Stephen Hopkins (Mayflower passenger)
On May 10, 1610, Hopkins and others left the island of Bermuda and came to Jamestown eleven days later.  The people in Jamestown were starving to death. They were afraid to go outside the fort and were tearing down their houses for firewood. They were not planting crops.  They also refused to trade with the Native Americans or to fish.  When he arrived from Bermuda, Governor Gates estimated there was only days worth of food left.  He decided to sail to Newfoundland and then went to England. Just as they were preparing to depart, an English ship came into the harbor with supplies and new settlers along with a new governor, Lord de la Warr. The colonists were forced to return and reestablish their fort.
