Newport was "told that the name of the river was Powhatan, the name of the chief Powhatan, and the name of the people Powhatans." But it seemed that the chief Powhatan was not at this village but at another and a larger place named Werowocomoco, on a second great river in the back country to the north and east of Jamestown.

Newport and his men were "well entreated" by the Indians.
"But yet," says Percy, "the Savages murmured at our planting in the Countrie." The party did not tarry up the river.

Back came their boat through the bright weather, between the verdurous banks, all green and flower-tinted save where might be seen the brown of Indian clearings with bark-covered huts and thin, up-curling blue smoke.

Before them once more rose Jamestown, palisaded now, and riding before it the three ships.

And here there barked an English dog, and here were Englishmen to welcome Englishmen.
