Portrait of Admiral Sir George Somers, the " Father of Bermuda," to whom 

 the original settlement, in 1611, was mainly due. He died in Bermuda, Nov. 

 9th, 1610, aged 56. His heart was buried, by his request, at St. George's, where 

 a suitable tablet marks the spot. His body was taken to England for burial, 

 at Whit-church, Dorsetshire. See pages 537-545. He was evidently a man of 

 great ability, courage, and fortitude. According to Fuller, Worthies, 1622, he was 

 " a lamb on the land ; so patient that few could auger him," but " a lion at sea, 

 so passionate that few could please him." He was born at or near Lyme Regis, 

 1554 ; knighted in 1604. The engraving is copied from a copper-plate of an 

 authentic unpublished portrait that has remained continuously with his descend- 

 ants, and of which a copy, made by Lieut. -Col. B. A. Branfil, was secured by 

 Governor Lefroy. See pp. 541, 873.

Portrait of Capt. John Smith, Historian of Virginia, New England, and the 

 Summer Isles, 1624-1632. See Bibliography, p. 854. 



He was one of the original settlers of Virginia in 1607, and was chosen presi- 

 dent of the Jamestown, Va., colony in 1608-9. There is no evidence that he 

 ever visited Bermuda. (See pp. 552, 554.) The engraving is from an ancient 

 copper-plate, representing him at the age of 37 years, in 1616. He was born in 

 Lincolnshire, Eng., Jan., 1579; died in London. June, 1632. 



For the fate of Pocahontas and her three maiden companions, see p. 514, note. 



Plate CIV. 



Portrait of the late General Sir John Henry Lefroy, Governor of Bermuda 

 from 1871 to 1877. A worthy contributor to the History and Botany of Ber- 

 muda. From a photograph presented to J. M. Jones in 1877. See p. 853, note. 



Governor Lefroy was the compiler and editor of the " Memorials of the 

 Bermudas," in 2 volumes, 1877-9, and of the " Historye of the Bermudaes or 

 Summer Islands," by Governor Nathaniel Butler, 1882. These two works con- 

 tain most that is known of the history of the Bermudas during the 17th century. 

 He was also author of an important work on the Botany of Bermuda, Washing- 

 ton, D. C, 1884, and many other works. See Bibliography, pp. 851-859.
