Speaker 1: You're listening to Unexplained, Season four, episode thirteen, Lost in
Speaker 1: Stormy Visions, Part three. The rigging tapped lazily against the
Speaker 1: ship's masts as the vessel rocked gently back and forth
Speaker 1: while strewn all across the top deck. The bodies of
Speaker 1: its crew lay stretched out and unmoving under the gray,
Speaker 1: formless clouds above. Down below and exhausted. John White, the
Speaker 1: contours of his bones clearly visible through his clothes, stirred
Speaker 1: in his bunk, his desiccated tongue probing feebly at his
Speaker 1: cracked and bleeding lips as he drifted in and out
Speaker 1: of consciousness. Only six weeks before, Governor White had clambered
Speaker 1: aboard Edward Spicer's flyboat, hoping for a swift journey to
Speaker 1: England before heading back to Roanoke Island, but the omens
Speaker 1: had not been good. Within minutes of boarding, the vessel,
Speaker 1: twelve or the fifteen strong crew were badly injured due
Speaker 1: to a malfunctioning anchor mechanism that snapped back on them
Speaker 1: as they tried to bring it up. Eventually, they were
Speaker 1: forced to cut the anchor loose entirely, with only half
Speaker 1: the crew able to function properly, the ship had just
Speaker 1: made it past the azors when the wind completely ceased
Speaker 1: to blow. For days, they drifted until finally storm clouds
Speaker 1: began to amass on the horizon. Unfortunately, the ensuing gale
Speaker 1: only succeeded in beating them back to where they had
Speaker 1: just come from. It would be almost a week before
Speaker 1: they were able to continue on their way, only for
Speaker 1: the wind to once again desert them. With the ship becalmed,
Speaker 1: two men dropped dead, as the rest subsisted on dregs
Speaker 1: of beer and wine leaves until finally they too were exhausted.
Speaker 1: After weeks adrift on the ocean, with the men barely
Speaker 1: strong enough to lift their heads, a gray smudge was
Speaker 1: spied on the horizon, with no one daring to believe
Speaker 1: that it could be land. It wasn't until days later,
Speaker 1: when the smudge had shifted into something of genuine form,
Speaker 1: that they realized they were saved. Having no idea where
Speaker 1: they were, it was with some relief when the sailors
Speaker 1: caught wind of Irish accents coming from the shore. After
Speaker 1: drifting for the best part of a month, the men
Speaker 1: finally made landfall on October sixteenth, within four days of
Speaker 1: arriving another three crew members would die and three others
Speaker 1: be taken perilously ill. Three weeks later, Governor John White
Speaker 1: returned to London. At Sir Walter Raleigh's home, Raleigh listened
Speaker 1: with barely concealed contempt as White did his best to
Speaker 1: explain the colony's predicament. For a man so used to
Speaker 1: getting his own way, it was simply impossible to fathom
Speaker 1: how on earth White had allowed Simon Fernandez to abandon
Speaker 1: the colonists on Roanoke Island. To make matters worse, a
Speaker 1: supply ship with everything the settlers would be needing to
Speaker 1: survive the winter, was already on route to Chesapeake Bay.
