On the eleventh of that month they came, storm-beaten and without Governor or Admiral or Sea Adventure, into "our Bay" and at last to "the King's River and Town." Here there swarmed from these ships nigh three hundred persons, meeting and met by the hundred dwelling at Jamestown.

This was the third supply, but it lacked the hundred or so upon the Sea Adventure and the pinnace, and it lacked a head.

"Being put ashore without their Governor or any order from him (all the Commissioners and principal persons being aboard him) no man would acknowledge a superior." With this multitude appeared once more in Virginia the three ancient councilors--Ratcliffe, Archer, and Martin.

Apparently here came fresh fuel for factions.

Who should rule, and who should be ruled?
Here is an extremely old and important question, settled in history only to be unsettled again.
