St Jago, Thursday [28 August] My dear FitzRoy, I arrived at this gay city late last night, and am now most comfortably established at an English Hotel. My little circuit by Quillota and Aconcagua was exceedingly pleasant. The difficulty in ascending the Campana is most absurdly exaggerated. We rode up 5/6ths of the height to a spring called the Agua del Guanaco, there bivouacked for two nights in a beautiful little arbor

heard of the Beagle surveying all these ports; all the inhabitants were convinced she was a Smuggler, they complained of the entire want of confidence the Captain showed in not coming to any terms; each man thought his neighbour was in the secret: I had even difficulty in undeceiving them. By the way, this anecdote about the smuggling shows how little even the upper classes in these countries understand the wide distinction of manners. A person who could possibly mistake Capt. FitzRoy for a smuggler

. The voyage had lasted four and three quarter years. FitzRoy became convinced that all they had seen was compatible with the account of the Creation in the book of Genesis. To account for offering a few remarks on a subject so important and difficult as that of the Deluge, I beg to say that reflections, arising out of facts witnessed during the Beagle's voyage, have occasioned them; and, as results of that expedition, it has appeared to me that they are neither irrelevant to the narrative, nor
