destroyed by the great Earthquake of 1747. The state of ruin is much more complete than that of Concepcion; quantities of shingle almost conceal the foundations of the walls. It is believed the Land at the time subsided: I found some curious geological facts, which are only explicable by a similar movement but at a very remote period, when the country stood at a less elevation by 100 ft yet was inhabited by Indians. 1 I do not think there is any place which the Beagle has visited, of which I

after the return of the Beagle to England, FitzRoy had undergone a religious conversion, and had become a convinced fundamentalist. There can be no doubt whatever that he did not hold such extreme views when in 1831 he invited CD to sail with him. It was CD rather than FitzRoy who afterwards recalled that: 'Whilst on board the Beagle I was quite orthodox, and I remember being heartily laughed at by several of the officers (though themselves orthodox) for quoting the Bible as an unanswerable

4th The winds being very light we did not pass under the Sugar loaf till after dinner: our slow cruize was enlivened by the changing prospect of the mountains; sometimes enveloped by white clouds, sometimes brightened by the sun, the wild stony |132| peaks presented new scenes. When within the harbor the light was not good, but like to a good picture this evenings view prepared the mind for the morrows enjoyment. In most glorious style did the little Beagle enter the port lower her sails

It immediately made one understand how powerful a flotilla of such boats would be in war. The racing was rather too long; especially as the Beagle did not come off quite so triumphantly as might have been wished for. The evening passed away pleasantly, by moonlight on the beach several foot races were got up between the officers the crews of Captains gigs. 13th Dined with Mr Cairnes; who is the only merchant whom I have met with in society.

At sunset the Adventure steered for West Falkland Island we came to an anchor under Watchman Cape. 23nd After Latitude observations at noon we made sail for the Straits of Magellan. 26th With a fair wind, we passed the white cliffs of Cape Virgins entered those famous Straits. 29th Came to an anchor in St Gregory Bay; these days we have beaten against strong Westerly gales. the tide here rises between 40 50 feet runs at the rate of between 5 6 miles per hour.

I had been wandering about North Wales on a geological tour with Professor Sedgwick1 when I arrived home on Monday 29th August. My sisters first informed me of the letters from Prof. Henslow2 Mr Peacock3 offering to me the place in the Beagle which I now fill. I immediately said I would go; but the next morning finding my Father so much averse to the whole plan, I wrote to Mr Peacock to refuse his offer. On the last day of August I went to Maer,4 where everything soon bore a different

evening at Praia Grande, where owing to having lost our pass ports, we were plagued to prove that our horses were not stolen. 24th To my joy I at last gained the Beagle. I found a days rest so delightful that I determined idly to remain on board. During my absence several political changes have taken place in our little world. Mr Maccormick has been invalided, goes to England by the Tyne. Mr Derbyshire by his own request was discharged the service. In his place Mr Johnstone will be moved into the

, before it was daylight, the Beagle stood too close in-shore stuck her stern fast about a foot in the mud. With a little patience m neuvering they got her off, two whale boats being lowered to sound the bank ahead, we soon gained the channel. The navigation of the Plata is difficult, owing to there being no landmarks, the water generally shoal running in currents the number of banks in the whole course. We saw several old wrecks which now serve as buoys to guide other ships. It is an ill wind which

no supper was served out; as we were 18 on shore very little food left. We made a sort of tent or screen with the boats sails prepared to pass the night. It was very cold, but by all huddling in a heap, we managed pretty well till the rain began, then we were sufficiently miserable. 3rd At day-break things wore a very bad appearance. The sky looked dirty it blew a gale of wind; a heavy surf was roaring on the beach; what was the worst of all the men thought this weather would last. The Beagle

21st The Beagle got under weigh at 4 AM. doubtless to the grief of the Fuegians: The same evening we were with them they departed in a body, but yesterday they returned with a reinforcement of natives |275| who most likely came to beg for Cochillas . We doubled Cape Good Success, then the wind fell light it became misty. So calm a sea atmosphere would have surprised those who think that this is the region where winds waters never cease fighting. 22nd In the morning watch it freshened into a

to E. L. Bridges (Uttermost fart of the earth, Hodder Stoughton, London, 1948), who was born and brought up with the Fuegians at the Mission established by his father, Thomas Bridges, at Ushuaia on the Beagle Channel, the word iapooh means an otter, while teke uneka means I do not understand you. FitzRoys original informant must therefore have been conveying a lack of understanding rather than the name of the place. The canoe-using natives of the Beagle Channel called themselves Yamana (People

day will be an important one in the history of the Beagle. Perhaps it may shorten our cruize, anyhow it will double the work done; when at sea, it is always pleasant to be sailing in company; the consort affords an object of attention to break the monotomous horizon of the ocean.1 1 FitzRoy's purchase of Lowe's schooner at his own expense, necessarily made like the chartering of La Paz and La Li vre without prior approval from London, gave rise later, notwithstanding its important contribution to

we found all this alarm was about nothing, for the Indians turned out to be friendly ones, who wished to join General Rosas. Sunday 18th The Beagle had not arrived. I had nothing to do, no clean clothes, no books, nobody to talk with. I envied the very kittens playing on the floor. I was however lucky in a hospitable reception by Don Pablo, a friend of Harris. |351| 19th I was anxious to see if the Beagle was in the mouth of the Bay.
