Desert Island was short lived, as protestants from Virginia came and destroyed the mission after killing three of the Jesuits, wounding three others, and taking about twenty of them as prisoners to Jamestown. An excerpt from Wikipedia: In 1613, French Jesuits, welcomed by Indians, established the first French mission in America-Saint Sauveur Mission-on what is now Fernald Point, near the entrance to Somes Sound. (St. Sauveur Mountain overlooking the point still bears the name of the mission.) The French missionaries began to build a fort, plant their corn, and baptize the natives. Two months later, on 2 July 1613, Captain Samuel Argall of Virginia arrived on board the Treasurer and destroyed their mission. Three of the missionaries were killed and three were wounded. The rest of the company, some twenty in all, were taken prisoner. Argall took many of the prisoners to Jamestown. He eventually returned to Saint-Sauveur and cut down the cross the Jesuits had planted, replacing it with a Protestant version. He then set fire to the few buildings that were there. He then went on to burn the remaining French buildings on St. Croix Island and Port Royal, Nova Scotia.
