Answer:

The Spaniards, having learned of the French intrusion from captured pirates who turned out to be defectors from La Salle, sought the French colony with five sea voyages and six land marches. On April 4, 1687, pilots of the voyage of Martín de Rivas and Pedro de Iriarte came upon the wreckage of the bark Belle on Matagorda Peninsula.
