To bee short, it is a thing vnspeakable to consider the thinges that bee scene there, and shalbe founde more and more in this incomperable lande."^ ^ The True and Last Discoverie of Florida, made by Captain John BibauU, in the Yeere 1562, dedicated to a great Nobleman in Frauncef Digitized by Google 38 JEAN RIBAUT. [1562.

"And on the next morning," says Ribault, "we returned to land againe, accom- panied with the Captaines, Gentlemen, and Souldiers, and others of our small troope, carrying with us a Pillour or columne of harde stone, our king's armes graved therein, to plant and set the same in the enteric of the Porte; and being come thither we espied on the south syde of the Riuer a place very fitte for that purpose upon a little hill compassed with Cypres, Bayes, Paulmes, and other trees, with sweete smelling and pleasant shrubbes." Here they set the column, and then, again embarking, held their course northward, happy in that benign decree and translated into Englishe by one Thomas Hackit.
