It was a brave fight that they made; and Henry Greene's last recorded word, "Coragio!" was worthy of the lips of a better man. But he and the others eminently deserved the death that the savages gave them, and it is good to know that Hudson's murder so soon was avenged. Juet's equally exemplary punishment, equally deserved, came a little later.
Juet's log continues and concludes passing over unmentioned the mutiny that occurred before the ship's course definitely was set eastward in these words: "We continued our course toward England, without seeing any land by the way, all the rest of this moneth of October.
Surgeon Pavy's angry protests compelled the sending back in the "Proteus" paralleling the sending back of Coleburne in the pink of one member of the company; and Lieutenant Kislingbury paralleling Juet's insubordination objected so strongly to Greely's regulations that he gave in his resignation and tried, unsuccessfully, to overtake the "Proteus" and go home in her.
As for the river, it assuredly is Hudson's very own. From Juet's log I make the following extracts, telling of the "Half Moon's" approach to Sandy Hook and of her passage into the Lower Bay: "The first of September, faire weather, the wind variable betweene east and sooth; we steered away north north west.
This river is likewise laid down in Ogilvy's map as Manhattan Noordt, Montaigne, and Mauritius river. Juet's Journ. Purch. Pil. The delectable accounts given by the great Hudson and Master Juet of the country they had discovered excited not a little talk and speculation among the good people of Holland.
To supply the deficiencies of Master Juet's journal, which is written with true log-book brevity, I have availed myself of divers family traditions, handed down from my great-great-grandfather, who accompanied the expedition in the capacity of cabin-boy.
There we saw no people to trouble us, and rode quietly all night, but had much wind and raine." In that entry the name Manna-hata was written for the first time, and was applied, not to our island but to the opposite Jersey shore. The explanation of Juet's record seems to be that the Indians known as the Mannahattes dwelt or that Juet thought that they dwelt on both sides of the river.
