the first church also destroyed a large portion of the town and surrounding palisades. There seems to have been another destructive fire there afterwards, for Smith, speaking of the arrival of Governor Argall, in 1617, says: In Jamestown he found but five or six houses, the church down, the palisades broken, the bridge [across the marsh] in pieces, the well of fresh water spoiled, and the storehouse used Arrival of the young women at Jamestown. for a church. In the same year Smith's General Historie recalls a statement by John Rolfe: About the last of August came a Dutch man-of-war and sold us 20 Negars. A more desirable accession came in 1621 through the shipment by the company of respectable young women for wives of those colonists who would pay the cost of transportation —at first 120 lbs. of tobacco, afterwards 150 lbs.

First, he used his own works, and when they were exhausted he reproduced, or culled from, any relation he had at hand. The whole bore the title The Generall Historie of Virginia, New-England, and the summer Isles. Relatively an unimportant part of it is written by Smith, but he does not pretend to have written the parts he did not write. Three other books completed his literary career. One was called An Accidence or the path-way to experience, a tract which appeared in 1626 and was reissued several times, not always with the same title. It contained a description of the most observable features of a ship of war, and was designed for young seamen. I
