4 SMITHSONIAN MISCELLANEOUS COLLECTIONS VOL. 8l 



" For mine own part I purposed, with my men. to pass by land ; and, 

 after I had taken leave of my mariners, I departed from Szvaiisca, 

 and came, that night, with my company, to a place called Morgan, 

 where the lord of the place, understanding what I was, staid me with 

 him for the space of six or seven days ; and, at my departure, moved 

 with pity to see me go on foot, especially being so weak as I was, gave 

 me a little hackney. 



" Thus I passed on my journey — first to Bristol, and then to 

 London, where I went to do my duty to M. de Foix, which, for the 

 present, was the King's ambassador, and helped me with money in m}' 

 necessity. From thence I passed to Calais, afterward to Paris, where 

 I was informed that the king was gone to Monlins, to sojourn there ; 

 incontinently, and with all the haste I could possibly make, I got me 

 thither, with part of my company." 



Lemoyne was probably one of the company, and it may have been 

 at this time that he revealed to the king the work he had done in 

 Florida. 



How long Lemoyne continued to live in France is not known but 

 later he crossed the channel and resided in London. He was a Hugue- 

 not and for that reason may have sought safety in flight. During 1587 

 Lemoyne was in London, in the service of Sir Walter Raleigh, when 

 he was visited by De Bry in the endeavor to purchase his papers relat- 

 ing to the expedition to Florida, but as has been written : " Lemoyne 

 resisted all persuasions to part with his papers. After Lemoyne's 

 death De Bry bought them of his widow (1588), and published them 

 in 1591." 



What became of Lemoyne's drawings is not known. Possibly those 

 secured by De Bry were taken to Frankfort and there copied by the 

 engravers, later to be lost or scattered. No example of the artist's 

 work is in the British Museum, London; the Louvre, Paris; or the 

 Galleria degli Uffizi, Florence. 



It may be suggested that Lemoyne's connection with Sir Walter 

 Raleigh influenced the latter in sending the English artist John White 

 to Virginia, in 1585. White's instructions were quite similar to those 

 received by Lemoyne some twenty years before. Their work was of 

 the same nature.
