The French Arrive in Florida
	On their first voyage to Florida the French touched at a flat, 
heavily wooded headland which their commander named Cape 
Francois [Promontorium Gallicum] in honor of France.  The cape lies 
about thirty degrees from the equator.
	From there the French sailed northwards along the low, level 
coast and came to the mouth of a broad and beautiful river, where 
they cast anchor, since they desired to explore the stream more 
carefully the next day.  (When Laudonniere came upon it on his 
second voyage, he called it the River of Dolphins,* because of the 
many dolphins swimming in it.)
	The French landed on the shore of this river and were met by a 
number of Indians, who received them with kindness and in the 
friendliest spirit.  The natives were anxious to prove with deeds how 
well they meant; some of them gave their own garments, made of 
skins, to the French commander, and they offered to take him to 
their chief.
	When they came before him, the chief was sitting upon boughs 
of palm and laurel and did not rise; but he presented our commander 
with a large skin decorated with pictures of wild animals.
	*This is a mistake of Le Moyne.  Laudonniere landed, not at the 
River of Dolphins, but at the River of May (the St. John's).
