When the name "John Smith" is called, you are stunned. He has been accused of mutiny by Edward Wingfield and is held in confinement. The penalty for mutiny is death. How can such a man be a leader of your colony?
No one is willing to make a decision. Captain Wingfield is elected President, and for now John Smith will remain confined in irons aboard ship.
The Instructions for the Virginia Colony are read. This document will guide your search for a suitable place to construct your settlement. Examine it carefully. It may well be the difference between survival and death.
