Captain Davis was up the river with another portion. Tiiey also dug wells, built fifty houses, a church and a store-house, " not, of course, like the houses, or like the churches, of modern civilization. When Captain Davis returned from England in the spring, though Presi- dent Popham was dead,... all things were found "in a good state of forwardness. Many furs were obtained, good store of sarsaparilhi, and tlie pinnace was linislied.

Here then it seems to me there is evidence of the most satisfactory character, that these persons were not only intent on, and obedient to, the purposes for which they were sent here, l)ut were also men of energy and determination.
