Method of Procedure

1. Assigned reading: Gambrill, pp. 6-8.

2. The voyage.

a. The stop at the Barbadoes.
(It is necessary that the class understand something of England’s colonial territory at the time: England colonized Barbadoes in 1625, after it had been depopulated by the Spanish. The island had, therefore, been under English control for eight years. It was possible that the Ark and the Dove carried mail for the Barbadoes. The colonists stopped for three weeks, in that time repairing the vessels, securing negro slaves, and buying supplies, among which was seed corn for the Maryland settlement.)

b. The stop at Point Comfort.—Letters from Cecilius Calvert and the king were to be delivered with great respect, by the hands of a messenger who was conformable to the Church of England, to Sir John Harvie, the governor of the Virginias.

3. The landing on Blackiston’s Island, March 25, 1634. Why not a suitable place for a permanent settlement?

4. The visit to the Pascataway Indians. The sale of the Yaocomaco Village. The advantages of such an arrangement with native Indians.