Speaker 1: The ship duly arrived at the bay, only to find
Speaker 1: nobody there, and promptly returned to England. And worse was
Speaker 1: to come. While White had been away, tensions between the
Speaker 1: English and Spanish crowns had been steadily increasing. Now on
Speaker 1: the brink of war, Queen Elizabeth had issued a ba
Speaker 1: and on any ships traveling without her permission, lest they
Speaker 1: be needed to mount an attack on her enemy. White
Speaker 1: was devastated. It had been three months since he'd left America,
Speaker 1: and even if Raleigh could get permission to send a
Speaker 1: second supply ship, it would be at least another two
Speaker 1: months before it could get to Roanoke. Being equally dismayed
Speaker 1: at the situation, Raleigh nonetheless agreed to seek permission from
Speaker 1: the Queen to send a second supply ship to the
Speaker 1: stranded settlers. A week before it was due to set sail. However,
Speaker 1: the weather deteriorated so severely that it wasn't until spring
Speaker 1: the following year that its crew were confident enough they
Speaker 1: could make the trip. Then, just as White was finally
Speaker 1: about to set sail, the Queen received word that an
Speaker 1: armada of well over a hundred ships had set sail
Speaker 1: from Spain, planning to mount an invasion of England. White's
Speaker 1: vessels would duly fuscated, and the fleet's captain, Richard Grenville,
Speaker 1: ordered to report to Francis Drake, who was overseeing the
Speaker 1: naval defense of the country. Pleading with Raleigh once again,
Speaker 1: White eventually succeeded in securing two pinnaces to make the
Speaker 1: journey instead, small vessels that were ordinarily used to take
Speaker 1: passengers of a larger vessel to the shore. Though undoubtedly
Speaker 1: a risk, White had little option but to make do
Speaker 1: with what he had. After procuring a crew. Finally, he
Speaker 1: was on his way back to America. Barely a week
Speaker 1: into the journey to White's dismay, two galleons were spotted
Speaker 1: on the horizon. As they drew closer, the crew discovered
Speaker 1: with alarm that the ships were from Spain. In the end,
Speaker 1: it could have been worse. After only taking their supplies,
Speaker 1: the admirals of the Spanish vessels allowed John White and
Speaker 1: his crew to return to England. On July nineteenth, the
Speaker 1: King of Spain's fleet was spotted off the southwest coast
Speaker 1: of England. In response, a series of beacons were lit
Speaker 1: in quick succession, delivering a message by fire all the
Speaker 1: way to London that the country was under attack. The
Speaker 1: war had begun, and with it any hope that Governor
Speaker 1: White had of returning to Roanoke Island had vanished. By August,
Speaker 1: the King of Spain's armada was defeated. However, Walter Raleigh,
Speaker 1: who had spent the best part of the summer overseeing
Speaker 1: the English crowns colonization of Ireland, would not return to
Speaker 1: England until March fifteen eighty nine. It was sometime in
Speaker 1: March the following year that White, who incredibly had refused
Speaker 1: to give up. Hope got wind of a local merchants
Speaker 1: and to send three trade ships to the West Indies,
Speaker 1: the only problem being that, with the country still at war,
Speaker 1: the Queen was refusing to give them permission to sail.
Speaker 1: Realizing also that this could be their last chance, Raleigh
Speaker 1: convinced the Queen to let them travel on the proviso
Speaker 1: that they take John White to Roanoke Island, and so
Speaker 1: it was that on March twentieth, fifteen ninety, two years
Speaker 1: and seven months since he had last seen his daughter
Speaker 1: Eleanor and granddaughter Virginia, White stepped aboard the Hopewell for
Speaker 1: one final attempt to get back to them. The catch
Speaker 1: being that each captain in the fleet had every intention
Speaker 1: of making the most of their journey before heading to America,
Speaker 1: White would have little choice but to dig in and
Speaker 1: pray that he would make it out alive. Over the
Speaker 1: next few months, the fleet attacked and raided two Spanish flyboats,
Speaker 1: before later being shot at by Spanish defenses when drawing
Speaker 1: too close to the island of Saint John. Alighting at
Speaker 1: another island soon after, the crew of White's boat burned
Speaker 1: a Spanish settlement to the ground. Two men were abducted
Speaker 1: from the island of Dominica to be kept as slaves
Speaker 1: on the hopewell, but later managed to escape shortly before
Speaker 1: the ship was attacked by a Spanish galleon, resulting in
Speaker 1: a four hour gun battle against four hundred sailors. And
Speaker 1: that was only the half of it. After numerous other
Speaker 1: skirmishes and raids on vessels from France and Spain, including
Speaker 1: chasing three ships heavily laden with treasure around almost the
Speaker 1: entirety of Cuba, the admiral of the fleet, Captain Cook,
Speaker 1: finally called it a day in August, having now been
Speaker 1: joined by John White's old friend Edward Spicer captaining the moonlight,
Speaker 1: the fleet was ready to make its way to Roanoke,
Speaker 1: and soon they were approaching the southern edge of the
Speaker 1: Outer Bank, passing first the shores of croato And Island
Speaker 1: to the west, and then eventually, as a bright full
Speaker 1: moon the color of bone rose steadily into the sky.
