Florid" 0 Second Day, Wednesday, April 3, 1929 PART I — PROLOGUE ^3 'IUNG Rom Cadiz, Spain, on June 29, 1565, a'10ar(l the flagship San Pclayo, and with ___,view'll vessels, Don Pedro Mcnendez de ~7P I- x ji ■^v,*es arrlvc'fl at St. Augustine on August [Aj 28th of the same year, and this being the ’&■ itday devoted to St. Augustine, the Spanish '■ Explorer named the place in honor of him. On arriving, Mcnendez learned from the Indians of the presence of the French under the command of Captain Rene de Laudonnicrc, at Fort Caroline, sixty miles north, and that Captain Jean Ribaut, with several French vessels, was at the mouth of the St. Johns river. At daybreak Mcnendez set sail to attack the French vessels, but the latter sailed away on the approach of the Spaniards, and Mcnendez, after a fruitless pursuit, returned to a point near St. Augustine and disembarked his forces and stores on September 8th, founding the city of St. Augustine. Mencndcz’s expedition consisted of thirty-four vessels, with 2,600 persons, soldiers, priests and colonists. On disembarking near Selooe, the Indian village which is now on the site of St. Augustine, Mcnendez located his camp and commenced the work of establishing a colony. All the traces of a visit of Ponce de Leon a half century earlier had vanished when Mcnendez arrived at Selooe. He found the natives proud and warlike, their great Cacique Satouriara fearing neither his red enemies nor the paleface warriors from beyond the seas. PROGRAM 10:00 a. m.—Founding of the city by Mcnendez. The day’s program will open by the bring of an aerial bomb after which heralds, with a flourish of trumpets, will announce the beginning of the pageant. Spread out at the north side of Fort San Marco, the Indian village of Selooe is presented, being peaceful^ and natives idling about the tepees. A portion of the tribe is absent with the Great Incohonee on a hunting trip. Tile village Medicine Man is seen to walk out from the tepees to a fire, where he faces to the East and laiscs his arms towards the skies, after which lie seats himself and, gazing into the smouldering embers, tails into meditation. A chief comes out from one of the tepees and summons the warriors who arc in the village and dispatches the fishermen to the bay and the hunters to the woods to gather tribute for the table of Satouriara, the Great Incohonee of East Florida, for a runner has brought word that the great chief was returning home after a most successful hunt. . , . As thev near the shore the fishermen raise a shout ot welcome as the Great Incohonee and his warriors emerge from the woods along the north side of the arena, and niimediatc-Iv all of the Indians go forward to greet the chief, except the Medicine Man, who remains seated at Ins lire. After greeting his people, Satouriara orders the fishermen to go to the shore and continue their labors, while the returning warriors, surrounded by the women and children, move on toward the village. At this time the Great Incohonee espies the Medicine Man and his indifference to the triumphal return of the hunting party. Walking over to him the chief upbraids him for his failure to pay him tribute. The Medicine Man rises, raises his right hand and respectfully but coolly informs the Great Incohonee that strange events in the life and destiny of the Indian tribes arc soon to take place. The Great Incohonee, already irritated, sarcastically laughs at the prophecy and starts toward the village in disgust when one of his fishermen, who has returned in haste from the river, reports that strange vessels are anchored some miles down the bay. Satouriara goes himself to the bay to view the strange ships, then returns to the village and dispatches runners to the neighboring villages to the north with orders for the chiefs to report to him at once. The runners return in a few minutes, accompanied by Chief Tocobavo and Chief Tequesta. The Great Incohonee, with many gestures, tells of the strange winged vessels, and all go to view them. W hile the Indian chiefs are gazing down the bay, expecting the vessels to move up to the village, they arc ignorant of the fact that Spaniards have disembarked and are moving on their village from the land. They return to the village to plan for defense or an attack on the palefaces and have just taken their seats around the campfires when an Indian enters the arena from the west, staggering, falling, and crawling toward the Great Incohonee, who seeing that the brave has been mortally wounded, advances toward him. As the chief reaches the scout he is handed a Spanish helmet by the warrior who falls dead at his feet. Satouriara displays the helmet to the other chiefs, and while they are examining the strange headdress he orders the dead warrior carried into the village. The Great Incohonee, trained in warfare, realizes that the village may be in danger from a strange foe. He dispatches messengers to his allies to rally and calls a council-of-war. Scouts sent out soon return with reports of the advance of a large force of palefaces upon Seloee. The Great Incohonee resorts to strategy and as the Spanish foot soldiers come into view orders his braves to fall back upon the village. He then sends a runner out with his hands held high to the Spanish commander, who. througn an interpreter, learns that the Great Incohonee of East Florida desires a council with him, to which he agrees. Having formed his troops so as to prevent a surprise attack, the Spanish officer advances to the center of the held where he meets Chief Satuoriara. The wily Indian upon hearing of the Great White Chief, Don Pedro Mcnendez, who landed upon his domain, gets the Spanish commander to dispatch a courier requesting that Mcnendez come into the village. 27
