Tli col lists took with them a specimen of the new commoditv to Fmdasd, r.nd aught their couutrvmen how to use t, which Raleigh and some young nen of fashion fondly adopted. A few days after Drake departed rom Roanoke, with the colonists on oard, a small vessel sent by Raleigh, vith a -supply of stores for the colo- ly, arrived at Roanoke, but on find- ng it deserted bv their countrvmen. eturned to England. About two veeks later, Sir Richard Grenville' ppeared with three ship-i laden with upplievbut after searching iu vain or the colony which he had planted, md withou) being able to learn what lad befallen it, he left fifteen men to .old possession of the Island, and re turned to England. However, the ill success of the col- ny under Lane did not deter Raleigh rom further effort, but he displayed uore wisdom in his next attempt by letermininz to send cut an a?ri cultural colony; and to this, to send emigrRnt) with wives aint families, who should make their homes in the New World. That life and nrovertr might be secure, he granted a chart -r of incorporation for the settlement, nd establish a municipal government ror "the city of Raleigh," which was to be built when. vor they determined to settle. He appointed John White governor, who, with eleven assistants, was to administer the affairs of the colony. A fleet of three ships was fitted out, and -laden with the emi grants and an ample provision of the Implements of husbandry, they sailed, M April, 1S7, for America. In July they arrived as the Island of Roanoke, but the tenements of the former colonists "were deserted, .hu man bones lay scattered in the field, and the fort wa-rin ruins. No human beiug was to be found. The fifteen men, left by Grenville, to hold pos session of the Island, had been mur dered by the In lians. Raleigh had instructed the new colony, to form their settlement ou the Bay of the Chesapeake, but Fernando, the na val officer, who was eager to renew a profitable traffic iu the West Indies, refused t assist I in exploring the coast, anl White was compelled to remain , on Roanoke Island. - L ine had built his fort on the northern ex tremity of the Inland, and there tlv foundation of the "City. of Rileigh" was lad. vestiges of whieh are t' be seen at the present day. - Some of the Indians were jealous of the English, and showed th-ir h.s-. tility by murdering one of White's sist.inlL"'Ne -mother anl dred oTW. Moraed them Island of Croatan.' and a m il friendship was established and c :i tinued. Bv the command of Walter Raleigh; Mauteo, the faithful Indian chief, received christian baptism, and was invested with the rank of feudal baron, a the "Lord of Roanoke." Ou carefully viewing their situa tion, the colonists discovered that they were destitute of many thiugs thev deemed absolutely necessary to th ir subs istence in such an uncom fortab!eituation,aud they all joined in soliciting White to return to Eng laud to solicit the supply on which depended the existence if the colony. From a usc of duty an I honor White was loth o leave the people he had Wen appointed to care for and govern, but he at length yielded to their importunity, and resolved to re turn with the ships. HoVever. be fore bis departure, his daughter, El eanor Dare, the wife of one t the as sistants, gave birth to a female child, the first off-pring of English parents . :i rtu TTiJiid Sta'es- ' I The child was named fro n the plac; j Hini i.-t ili- Universal ex ,und mean.- to furnish uppii , ?! -ir-pstv!i- ith u.en fir llie icnef oi unetiiig coiouy at iioan .we. u;i they desiring a tram nil .voyage, r m iii pursuit of prizes, until at last they fell ia with men-of-war by whom one of-tile ships was boarded and rifled, after which thev both returned to 1 England, and the distres-ed colonists received no relief.
