They were both buried in the English burial ground at Bahia; where in the lonely spot are also two other midshipmen. The other five of the party were all slightly attacked; none of them for more than a day or two. Macac has been latterly especially notorious for fevers: how mysterious how terrible is their power.2 It is remarkable that in almost every case, the fever appears to come on several days

The report of the Bay of San Blas is so bad, that I suppose we shall not enter it. 4th We ran down alongside the Schooners; all the necessary business between them the Beagle was carried on with the greatest activity: The morning passed away most merrily in hearing relating everything which has happened since we parted.
