The marquis's scheme was warmly supported by the Legitimist papers. No less than 200,000 hectares of land were sold, although the island contains only 7,000. Money was also lavishly subscribed for fitting out ships to convey emi grants, and this money, exclusive of that re ceived from the sale of land, is said to have amounted to 5, 000,'odo francs.

The co- tanists sent out by the marquis suffered terribly from lack of food on the passage, and those who finally reached Pont Breton found that it was a wilderness infested with bloodthirsty savages. In a short time 250 colonists died of fever and starvation, s were captured and eaten by the na tives, and only about too escaped to reach an in- habited country,
