Tue prophetic quotation which the author of this work has placed upon his title-page, seems to indicate an anticipation on his part, that his manuscript would one day be printed; and its interesting date and curious details, have given the Editor reason to congratulate himself upon the fact, that the Hakluyt Society is the “ veneration” prognosticated. Two copies of the manuscript, both in the-author’s handwriting (for there are a sufficient number of instances of it in the British Museum to prove its identity), are all that have come under the Editor’s notice; one in the Sloane Collection, No. 1622, in the British Museum, from which the present publication has been transcribed; and the other among the Ash- molean Manuscripts, No. 1754. The only difference between these two, is an alteration in the title of the second book, and the addition to the titles, both of the first and second books, of the motto of Alget qui non ardet. The Museum copy is dedicated to Sir Francis Bacon, “ Lord High Chancellor”; and that in the Ashmolean Library to Sir Allen Apsley, ‘“ Purveyor to His Majesties Navie Royall.” Vill PREFACE, That the author was a man of an intelligent and observing mind will be evident from a perusal of the following pages. That he was a man of considerable learning will be likewise evident; although it must be acknowledged that he was not without a tincture of the pedantry common to the age, which has led him occasionally to illustrate his descriptions by the em- _ ployment of classical expressions, and those of such an unusual character, that the Editor has been compelled, in his duty to the reader, to make annotations appa- rently but little suited to the general tenour of the narrative. This defect, however, it is hoped, will be found to be amply compensated by the intrinsic merit of the work itself, especially when the date at which it was written is taken into consideration. R. H. M. Boy8.i che SraglshlE hak MONCHEN INTRODUCTION. Tne Eprror was extremely desirous of commencing this introduction with a short biographical notice of William Strachey, the author of the following pages ; but notwithstanding that he has used his best ex- ertious, he has been unsuccessful in discovering any- thing more respecting him, than such few points as connect him immediately with the subject of the work itself.'! The place and date of his birth, as well as those of his death, are unknown. That he was a person of importance in Virginia we shall hereafter show. But in the absence of sufficient materials to make even the . 1 The Editor having communicated with Sir Henry Strachey, Bart., of Sutton Court, Somersetshire, as to the possibility of his connexion with the Strachey of this MS., was kindly permitted, through the obliging medium of Edward Strachey, Esq. of Clifton, and William Strachey, Esq. of London, to inspect the family pedigree. From this it appeared that there was a William Strachey of Saffron Walden, who was married in 1588, and was alive in 1620, a range of years including the period of our MS.: but no mention was made of his having been to Virginia. It is remarkable, however, that his grandson of the same name is espe- cially referred to as having emigrated to that place. It would appear not improbable that the former of them may be identical with the Virginian adventurer, and that the latter may have gone to America under the influence of his grandfather’s distinguished connexion with the colony. Mention is made twice or thrice in various of the Harleian MSS. of a William Strachey of Saffron Walden about the same period. b il INTRODUCTION. slightest biographical sketch, the Editor has thought it better simply to introduce his name at those points of the following introductory outline of the progress of the colony, where it naturally falls in with the thread of the narrative. It is presumed that the two following questions will most naturally suggest themselves, upon the perusal of our title-page. First, what is the period of this Historie of Travaile? and secondly, what degree of interest does the date of the narrative involve, with reference to the history of the country of which it treats? The period referred to in our title-page, ranges over 1610, 1611, and 1612; and if we call to mind that the first definite settlement of Virginia, or in other words, the first permanent colonization of America by the British, took place only in 1607, it must be evident that this period is one of the highest interest to all who read with pleasure what Hakluyt calls “ the industrious labors and painefull travels of our coun- trymen.” The title of the English to the soil of which we eventually gained possession, as well as the description of the principal previous visitations of our country- men to the western coasts of America—both points forming suitable introductory matter to a work like the present—have been dealt with by the author him- self, all quaintly and ‘briefly though it be, in the suc- ceeding pages. His ‘premonition to the reader” leaves all allusion to the first question unnecessary; and the second book (which might more correctly have been the first instead of the second), embodies the narrative of those earlier voyages, which though un- INTRODUCTION. iil successful in effecting settlements, paved the way to the ultimate colonization of the country. Many attempts at this great object had been made by the English, under the command of Sir Hugh Willoughby and Martin Frobisher, and finally under patents granted by Elizabeth in the early part of her reign to Sir Humphrey Gilbert and Sir Walter Raleigh, but without any permanently favourable result. These several voyages, however, though falling short of the purpose for which they were originated, were not unproductive of interesting narratives (brief, it is true, but unitedly too lengthy even for a digested repetition here), which may yet, perhaps, be appro- priately enumerated for the reader’s advantage for reference.

