It was a long time before the Dutch East India Company directors learned of the arrival of the “Half Moon” and heard from Hudson. Then they ordered the ship and crew to return as soon as possible. But when they were going to do so, Hudson and other Englishmen were commanded by the government not to leave England, but to serve their own country. These things took place in January, 1610. After a detention of eight months in England the “Half Moon” reached Amsterdam in the summer of 1610. April 17, 1610, Henry Hudson, in the vessel “Discovery,” with many of his crew of former voyages, sailed from England in the service of three Englishmen, Sir Thomas Smythe, Sir Dudley Digges, and John Wolstenholme, in quest of an all-water route to India through the Davis strait. After entering the bay named Hudson, in his honor, he spent much time in trying to find an outlet from it to the Pacific ocean on the way to China, but unsuccessfully. His crew became quarrelsome, and some of them mutinous. Among the worst were two he had favored most—one his mate, Juet, and another, a Mr. Green, a worthless, degenerate fellow. Juet was tried for insubordination—for attempting to incite to mutiny—found guilty and deposed. The winter of 1610-1611 was a hard one—their provisions were short, owing to a treatment of a native by some of the crew—they could obtain no game from the Indians, nor could they catch fish. It was said, perhaps falsely, that Hudson became very tyrannical, and said something that his enemies thought he meant to prolong his scanty supplies by getting rid of several of the crew. June, 1611, a few days after leaving one of the most southern harbors of James bay (a southern portion of Hudson bay) where they had wintered, a mutiny broke out among the crew. Hudson was seized and bound, and he, his son and seven others, principally sick and infirm, were put in a small boat and set adrift upon the waves, destined soon to perish. Thus ended, in tragedy, the career of a remarkable man, whose appearance upon the theater had not extended a half dozen years. To commemorate the tercentenary of _Hendrick_ Hudson’s _discovery_ of the Hudson river would be on a false basis—at war with historical facts. Hudson’s name was _Henry_ (as has been clearly established) and not _Hendrick_, as doubtless the Dutch wanted him to become a Hollander on his entering the service of the Dutch East India Company. There is no evidence that Henry Hudson was ever in Holland except late in the year 1608 and early in the year 1609. It is certain that he did not see Holland after his expedition on behalf of the Dutch East India Company, and that born in England, he remained an Englishman, for that government forbid him, as an Englishman, to leave and enter any other service.
