I think the colonists were killed by the natives because it says that the Europeans were a threat to the natives, which means that if the Europeans were giving unfair rules and they were a threat to the natives, that means the natives were most likely out to kill the Europeans.

I think they tried to leave but got lost at sea. In the text it says, "The colonists simply gave up waiting for john white to return tried to return to England on their own and were lost at sea along the way." This shows how they tried to leave but got lost on the ship.
