The route which he had traveled and which he believed might develop_into a trade_route was followed by his settlers earlier than he might have expected .

Nevertheless so short was the supply of seed that the settlers were forced to retreat to Fort_Daer for food .

Accordingly Selkirk 's agents ordered the settlers to move north , and by October , John_Halkett had torn_down both posts , floating the timber to `` the Forks '' in rafts .