Speaker 1: On August fifteenth, the fleet arrived off the coast of
Speaker 1: Hatterask Island, nestled just a mile beyond. It was Roanoke
Speaker 1: that evening White watched with a combination of joy and
Speaker 1: utter disbelief. As the telltale sign of campfire smoke rose
Speaker 1: up from within the island, he couldn't believe it. Could
Speaker 1: it be? He thought that the colonists had survived all
Speaker 1: this time, having arrived later than hoped. White would have
Speaker 1: to wait till first light before any attempt was made
Speaker 1: to find out. That night, as he lay awake in
Speaker 1: his bunk, trying to imagine how his granddaughter might look,
Speaker 1: whether even he might have a second grandchild by now,
Speaker 1: those that had been chosen to escort him to the
Speaker 1: island were restless too. There was just no way they
Speaker 1: could still be there, they thought. And if it wasn't
Speaker 1: the colonists who made the fire, just what else exactly
Speaker 1: might they find out there. The following morning, two boats
Speaker 1: loaded with men headed out toward the Pamlico Sound. White
Speaker 1: traveled in Captain Cook's vessel, while Captain Spicer took lead
Speaker 1: of the other. First, they would need to carefully navigate
Speaker 1: their way through the outer Bank, a slow and treacherous
Speaker 1: journey owing to the unpredictable nature of the various sandbars
Speaker 1: and channels hidden below the waves. It was precisely for
Speaker 1: that reason that Raleigh had suggested settling on Roanoke in
Speaker 1: the first place, since not only was it hidden from
Speaker 1: the Atlantic side, but no warship could possibly get near it.
Speaker 1: For White, it was utter torture watching as the pilots
Speaker 1: cautiously negotiated their way, checking and rechecking the depths around
Speaker 1: them every few minutes, until finally they were through. At
Speaker 1: that moment, two loud cannon blasts could be heard from behind,
Speaker 1: a prearranged signal from the hopewell to announce their arrival
Speaker 1: to the colonists. White and the rest fixed their eyes
Speaker 1: on the island for any sign of movement near the shore,
Speaker 1: but nobody came. The smoke from the night before had
Speaker 1: also gone. Then a cry went up as one sailor
Speaker 1: spotted another trail of smoke, this time rising from Kindraiker's Mount,
Speaker 1: a large sand dune located roughly halfway down the outer
Speaker 1: bank between Roanoke and crow Atoan. It made sense, thought White,
Speaker 1: since it had been discussed that the colony would move
Speaker 1: that way should things become complicated. Having yet to see
Speaker 1: more signs of life on Roanoke, White suggested to Cook
Speaker 1: that they turned the boat and head to Kindraker's Mount
Speaker 1: to see what they could find a few hours later,
Speaker 1: having moored up just off the beach, the men jumped
Speaker 1: into the water and headed cautiously toward where the smoke
Speaker 1: was coming from, picking their way through a thick mesh
Speaker 1: of trees and scrub on constant alert, they arrived at
Speaker 1: the fire, or rather what was left of it. Somebody
Speaker 1: had been there, but they had long since moved on.
Speaker 1: With the two crews tired and exhausted, it was decided
Speaker 1: to head back to their respective ships for the evening
Speaker 1: before trying again for Roanoke Island. It was sometime around
Speaker 1: ten when they reached the opening and the outer bank
Speaker 1: to take them back through to the Atlantic. Cook's vessel
Speaker 1: went first, but quickly got into difficult when a furious
Speaker 1: gale swept across the water, taking the wheel. Cook wrestled
Speaker 1: tirelessly with the boat as a series of ever growing
Speaker 1: waves pummeled it from both sides. With the rest of
Speaker 1: the crew furiously baling out water, Cook managed finally to
Speaker 1: get through. It was only when they were back on
Speaker 1: board the Hopewell that they noticed Spicer's boat being tossed
Speaker 1: violently about on the turbulent waters. Cook's men could only
Speaker 1: watch horrified and helpless. A Spicer's boat was pitched onto
Speaker 1: its side in one swift movement, then, with a second
Speaker 1: wave colliding into its side, it was completely tipped over.