At the time of the death of Queen Elizabeth, one hundred and eleven years subsequent to the great dis- covery of the Western World by Columbus, the Spa- niards, on whose behalf his discovery had been made, were the sole permanent settlers in this wide and wealthy continent. In 1606, the French began to make settle- ments in Canada and Acadie, now Nova Scotia, but it was not till 1607 that the enterprise, which was finally — Bi INTRODUCTION. Vv destined to lay the foundation of British occupancy of American soil, was undertaken. Twenty-threeyears had expired since the patent had been granted to Sir Walter Raleigh to discover and take possession, with little less than royal privileges, of remote heathen and barbarous lands, hitherto not actually possessed by any Christian prince; and yet not an acre of American soil had hitherto;become the property of the English. The attainder of this enterprising and highly gifted man would seem to have been, by some inexplicable decree of Providence, a signal for the commencement of that success which had been denied to nearly thirty several voyages, the furnishing of which had cost him a fortune and the persevering exertions of the best portion of an energetic and influential life. It was shortly after this period, viz., A° 1605-6, that Richard Hakluyt, the “ presidium et dulce decus” of our society, to whom, as Robertson justly remarks, “ England is more indebted for its American possessions than to any man of that age”, used influential arguments with va- rious gentlemen of condition, to induce them to present a petition to King James, to grant them patents for the settlement of two plantations on the Coast of North America. This petition issued in the concession of a charter, bearing date the 10th of April, 1606, by which the tract of country lying between the thirty- fourth and forty-fifth degrees of latitude was to be divided into nearly equal portions, between two com- panies; that occupying the southern portion to be called the first colony (subsequently named the Lon- don Company), and that occupying the northern, to be called the second colony (subsequently named the Plymouth Company). The patent also vested in each vi INTRODUCTION. colony a right of property over fifty miles of the land, extending along the coast each side of the point of first occupation, and a hundred miles inland. The chief adventurers in the London or South Virginian Company, with which as the first settlement we now have principally to do, were Sir Thomas Gates, Sir George Somers, Richard Hakluyt, and Edward Maria Wingfield. The command of the expedition was com- mitted to Captain Newport. By a strange caprice of the king—who, with a pedantry in keeping with his general character and little consonant with the wisdom necessary for the direction of important enterprises, had undertaken the personal dictation of the instructions for the colony, and the appointment of the members of the council,—these instructions were sent carefully sealed up and enclosed in a box not to be opened till after the arrival in Virginia. ‘The result of this ab- surdity was, that the main body of the adventurers knew not to whom they had to look as president, so that in the absence of specified authority, the prepon- derance of personal talents or energy in any individual among their officers, would naturally attract the atten- tion and respect of those who felt the need of an able and determined leader. Such an one presented him- self in Captain John Smith, who had already distin- guished himself by feats of surpassing skill and daring in the wars of Transylvania and Hungary. It was in April 1607, that the expedition approached the shores of America, and after encountering a vio- lent tempest and being driven out of their reckoning, came in sight of the magnificent bay of Chesapeake. Upon opening the box containing the instructions “~ in the which there lyeth soe many islands and so thicke and neere togither, that can hardly be dis- cerned the nomber, yet may any shipp passe betwixt, the greatest parte of them having seldome lesse water than eight or ten fathome about them.

