Indians, who fell upon them without
warning.
nN a frosty morning on the eighth
~ of February Father Segura. and
his remaining companions saw several
Indians approaching their log chapel.
There was nothing alarming in their
actions and when they wanted to
borrow the few knives and hatchets
in the possession OF the missionaries
the unsuspectinS Jesuits allowed
themselves to be duped by trans
cut wood.
Weaponless. the missionaries fell
easy victims to treachery.
Too late came the promised help.
Father Rogel, another Jesuit mission
airy, sailed in the Spring of 1911 for
Chesapeake Bay, accompanied by
Brother Juan de Salcedo, in a ship
commanded by Vincente Gonzales.
Arriving, probably in April. or per
haps in March, they followed the
written instructions from Fathers
Segura and Quiros. but when they
got to the river there was no answer
ing signal to their column of smoke.
Suddenly appeared on the shore
several savages dressed in some OF
the garments of the slain JeSuits.
The foolish Indians tried grotesquely
to impersonate their victims.
The hearts of those on the ship
sank. Sadly Father Rogel gave the
word and the ship sailed away.

There is little in letters of Washing

on Wellington and Lear's residence

In Sparks collection of Washing

matter of Lear's employment. 1t is:

children and clerk or private secre-
tary to me will sit at my table, will
live as l live, will mix in the company
who resort to the house, and will be

and proper attention"

5000 a year when he entered Wash

increased during his 16 years service
with Washington l do not know.

this provision:

AS the caravel bearing Don Luis

points Of land which we know today

boy, perhaps Il years of age, who
had been standing near the group
of men on the poop, lost in contem-

before him, at last touched the cop

Jesuits had trained as an altar boy.
And is this your country we are
nearing?" asked Alfonso of the In

This was the true story that Don
Luis might have related to the boy
! Alfonso as the caravel passed inward
between the Capes of Axacan, on that
August day 355 years ago.
So long had the caravel been on
her way from st. Elena and so much
| trouble had been experienced in And.
ing her way in the bad weather. that
her provisions had run short. They
entered a river flowing into the bay
on the west side and made a landing
on September IL.
Here more misfortunes were en-
countered. There had been little rain
for six years. Crops had been poor
and the Indians were short of food

his relatives as one who had come
from heaven" The good Jesuits a,

was brother to Don Luis, lay dying
Several of the Jesuit brothers Travelled
seven or eight leagues from their place
of landing to baptize him and gave
him medicine.
After "a hours the ship that had
brought them made ready to sail
away. 1t was so short of food that it
was not deemed wise to remain long
er. Fathers Segura and Quiros hur
riedly wrote letters to be carried back
by the pilot of the caravel.
IT is upon vague references in the
letters of Fathers Quiros and Segura
that the opinion of Shea and some
other historians rests that the Poto
| mac was the river up which they first
sailed and the Rappahannock was the
river on which they established their
mission.
If we were to accept this view we
would come naturally to the conclu
sion that the place of landing was
or Potomac Creek.
Left alone on this lonely shore
when the ship sailed away. the little
band of Jesuits was entirely at the
mercy of the Indians. Don Luis had
professed great religious zeal and
promised to help them. They believed