Speaker 1: Cook's crew watched on as some leaped from the vessel
Speaker 1: into the sea, while others clung on for dear life
Speaker 1: until they too were finally overwhelmed and disappeared into the gray.
Speaker 1: Some tried to swim to the nearest shore, only to
Speaker 1: be beaten mercilessly back into the open water. Having seen enough,
Speaker 1: Captain Cook and four others jumped back into their boat
Speaker 1: and raced out to save their comrades. Seven men in total,
Speaker 1: including Captain Spicer, were drowned. Back on board the ships
Speaker 1: that night, the mood was understandably somber, and some began
Speaker 1: to question the purpose of their trip, that it had
Speaker 1: been doomed from the start. The next morning, White was
Speaker 1: woken by a commotion on deck. See for yourself, said
Speaker 1: Captain Cook, pointing toward Roanoke smoke, this time coming from
Speaker 1: the northern edge of the island, close to where the
Speaker 1: colonists fought Raleigh had been established. That evening, Captain Cook
Speaker 1: brought his boat to the shores of roanoke. Stumbling from
Speaker 1: the vessel, Governor White sprinted up the beach, urging the
Speaker 1: rest of the men to follow, but the men stayed,
Speaker 1: still concerned that something wasn't quite right. Cook agreed. Pointing
Speaker 1: into the trees, White looked again at the warm orange
Speaker 1: glow emanating from somewhere in the forest beyond that was
Speaker 1: no camp fire. Not wanting to lose any more of
Speaker 1: his crew, Cook suggested they make camp for the night
Speaker 1: and continued their journey in the morning. Just then, one
Speaker 1: of the crew stepped forward and, putting a trumpet to
Speaker 1: his lips, blew a series of signals into the trees,
Speaker 1: each being answered by nothing save for the sound of
Speaker 1: the waves sloshing against the sand. The men found the
Speaker 1: fire still burning the following day, its limp flames licking
Speaker 1: at blackened tree trunks, while all about the ground the
Speaker 1: grass too was on fire. It was as if their
Speaker 1: journey had merely been taking them through one door after
Speaker 1: another of hell, and only now were they getting to
Speaker 1: the heart of it. Returning to the beach, the men
Speaker 1: trekked to the island's northern edge until they spotted fresh
Speaker 1: footprints in the sand, heading into the trees. Through there,
Speaker 1: said White, pointing to a pathway that would lead them
Speaker 1: straight to the fort. But just as he was about
Speaker 1: to step forward, he felt a sudden, profound weight fall
Speaker 1: upon him. For three years he had pined for this moment,
Speaker 1: hoping every day to be reunited with his daughter, But
Speaker 1: only now that he was here did he consider the worst.
Speaker 1: It was abundantly clear that either his people had left
Speaker 1: or they were dead. Perhaps he didn't want to see
Speaker 1: what might be waiting for him at the settlement. Looking up,
Speaker 1: he was suddenly distracted by something on one of the trees.
Speaker 1: Do you see that, he asked Cook. Stepping forward, he
Speaker 1: held out his hands and brushed them against the trunk
Speaker 1: along the edges of what were clearly three letters carved
Speaker 1: into its bark, c R and oh crow, a tone
Speaker 1: he whispered under his breath, before rushing headlong into the forest.

Speaker 1: often take care of others and not yourself? Now it's

Speaker 1: White finally arrived at the fort, it was some relief
Speaker 1: to find it completely deserted, with no sign of the
Speaker 1: settlers nor their remains. The place had changed significantly since
Speaker 1: White had last been there, with all the houses having
Speaker 1: been destroyed or removed entirely, and all about it a
Speaker 1: heavily fortified palisade section made from large tree trunks had
Speaker 1: been installed, as if the settlers had been preparing for
Speaker 1: a raid. Then he saw it the word crow aten
Speaker 1: in full, this time clearly carved five feet up from
Speaker 1: the floor into the bark of a large wooden post.
Speaker 1: White looked frantically for any sign of a cross carved
Speaker 1: above it, a sign that the colonists had been forcefully
Speaker 1: run out, but he found none. White sunk to his
Speaker 1: knees with relief, as he explained to Captain Cook soon after.
