exercis’d their Cruelty upon the dead, pulling out their Eyes, and cutting off their Members, carrying them in Triumph on the Points of their Swords. In the interim, the Storm ceasing, _Ribald_ approach’d _Charles-Fort_, with his shatter’d Fleet, but was so amaz’d when he saw the _Spanish_ Flag set upon the Walls, and _Vallemond_ marching towards him with a Squadron of _Spaniards_, that although a River lay between them, yet he presently came to a Treaty, and deliver’d up all his Men, being above four hundred, upon promise of good Quarter; but the _Spaniards_ in stead of keeping their Agreement, bound them, leading them all to the Castle, where, both against their Articles, and the Law of Arms, they massacred them, and burnt their Bodies; but _Ribald_ being quarter’d, they fix’d his Limbs upon Poles about the Walls, sending his Head to _Sevil_. When _Charles_ the Ninth, King of _France_, receiv’d notice hereof, he was not in the least concern’d at the _Spanish_ Cruelty us’d to his Subjects, out of a particular hatred to _Coligni_, the first Promoter of the Voyage. But though the _French_ Crown so little regarded the inhumane Usage committed by the _Spaniards_ in _Charles-Fort_, yet _Dominicus Gurgie_ shew’d himself so highly concern’d thereat, that turning all his Goods into Money, he levied two hundred Soldiers, and fourscore Sea-men, which he put aboard three small Ships, pretending that he would onely touch at _Brasile_; but sailing beyond _Cuba_, he stood directly for _Florida_, where after his Landing he was kindly receiv’d by _Saturiona_ the King, who complaining much against the _Spaniards_ Oppressions, sent to joyn with him his Kinsman _Olotocara_, having the Command of a great Army.
