A history of the United States of America; its people and its institutions . the interference of Indian women. Smiths Activity and Energy.—Smith was certainly an active and energetic man and the soul of the colony. He • had been appointed by the king one of its gov-erning council, and soonbecame president of thecouncil and the actinggovernor of the colony.As an explorer he kepthimself busy, sailing upChesapeake Bay, enter-ing its inlets and rivers, obtaining food from theIndians by coaxing orthreatening, and in otherways making himselfuseful. Fools Gold. — Hehad enough to do tokeep the colonists fromruining themselves.One of them found a yellow substance which he thoughtwas gold. At once, in spite of Smiths protests, they aban-doned everything else and set to work digging this worthlessstuff and loading a vessel with it. On reaching Englandthe cargo proved to be what is known as iron pyrites, ayellow mineral which has been well named fools gold. •Laziness and Profanity Overcome.-—But to make thepeople work was no easy task. Smith tried a radical plan, . Smith Meeting the Indians. THE COLONY IN VIRGINIA. 65 those who would not work being given nothing to eat.Swearing seems to have been an epidemic in the colony, but he broke that up by having a can of cold water poureddown the sleeve of each swearer for every oath. He hadwon the friendship of Powhatan, and the troubles with theIndians ceased. They came to look on Captain Smith as asuperior being, and when rain was wanted used to beg himto pray for it. Smith Returns.—Under his directions some more com-fortable houses were built and a number of fields werecleared and planted with corn. All would perhaps havegone well now but for a serious accident to the redoubt-able captain. In 1609 he was badly injured by the explo-sion of a bag of gunpowder and obliged to return to England.He never came back to Virginia. The Starving Time.—The departure of Captain Smithwas like the removal of a safety-valve from an engine.
