des Isles de l'Amerique par M. de Poincy, le 15 Novembre 1640").

According to the records of the Providence Company, Tortuga in 1640 had
300 inhabitants. A Captain Fload, who had been governor, was then in
London to clear himself of charges preferred against him by the
planters, while a Captain James was exercising authority as "President"
in the island. (C.S.P. Colon., 1574-1660. pp. 313, 314.) Fload was
probably the "English captain" referred to in de Poincy's memoir. His
oppressive rule seems to have been felt as well by the English as by the
French.]
