[140] "Memories of Yorktown," address by Lyon Gardiner Tyler, President of William and Mary College, Richmond Times, Nov. 25, 1894. The original letter of Captain Mathews and the declaration of Sir John Harvey concerning the "mutiny of 1635" are printed in the Virginia Magazine of History and Biography, i. 416-430. In my brief account I have tried to reconcile some apparent inconsistencies in the various statements with regard to time. Some accounts seem to extend over three or four days the events which more probably occurred on the 27th and 28th. The point is of no importance.
[141] The interval was from April 28, 1635, to January 18, 1637.

[143] In the famous picture of the baptism of Pocahontas, in the rotunda of the Capitol at Washington, Whitaker, as an Episcopal clergyman, is depicted as clothed in a surplice. A letter of Whitaker's, of June, 1614, tells us that no surplices were used in Virginia; see Purchas His Pilgrimes, iv. 1771. Surplices began to be used there about 1724 (see Hugh Jones, Present State of Virginia, 1724, p. 69), and did not come into general use till the nineteenth century (Latané, Early Relations, etc. p. 64).
