Old St Augustine; a story of three centuries . he illustrious Cavalier, DonPedro Menendez dAvil^s, Adelantado of the Provinces ofFlorida, Knight Commander of Santa Cruz, of the Orderof Santiago, and Captain-General of the Oceanic Seas,died in the year 1574, honored by Pope and sovereignand in the full flush of his fame. Eight years later, in1582, to the great griefe of such as knew him, diedthe Chevalier Dominique De Gourgues. The Para-coussy Satourioua, too, has gone the way of his race;and after the custom of their tribe, his subjects haveplanted about his grave the circle of arrows, placing inthe center his cassine cup, chiefest memorial of wisdomand valor; and with wailing and tearing of hair haveobserved the appointed thirty days of mourning. So one by one the personages, whose deeds have beenrecorded in the first chapters of our story, have passedaway. Spanish bigot, Huguenot victim, French avenger,savage ally—each has played his part, and gone to hisreward. New actors take their places. In 1586 came the English ENGLISH SEA-KINGS.