Speaker 1: This was the prearranged signal between him and the colonists,
Speaker 1: a message to tell him where they'd gone, should they
Speaker 1: ever have to leave. As the men investigated the rest
Speaker 1: of the ruined fort, they found a number of heavy
Speaker 1: materials stacked up in a pile that had presumably been
Speaker 1: thought unnecessary to take with them. A series of large
Speaker 1: wooden chests were found too, dug out at the ground,
Speaker 1: with their contents long since destroyed by the weather, scattered
Speaker 1: all over the floor. White bent down to peel a
Speaker 1: piece of paper from the ground. On it was the
Speaker 1: illustration of a secotan that he had painted years before.
Speaker 1: It was all his stuff. The colonists had buried it
Speaker 1: in case he should ever return. Just then, thick dark
Speaker 1: cloud began to swirl above, as large drops of water
Speaker 1: cascaded down upon them. It was time to head back
Speaker 1: to the ship. By the following morning, a full on
Speaker 1: storm was raging. Kirk ordered the crew to set sail
Speaker 1: for crowatoe In Island, but no sooner had they weighed
Speaker 1: anchor than the cable snapped, sending the ship on a
Speaker 1: perilous collision course with the shore. Then, by sheer luck,
Speaker 1: the ship was suddenly pushed into a deep channel and
Speaker 1: maneuvered away from the outer bank back into the Atlantic,
Speaker 1: leaving Cook deeply shaken, running dangerously low on food and
Speaker 1: fresh water, and with only one anchor left to moor
Speaker 1: the vessel. Cook realized any attempt to reach Crowetoin would
Speaker 1: be a suicide mission. Despite White's desperate please, Kok's mind
Speaker 1: was made up. They would sail to the Caribbean to refuel,
Speaker 1: then come back for the colonists. Those on the Moonlight,
Speaker 1: devastated by the loss of seven of their crew, decided
Speaker 1: instead to head straight back to England. Weeks later, the
Speaker 1: storm winds had forced the Hopewell not to the Caribbean
Speaker 1: as planned, but all the way to the Azores, and
Speaker 1: when the winds failed to change, Kok, putting the safety
Speaker 1: of his vessel and crew, first made the drastic decision
Speaker 1: they would not be going back to America. On October
Speaker 1: twenty fourth, fifteen ninety John White was returned to England.
Speaker 1: He would never again travel to the New World, and
Speaker 1: the fate of his colony was destined to remain a mystery.
Speaker 1: Little is known of just what became of John White,
Speaker 1: the former governor of the second English colony of Roanoke Island.
Speaker 1: Having given up on ever finding his daughter and granddaughter
Speaker 1: or any of the other one hundred and sixteen missing colonists,
Speaker 1: including a second baby that was borne out there as well,
Speaker 1: he is thought to have retired to Ireland, where he
Speaker 1: eventually died. In fifteen ninety four, All colonists were officially
Speaker 1: declared dead by English law, based on the fact that
Speaker 1: the last known contact with them had been more than
Speaker 1: seven years previously, though he was never registered as such.
Speaker 1: Manteo was also assumed to have died. The ruling was
Speaker 1: of particular shock to Raleigh, as this also marked the
Speaker 1: end of his contract with Queen Elizabeth, entitling him to
Speaker 1: any riches found in the New World. Without the colony,
Speaker 1: the contract was void. As for Simon Fernandez, who so
Speaker 1: brazenly abandoned the colonists on Roanoke Island. It has never
Speaker 1: been ascertained precisely what motivated him to do so. Some
Speaker 1: have speculated, however, that he may have been deliberately trying
Speaker 1: to sabotage the mission, as John White had suspected all along.
Speaker 1: In her book Roanoke Solving the Mystery of the Lost Colony,
Speaker 1: writer LEEH. Miller speculated that Queen Elizabeth's head spy, Sir
Speaker 1: Francis Walsingham, had enlisted Fernandez to undermine Raleigh's attempt to
Speaker 1: establish the colony in America. Walsingham had become embittered over
Speaker 1: Raleigh's rapid rise in the court of Queen Elizabeth Simon.