September. 31. And lst of September, 2nd, 3rd, and 4th, nothing was done, but only for the furtheraunce and buyldinge of the fort and storehouse to receave ashore their victualls. 5. About noone, there came into the entraunce of the river of Sachadehoe and soe unto the fort, as our people were at their worke, nine canoes with forty salvadges in them, men, women, and children, and amongst them was Nahanada and Skidwares. They came up into the fort, and the presi- dent gave them meat and drinck, and used them exceeding kindly. Two or three howers they remayned there and then they parted, Skidwares and an other salvadge staying still, with whome at night Captain Gilbert, James Davies, and Ellis Beast, went over to the farthest side of the river, whe- ther all the rest had withdrawen themselves, and there re- mayned with them all the night; and early in the morninge, the salvadges departed in their canoas for the river of Pama- quid, promising Captain Gilbert to accompany him in their canoas to the river of Penobscott, where the bassaba dwells. 6. And 7th, the busines of the fort only attended. 8. Captain Gilbert, with twenty-two others, departed in the shallop for the river of Penobscot, taking with him divers sorts of marchandize to trade with the bassaba; but by reason the wynd held easterly, being contrary, yt was three daies before he gott into the river of Penobscot. 11. Early in the morning they came into the river of Pamaquid, there to call Nahanada and Skidwares to goe along with them; but, being arrived there, they found that they were all gone from thence unto the river of Penobscot before, wherefore, they sett sayle for that river ; and all that day, as likewise the 12th and 13th, they sayled and searched to the eastward, yet by noe meanes could find the river, for o INTO VIRGINIA. 175 which they returned, their victuals spent, and the wynd large and good, and in too dayes arrived againe at the fort, having had a sight, the 15th in the morning, of a blasing starr in the nor-east of them. The 16th, 17th, 18th, 19th, 20th, 21st, 22nd, all labored about the fort and buylding up of the storehouse. CAPUT X. The death of Capt. Popham ; Capt. Gilbert disposeth of himself for Eng- land when the companie woud then stay no longer, albeit Capt. Davies returned unto them with a great supply from England. 23. Captain Gilbert, accompanied with nineteen others, departed in his shallop, to goe for the head of the river of Sachadehoc. They sayled all this daye, and the 24th the like, untill six of the clock in the afternoone, when they landed on the river’s side, where they found a champion land and very fertile, where they remayned all that night. 25. In the morning, they departed from thence and sayled up the river and came to a flatt low island where ys a great cataract or downfall of water, which runneth by both sides of this island very shold and swift. In this island they found great store of grapes, both redd and white; good hopps, as also chiballs and garlike; they haled their boat with a strong rope through this downfall perforce, and went neere a league further up, and here they lay all night; and in the first of the night there called certaine salvages on the further side of the river unto them in broken English ; they answeared them againe and parted long with them, when towards morning they departed. 1 Query, Swan island, a few miles up the river; the fall of water round which may be more properly called a downfall of water than a cataract. The first great fall of water from the mouth of the river is that at Waterville : but there is no island at that spot laid down in the best modern maps. + ~ me SO a nN ——=———- 176 HISTORTE OF TRAVAILE 26. In the morning there came a canoa unto them, and in her a Sagamo and four salvages, some of those which spoke to them the night before. The Sagamo called his name Sebenoa, and told us how he was lord of the river Sachadedoc. They entertayned him friendly, and tooke him into their boat and presented him with some triffling things, which he accepted; howbeyt, he desired some one of our men to be put into his canoa as a pawne of his safety, where- upon Captain Gilbert sent in a man of his, when presently the canoa rowed away from them with all the speed they could make up the river. They followed with the shallop, haying great care that the Sagamo should not leape over- bourd. The canoa quickly rowed from them and landed, and the men made to their howses, being neere a league on the land from the river’s side, and carried our man with them. The shallop making good waye, at length came to another downefall, which was so shallowe and soe swift, that by noe meanes they could passe any further, for which, Captain Gilbert, with nine others, landed and tooke their fare, the salvadge Sagamo, with them, and went in search after those other salvages, whose howses, the Sagamo told Captain Gilbert, were not farr off; and after a good tedious march, they came indeed at length unto those salvages’ howses, wheere found neere fifty able men very strong and tall, such as their like before they had not seene; all newly painted and armed with their bowes and arrowes. Howbeyt, after that the Sagamo had talked with them, they delivered back again the man, and used all the rest very friendly, as did ours the like by them, who shewed them their comodities of beads, knives, and some copper, of which they seemed very fond; and by waye of trade, made shew that they would - come downe to the boat and there bring such things as they had to exchange them for ours. Soe Captain Gilbert departed from them, and within half an howre after he had gotten to his boat, there came three canoas down unto them, and in INTO VIRGINIA. 