We are particular in these details, in the hope that future explorers may be thus assisted in the work of identifying the places marked by our Huguenots. Everything which they see in the new world which surrounds them, is imposing to the eye and grateful to the sense. They wander among avenues of gigantic pines that remind them of the mighty colonnades in the great cathedrals of the old world. They are at once exhilarated by a sense of unwonted freshness and beauty in what they behold, and by aspects of grandeur and vastness which solemnize all their thoughts and fancies. With these feelings, when, in their wanderings, they arouse from the shady covers where they browsed "two stagges of exceeding bignesse, in respect of those which _they_ had seene before," their captain forbids that they should shoot them, though they might easily have done so. The anecdote speaks well for Ribault's humanity. It was not wholly because he was "moved with the singular fairenesse and bignesse of them," as Laudonniere imagines, but because his soul was lifted with religious sentiment--filled with worship at that wondrous temple of nature in which the great Jehovah seemed visibly present, in love and mercy, as in the first sweet days of the creation. To the little river which surrounded the islet, on which the pillar was raised, they gave the name of "Liborne." The island itself is supposed to be that which is now called Lemon Island. The matter is one which still admits of doubt, though scarcely beyond the reach of certainty, in a close examination from the guide posts which we still possess. It is a question which may well provoke the diligence of the local antiquary. "Another isle, not far distant from" that of the pillar, next claimed the attention of the voyagers. Here they "found nothing but tall cedars, the fairest that were seene in this country. For this cause wee called it the Isle of Cedars."
