Text Appearing Before Image:
f the men of our company; and we arrivedat last, after this perilous and lamentable voyage, at 50 THE HISTORY AND ANTIQUITIES Koclielle; where we were received and treated veryhiiraanely and kindly by tlie inhabitants of thecountry and those of the city, giving us of theirmeans, to the extent our necessities required; andassisted by their kindness we were each enabled toreturn to his own part of the country.* Laudonnieresf narrative speaks more of his ownpersonal escape; and that of Le Moyne J refers to thisdescription of De Challeux, as containing a full andaccurate account of what took place. Barcia men-tions De Challeux very contemptuously as a carpen-ter, who succeeding badly at his trade took up thatof preaching, but does not deny the truth of hisnarrative. Those who separated from their com-rades and threw themselves upon their enemiesmercy, are mentioned by the Spanish writers; butthey are silent as to the treatment they received.

Text Appearing After Image:
OF ST. AUGUSTINE, FLORIDA. 51 CHAPTER VI. SITE OF FORT CAROLINE, AFTERWARDS CALLED SAN MATTEO. It might naturally be supposed that a spot sur-rounded with SO many thrilling and interesting asso-ciations, as the scene of the events we have justrelated, would have been commemorated either bytradition or by ancient remains attesting its situation.But, in truth, no recognized point now bears the appel-lation of Fort Caroline, and the antiquary can pointat this day to no fosse or parapet, no crumblingbastion, no ancient helm or buckler, no shatteredand corroded garniture of war mingled with thebones of the dead, as evidencing its position. A writer who has himself done more to rescuefrom oblivion the historical romance of the Souththan any other,* has well said, It will be an em-ployment of curious interest, whenever the peopleof Florida shall happen upon the true site of thesettlement and structure of Laudonniere, to trace * W. Gilmore Simms, Esq. 52 THE HISTORY AND ANTIQUITIES out in det
