| Meer info | "...en des selfs Volk-plantinge aldaar begonnen, misgaders de ongelukkige Reyse van het Schip de Olijf-bloeysem, tot des selfs onderstand derwaards gesonden in het Jaar 1604". Leigh sailed from Woolwich on 21 March 1604 in the Olive Plant. They arrived on 11 May in the fresh water of the Amazon River. After some trading they left the Amazon; and on 22 May arrived in a river which Leigh calls the Wiapogo. The local indians, who were oppressed by the Carib people, were anxious that the English should settle there. Leigh went on an exploring expedition ninety miles up the river Aracawa, trading and making vain inquiries for gold. When he returned almost every one in the little colony was sick. Supplies sent out by Sir Oliph Leigh arrived in January; they found everybody ill. Leigh himself was very weak. He was ready to go home, but fell ill and died aboard his ship. |
