in the original. The
translation is contained in the rare black-letter tract of Hakinyt
called Divers Voyages (London, 1582), a copy of which is in the library
of Harvard College. It has been reprinted by the Hakluyt Society. The
journal first appeared in 1563, under the title of The Whole and True
Discoverie of Terra Florida (Englished The Florishing Land). This
edition is of extreme rarity.]

[Footnote 10: Ribaut thinks that the Broad River of Port Royal is the
Jordan of the Spanish navigator Yasquez de Ayllon, who was here in 1520,
and gave the name of St. Helena to a neighboring cape (Garcilaso,
Florida del Inca). The adjacent district, now called St. Helena, is the
Chicora of the old Spanish maps.]

[Footnote 11: No trace of this fort has been found. The old fort of
which the remains may be seen a little below Beaufort is of later date.]

[Footnote 12: For all the latter part of the chapter, the authority is
the first of the three long letters of Rena de Laudonniere, Companion of
Ribaut and his successor in command. They are contained in the Histoire
Notable de la Floride, compiled by Basanier (Paris, 1586), and are also
to he found, quaintly "done into English," in the third volume of
Hakluyt's great collection. In the main, they are entitled to much
confidence.]

[Footnote 13: Above St. John's Bluff the shore curves in a semicircle,
along which the water runs in a deep, strong current, which has half cut
away the flat knoll above mentioned, and encroached greatly on the bluff
itself. The formation of the ground, joined to the indicatons furnished
by Laudonniere and Le Moyne, leave little doubt that the fort was built
on the knoll.]

[Footnote 14: I La Caille, as before mentioned, was Laudonniere's
sergeant. The feudal rank of sergeant, it will be remembered, was widely
different from the modern grade so named, and was held by men of noble
birth. Le Moyne calls La Caille "Captain."]

[Footnote 15: Laudonniere in Hakinyt, III. 406. Brinton, Floridian
Peninsula, thinks there is truth in the story, and that Lake Weir, in
Marion County, is the Lake of Sarrope. I give these romantic tales as I
find them.]

[Footnote 16: This scene is the subject of Plate XII. of Le Moyne.]

[Footnote 17: Le Moyne drew a picture of the fight (Plate XIII.). In the
foreground Ottigny is engaged in single combat with a gigantic savage,
who, with club upheaved, aims a deadly stroke at the plumed helmet of
his foe; but the latter,
