foure twenty houres Gourgues was fain to make as though he dranke therof for company Afterwarde they lift vp their handes sware all that they would neuer forsake him Olotocara followed him with pike in hand Being all mette at the riuer of Sarauahi not without great trouble by reason of the raine and places full of water which they must neédes passe which hindered their passage they were distressed with famine finding nothing by the waye to eate their Barke of prouision beeing not arriued which was to come vnto him from the shippes the ouersight and charge whereof hee had left vnto Burdelois with the rest of the Mariners Now hee had learned that the Spaniards were foure hundred strong deuided into thrée forts builded and flanked and well fortified vpon the ryuer of May the great fort especially begun by the French and afterward repaired by them vppon the most dangerous and

him as farre as Blay but he was gotten already to Bordeaux to make him yeelde another account of his voyage then that where with he made many Frenchmen right glad The Catholicke king being afterwarde infourmed that Gourgues coulde not easilye be taken offered a great somme of money to him that coulde bringe him his heade praying moreouer king Charles to do iustice on him as of the authour of so bloudye an art contrarye to their alliaunce and good leage of friendshippe In so much as comming to Paris to present himselfe vnto the king to signifie vnto him the successe of his voyage and the meanes which he had to subdue this whole country vnto his obedience wherein hee offered to employe his life and all his goods he found his entertainement and aunswere so contrarye to his expectation that in fine hee was constrained to hide himselfe a long space in the Court of Roan about the yeare 1570. And without the assistaunce of President Marigny in whose house hee remained certaine daies and of the receiuer of Vacquieulx which alwaies was his faithfull friende hee had beene in great daunger Which grieued not a little Dominicke de Gourgues considering the seruices which hee had done aswell vnto him as to his predecessours kinges of Fraunce Hee was borne in Mount Marsan in Guyenne and employed for the seruice of the most Christian kinges in all the armies made since these twentye fiue or thirtie yeares at last hee had the charge and honour of a Captaine which in a place neere vnto Siene with thirty Souldyers sustained the brunt of a part of the Spanish Army by which beeing taken in the assault and hauing all his men cutte in pieces hee was put into a galcy in token of the good warre and singular fauour which the Spaniarde is wont to shewe vs. But as the galey was going toward Sicillie beeing taken by the Turkes ledde away to Rhodes and thence to Constantinople it was shortly afterwarde recouered by Romeguas commaunder ouer the army of Malta By this meane returning home he made a voyage on the coast of Affrica whence hee tooke his course to Bresil and to the south Sea At length being desirous to repaire the honour of Fraunce he sette vpon Florida with such successe as you haue heard So that being become by his continuall warlike actions both by land and Sea no lesse valiant Captaine then skilfull Mariner hee hath made himselfe feared of the Spaniard and acceptable vnto the Queéne of England for the desert of his vertues To conclude he died in the yeare 1582. to the great grief of such as knew him FINIS A Table of the principall thinges that are contained in this historie after the order of the Alphabet The letter B. alwayes signifieth the second page A Accusations against Laudonniere 55. b Aduantage wisely taken 50 Ael●us Pertinax descēding from base parentage became Emperour of Rome 9. b Aequara a king ●6 Agathocles a potters sonne became king of Sicilie 10 Albert left Captain of Charles-fort Ribaults speach vnto him 10. b He is slame by his owne souldiers the causes why 15. b Alcibiades banished by backbiters 52. b An allie of fourehundred pases long 48 Allimacani a king 30. b and 53. b America vnknowne to all antiquity 1. the three generall parts thereof ibidem Americus Vespucius of whom America tooke the name ibidem Anacharaqua a king 26 Ananas a fruite of Great excellency 18. b Appalassy Mountaines rich in mynes of gold 2. b. 40. b. and 54. b Assemblies of the Floridians 3 Astina a king rebelleth against Vtina 43. b Athore the sonne of satourioua 29. b A village of that name 46 Audusta a king 11. b. his great humaitie 39. b Aygles in Florida 22 B Backbiting dangerous 52. b Bahama chanel 35. b Baracou a village in the Isle of Iamaica 35 Base a ryuer fifteen leagues Northward of port Royal. 11 Bay trees of soueraigne odour 22 Beanes very good 3. b Bristowe 59. b Bullets of siluer 23 Bur●all of kinges with the manner and strange ceremonies thereof 3. b Buriall of Priests ibidem Burying of goodes with the dead and the cause why the Floridians doe so 63 C Cadecha a king 26 Caignaueral in 28. degrees 39 Calany a king 26.
