Fires were blazing all along the coast as far as the eye could reach, and Verrazano knew by that that the country was inhabited.

Verrazano stayed here some fifteen days, pleasantly entertained by the natives, and finding them always friendly and trustful.

The coast names north of Florida seem to have been obtained from the Verrazano sources of 1524.

A few years after the death of Verrazano they sent out another expedition, in charge of Cartier (car-ty).
