Sir Samuel, 1572–1639, British explorer: colonial governor of Virginia 1617–19.

Captain Argall assured them that he would take their part in such a war, and they consented to his plan.

As soon as he had unloaded the corn, Argall set his men to work felling timber and hewing boards with which to build a "frigat."

Argall returned to Point Comfort and "went forward with his frigat and finished her."

Argall himself, with a third gang, left in the shallop on the first day of May to explore the east side of the Bay.

Argall made the round trip by the shorter route in five months.
