On reaching the River May, or San Juan, on the 20th of June [1564] he [Laudonniere] established a settlement at the Bluffs of San Mateo*[Arredondo note * Situated three leagues up the river, on the south bank, in 30° 26', and twelve leagues distant from San Agustin. [Bluffs here mean simply high banks.] and erected a post which he called Charlesfort, without any mention of the name of Carolina, as the previous establishment had been called.
Being settled now at San Mateo, the Huguenots remained there without doing anything but to solicit trade and friendship with the Indians of the territory, and to attempt by gifts and flattery to get information as to where gold and silver might be obtained. 14. 
[Bolton note: Laudonniere had three hundred colonists. June 24 is the accepted date for the arrival at San Juan River. Fort Caroline (not Charlesfort) was erected on the bluffs or high banks of the river about nine miles east of Jacksonville. Visits were made by the Frenchmen to neighboring tribes; tales of treasure were followed; piratical expeditions were made against the Spaniards of the West Indies. Forced by mutiny and hard times, Laudonniere began to build a vessel in which to escape. At an opportune moment John Hawkins passed by and sold the Frenchmen a ship. Just as the French were preparing to leave, Ribaut appeared with reenforcements and bearing orders for Laudonniere's recall (Lowery, Spanish Settlements . . . 16621674, PP49-100; Barcia, Ensayo Cronoldgico, 45-46).]
