Read the source carefully and then answer the questions. Q4. Where does Lane go and what does he want to see? Q6. Why do you think he would be interested in going to see it? Does the source tell you anything about why people wanted to establish a settlement in America? Q7. Food supplies were short and there was no way of knowing if a relief ship was on the way.
