he ' was careful to advertise Sir Walter Raleigh from tyme to tyme and
send him discourses both in print and in written hand concerning his
voyage.' Rene Goulaine de Laudonnière's Journal had fallen into
Hakluyt's hand, and he induced his friend Basanier the mathematician to
edit and publish it. This was done and the work was dedicated to Raleigh
and probably paid for by him. Le Moyne the painter and mathematician who
had accompanied the expedition, one of the few who escaped into the
woods and swamps with Laudonnière the dreadful morning of the massacre,
was named by Basanier. He also mentions a lad named De Bry who was lucky
enough to find his way out of the clutches of the Spanish butchers into
the hands of the more merciful American Savages. This young man was found
by De Gourgues nearly three years later among the Indians that joined
him in his mission of retribution against the Spaniards, and was
restored to his friends well instructed in the ways, manners and customs
of the Florida Aborigines.

This journal of Laudonnière carefully edited by Basanier was completed
in time to be published in Paris in 1586, in French, in octavo. It was
dedicated to Sir Walter Raleigh. Hakluyt translated it into English, and
printed it in small quarto in London the next year and it reappeared
again in his folio voyages of 1589. The French edition fell under the
eye of Theodore De Bry the afterwards celebrated engraver of Frankfort,
formerly of Liege. Whether or not this engraver was a relative of young
De Bry of Florida is not known, but we are told that he soon sought out
Le Moyne whom he found in Raleigh's service living in the Blackfriars in
London, acting as painter, engraver on wood, a teacher and art publisher
or bookseller.

De Bry first came to London in 1587 to see Le Moyne and arrange with him
about illustrating Laudonnière's Journal with the artist's maps and
