^^ So discouraging was the outlook that Gates determined to abandon the settlement. On June 7th, the survivors embarked, floating down with the tide, "none dropping a tear, because none had enjoyed one day of ha, ppiness. " But on the next day, they sighted a squadron commanded by Lord Delaware, who had de- cided to take charge of the colony in person. So they returned. Thomas West, Lord Delaware, had been appointed Gover- nor General the year before; but he had delayed his journey to America u...ntil he realised that conditions demanded his presence. His instructions were similar to those received by Gates. He was ordered "to take principall order and care for the true worship and service of god as by havinge the gospell preched frequent prayers and the sacram'® administred as becometh xtians. " His minis- ters were to be held in respect, "agreable to theire dignitie and callinge;" and atheism, prophaneness, popery, and schism were to be punished. Efforts were to be made to convert the Indians; and strategy was recommended to circumvent the influence of the savage priests.^" When Lord Delaware first landed, he caused his company in arms to stand in order and make a guard; then he fell upon his knees, and in the presence of the people made a long and silent prayer.