177 them some sixteen salvages, and brought with them some tobacco and certayne small skynes, which were of no value ; which Captain Gilbert perceaving, and that they had nothing ells wherewith to trade, he caused all his men to come abourd, and as he would have putt from the shore; the sal- vadges perceiving so much, subtilely devised how they might put out the fier in the shallop, by which meanes they sawe they should be free from the danger of our men’s pieces, and to performe the same, one of the salvadges came into the shallop and taking the fier brand which one of our company held in his hand thereby to light the matches, as if he would light a pipe of tobacco, as sone as he had gotten yt into his hand he presently threw it into the water and leapt out of the shallop. Captain Gilbert seeing that, suddenly com- manded his men to betake them to their musketts and the targettiers too, from the head of the boat, and bad one of the men before, with his targett on his arme, to stepp on the shore for more fier; the salvages resisted him and would not suffer him to take any, and some others holding fast the boat roap that the shallop could not putt off. Captain Gil- bert caused the musquettiers to present their peeces, the which, the salvages seeing, presently lett goe the boatroap and betooke them to their bowes and arrowes, and ran into the bushes, nocking their arrowes, but did not shoot, neither did ours at them. So the shallop departed from them to the further side of the river, where one of the canoas came unto them, and would have excused the fault of the others. Captain Gilbert made shew as if he were still friends, and entertayned them kindlye and soe left them, returning to the place where he had lodged the night before, and there came to an anchor for that night. The head of the river standeth in 45 degrees and odd mynutts. Upon the con- tinent they found aboundance of spruse trees such as are able to maast the greatest ship his majestie hath, and many other trees, oke, walnutt, pineaple ; fish, aboundance; great AA 178 HISTORIE OF TRAVAILE store of grapes, hopps, and chiballs, also they found certaine codds in which they supposed the cotton wooll to grow, and also upon the bancks many shells of pearle. 27. Here they sett up a crosse and then returned home- ward, in the way seeking the by river of some note called Sasanoa. This daye and the next they sought yt, when the weather turned fowle and full of fog and raine, they made all hast to the fort before which, the 29th, they arrived. 80. and 1 and 2 of October, all busye about the fort. 8. There came a canoa unto some of the people of the fort as they were fishing on the sand, in which was Skid- wares, who badd them tell their president that Nahanada, with the Bashabaes brother and others, were on the further side of the river, and the next daie would come and visitt hin. 4. There came two canoas to the fort, in which were Nahanada and his wife, and Skidwares, and the Basshabaes brother, and one other called Amenquin, a Sagamo; all whome the president feasted and entertayned with all kind- nes, both that day and the next, which being Sondaye, the president carried them with him to the place of publike prayers, which they were at both morning and evening, at- tending yt with great reverence and silence. 6. The salvadges departed all except Amenquin the Sa- gamo, who would needes staye amongst our people a longer tyme. Upon the departure of the others, the president gave unto every one of them copper beades, or knives, which con- tented them not a little, as also delivered a present unto the Basshabae’s brother, and another for his wife, giving him to understand that he would come unto his court in the river of Penobscot, and see him very-shortly, bringing many such like of his country commodityes with him. You maie please to understand how, whilst this busines was thus followed here, soone after their first arrivall, that had dispatch’t away Capt. Robert Davies, in the Mary. and INTO VIRGINIA. 179 John, to advertise of their safe arrival and forwardnes of their plantacion within this river of Sachadehoc, with letters to the Lord Chief Justice, ymportuninge a supply for the most necessary wants to the subsisting of a colony, to be sent unto them betymes the next yeare. After Capt. Davies’ departure they fully finished the fort, trencht and fortefied yt with twelve pieces of ordinaunce, and built fifty howses therein, besides a church and a storehowse; and the carpenters framed a pretty Pynnace of about some thirty tonne, which they called the Virginia; the chief ship wright being one Digby of London. Many discoveries likewise had been made both to the mayne and unto the neighbour rivers, and the frontier na- tions fully discovered by the diligence of Capt. Gilbert, had not the wynter proved soe extreame unseasonable and frosty ; for yt being in the yeare 1607, when the extraordinary frost was felt in most parts of Europe, yt was here likewise as vehement, by which noe boat could stir upon any busines. Howbeyt, as tyme and occasyon gave leave, there was nothing omitted which could add unto the benefitt or knowledg of the planters, for which when Capt. Davies arrived there in the yeare following (sett out from Topsam, the port towne of Exciter, with a shipp laden full of victualls, armes, instru- ments, and tooles, etc.), albeyt, he found Mr. George Popham, the president, and some other dead, yet he found all things in good forwardnes, and many kinds of furrs obteyned from the Indians by way of trade; good store of sarsaparilla gathered, and the new pynnace all finished. But by reason that Capt. Gilbert received letters that his brother was newly dead, and a faire portion of land fallen unto his share, which required his repaier home, and noe mynes discovered, nor hope thereof, being the mayne intended benefit expected to uphold the charge of this plantacion, and the feare that all other wynters would prove like the first, the company by no means would stay any longer in the country, especyally Capt. 180 HISTORIE OF TRAVAILE, ETC. Gilbert being to leave them, and Mr. Popham, as aforesaid, dead ; wherefore they all ymbarqued in this new arrived shipp, and in the new pynnace, the Virginia, and sett saile for England. And this was the end of that northerne colony uppon the river Sachadehoc. Bayerische Sractsb.uotiak MONCHEN FINIS, A DICTIONARIE THE INDIAN LANGUAGE.
