When this piece of barbarity had been completed, the little French barque made its final exit from Stage Harbor, passed successfully round the shoals of Monomoy, and anchored near Nauset, where they remained a day or two, leaving on the 28th of October, and sailing directly to Isle Haute in Penobscot Bay. They made brief stops at some of the islands at the mouth of the St. Croix, and at the Grand Manan, and arrived at Annapolis Basin on the 14th of November, after an exceedingly rough passage and many hair-breadth escapes. ENDNOTES: 50. On Lescarbot's map of 1609, this elevation is denominated _Mont de la Roque_. _Vide_ also Vol. II. note 180. 51. Lescarbot locates Poutrincourt's fort on the same spot which he called _Manefort_, the site of the present village of Annapolis. 52. "Doncques l'an 1607, tous les François estans reuenus (ainsi qu'a esté dict) le Sieur de Potrincourt présenta à feu d'immortelle memorie Henry le Grand la donnation à luy faicte par le sieur de Monts, requérant humblement Sa Majesté de la ratifier. Le Roy eut pour agréable la dicte Requeste," &c. _Relations des Jésuites_, 1611, Quebec ed., Vol. I. p. 25. _Vide_ Vol. II. of this work, p 37. 53. This scene is well represented on Champlain's map of _Beauport_ or Gloucester Harbor. _Vide_ Vol. II. p. 114. 54. _Le Port aux Huistres_, Barnstable Harbor. _Vide_ Vol. II. Note 208. 55. _Port Fortuné_ In giving this name there was doubtless an allusion to the goddess FORTUNA of the ancients, whose office it was to dispense riches and poverty, pleasures and pains, blessings and calamities. They had experienced good and evil at her fickle hand. They had entered the harbor in peril and fear, but nevertheless in safety. They had suffered by the attack of the savages, but fortunately had escaped utter annihilation, which they might well have feared. It had been to them eminently the port of hazard or chance. _Vide_ Vol. II Note 231 _La Soupçonneuse_. _Vide_ Vol. II, Note 227. CHAPTER V.
