And afterwards were erected not far from thatplace the arms of England engraven in lead, and infixed upon a pillar ofwood. Yet further and actually to establish this possession taken in theright of her Majesty, and to the behoof of Sir Humfrey Gilbert, knight, his heirs and assigns for ever, the General granted in fee-farm diversparcels of land lying by the water-side, both in this harbour of St. John, and elsewhere, which was to the owners a great commodity, beingthereby assured, by their prop...er inheritance, of grounds convenient todress and to dry their fish; whereof many times before they did fail, being prevented by them that came first into the harbour. For whichgrounds they did covenant to pay a certain rent and service unto SirHumfrey Gilbert, his heirs or assigns for ever, and yearly to maintainpossession of the same, by themselves or their assigns. Now remained only to take in provision granted, according as every shipwas taxed, which did fish upon the coast adjoining. In the meanwhile, the General appointed men unto their charge: some to repair and trim theships, others to attend in gathering together our supply and provisions:others to search the commodities and singularities of the country, to befound by sea or land, and to make relation unto the General what eitherthemselves could know by their own travail and experience, or by goodintelligence of Englishmen or strangers, who had longest frequented thesame coast.
