In the mean time, he was on the

with a party, to, Croatan,, probably

Suddenly, he reported great fleet Of
twenty sail in sight, whica proved to
be the squadron commanded by the
celebrated Sir Francis Drake, who was
returning from one of his expeditions
among the Spanish settlements in the
West Indies. When Drake left Eng

just off Nagg's Head now celebrated
as the scene of the temporary sliourn
and flight Of Governor Wise, and sup
piled them with the needed provisions.
He also made them an offer OF one Of
his small vessels, which they very gladly
accepted. - ..:
But storm, which continued for
many days, came upon them; the pro-
missed bark was driven to sea the open
roadstead, where the larger ships were
compelled to anchor, made Roanoke
an undesirable location, and as the
time had long expired when the prom
ised reintorcements should have ar,
d2riyed from England, this disappoint,
ment, together with the. hostilities Of
the Indians, so discouraged the leaders
of the colony, that they solicited and
obtained from brakes passage to Eng

after little less than years residence
in the new land, they all sailed fol