Speaker 1: Fernandez is thought to have died at sea sometime in
Speaker 1: fifteen ninety Raleigh tried a number of times to locate
Speaker 1: the Lost Colony in order to validate his contract with Elizabeth,
Speaker 1: sending ships in fifteen ninety nine and again in sixteen
Speaker 1: o two, but neither made it as far as Roanoke
Speaker 1: or Crowetoan before being forced to return to England. The
Speaker 1: sixteen o two expedition did return with some intriguing news, however,
Speaker 1: Rumors amongst the local communities of America that some of
Speaker 1: the lost colony were in fact alive and well and
Speaker 1: living with one of the East Coast communities, but by
Speaker 1: then Raleigh was facing an uncertain future. In sixteen o three,
Speaker 1: Queen Elizabeth died, and with the subsequent ascension of James
Speaker 1: the First to the throne, Raleigh was stripped of all
Speaker 1: his rights and claims to the New World. Far worse,
Speaker 1: in July of that year, he was arrested and accused
Speaker 1: of plotting against the king. Though at first spared death
Speaker 1: due to his services to the crown, he would spend
Speaker 1: the next thirteen years locked in the Tower of London.
Speaker 1: After being pardoned, Raleigh traveled to Venezuela in search of
Speaker 1: El Dorado, the mythical city of Gold, having been given
Speaker 1: permission by the king to do so on the one
Speaker 1: condition that he avoided any hostility with ships from Spain.
Speaker 1: When it was discovered that some of his men, against
Speaker 1: Raleigh's orders, had violated this condition, he was arrested on
Speaker 1: his return to England and this time sentenced to death.
Speaker 1: He was beheaded in October sixteen eighteen. In the years
Speaker 1: since the disappearance of the colony at Roanoke, rumors continued
Speaker 1: to abound about just what had become of them. When
Speaker 1: the first formal English colony in America was settled at
Speaker 1: Jamestown in sixteen o seven, some of the settlers learned
Speaker 1: from people local to the area that the Roanoke colony
Speaker 1: had in fact been slaughtered by Chief winjun As people
Speaker 1: in revenge for his murder. It is often said that
Speaker 1: what is commonly known today as the United States has
Speaker 1: its origins in the hugely controversial settlement of Jamestown. Although
Speaker 1: most of the English at the time talked with relish
Speaker 1: about the savages they had to endure and fight off
Speaker 1: while trying to establish the town, in truth, its success
Speaker 1: owed much to the generosity of the local power town people, who,
Speaker 1: when the colony was on the verge of dying out,
Speaker 1: gifted the settlers their food to help them survive in return.
Speaker 1: Thanks to the blank canvas that America represented to Europeans,
Speaker 1: who saw in it the opportunity to create new worlds,
Speaker 1: foster new ideas, and get monetarily rich, the world and
Speaker 1: ways of those already native to it was broadly dismissed
Speaker 1: until it had been all but extinguished. The plan of
Speaker 1: those who settled at Jamestown was to establish another England
Speaker 1: in a distant land. In the end, however, the colony
Speaker 1: of Jamestown and the people who eventually settled there would
Speaker 1: become only one of a vast array of different people
Speaker 1: and ideas that together would evolve into the nation that
Speaker 1: America is today, a place that was not born from
Speaker 1: one idea or one way of life, but from multitudes.
Speaker 1: As for the fate of those early settlers at Roanoke,
Speaker 1: it is said that in seventeen oh one, while conducting
Speaker 1: a survey of the Mid East coast, engineer John Lawson
Speaker 1: found himself anchored off the shore of Crowetoa, An Island.
Speaker 1: Having made his way to land, he was soon after
Speaker 1: greeted by what he assumed to be a local community
Speaker 1: of Native Americans. Only they weren't like any he had
Speaker 1: ever come across before. Their skin was a little paler,
Speaker 1: their hair less dark, and their eyes unusually gray in color.
Speaker 1: These people claimed, apparently that some of their ancestors, more
Speaker 1: pale skinned than them, had arrived a hundred years before
Speaker 1: from a country very far away. If you enjoy listening
