Pioneers of the Old South

CHAPTER IV
25/28

All the land turned crimson and gold.

At Jamestown building went forward, together with the gathering of ripened crops, the felling of trees, fishing and fowling, and trading for Indian corn and turkeys.
One day George Percy, heading a trading party down the river, saw coming toward him a white sailed ship, the Mary and Margaret-it was Christopher Newport again, with the second supply.

Seventy colonists came over on the Mary and Margaret, among them a fair number of men of note.

This is indeed an important ship.
