red Fort Nelson. Two years later captured Pemaquid; and, sailing to
Newfoundland, captured St. John's and raided the villages along the
coast. In 1697 again sailed to Hudson Bay, defeated a superior fleet,
and recaptured Fort Nelson. The following year sailed from Brest in
command of an expedition to discover the mouth of the Mississippi and
plant a colony there, in both of which he was successful. The remaining
years of his life spent in building up the colony of Louisiana. =Index=:
