his growing purpose and increasing grasp, he soon knew his 'right facts': fact-finding and theory were working in harness. Hypotheses, of which he was never short, led to the search for facts; and fact and emergent theories were under constant re-examination. As the years passed in the Beagle's slow progress up and down the coast of the South American continent during the years 1832 to 1835, whilst Captain FitzRoy was meticulously checking and rechecking the charts of the indented coastlines

and 10. 2 Captain Robert FitzRoy, 1805-65, commanding H.M.S. Beagle. He had been on a previous surveying cruise to S. America under Captain King during the years 1826-30. His surveys were noted for their excellence. Became Governor of New Zealand, the settlers petitioning Parliament for his recall. On his return, the science of meteorology and the lifeboat service owed much to his labours. Darwin wrote to his sister in 1832: 'I should not call him a clever man, yet I feel convinced nothing is

Thus, during the evening of Friday, 5th February 1836, a blustery wet day (Narrative, 2, p. 624), Charles Darwin reached Hobart Town in the 'Beagle' (Narrative of the Surveying Voyages of H.M.S.

In making too much profession, or rather in only fully expressing momentary feelings of gratitude, I had a sort of consciousness I was not right; though I never realized the idea that I was tending to make myself in act less grateful.

In Valparaiso he was severely ill with fever and debility so that the sailing of the Beagle was delayed owing to the consideration of Captain FitzRoy, who wished to see him completely recovered. It had been suggested that these attacks may have been malarial, but there is no mention of the prescription of cinchona bark which was known to be a remedy for intermittent fever by the South American
