neighbouring tribes on the continent, such as they are described by Mr. Thomas Falkner, who resided near 40 years among them, we must confess, that those are in every respect superior; they have horses, and a greater variety of food, supplying themselves by the chace; their garments are better calculated to defend them against the injuries of the climate; their arms both offensive and defensive, prove genius and an exertion of mind, of which the poor inhabitants of Tierra del Fuego seem utterly
