Roanoke Island

My teacher told me about a person who tried to make a settlement in Roanoke Island.I do not remember his name.This person tried to make a settlement and failed.He failed because the island barely had any food to support the settlers.This same person went back to England to get more food and supplies.Sadly he had to wait for World War1 to end.Three years later he went back to Roanoke Island.When he got there the place was deserted.The only hint was a carving that wrote as Croatian.There were no bones,cemetaries,and graveyards.The way they disappeared is still unknown.The settlers could of been attacked by the Spanish,attacked by the Croatian Indians,or they could have lived with the Croatian Indians.
