the wind,' as it is called. When Sir Thomas Hardy was on this coast, he used to cross the southerly winds with a topmast studding-sail set, as many men cross the trades, his object being to get into other winds. The current on the coast of Chile is northerly, about half a mile an hour; varying a little with the wind.

been similarly perplexed, I could have little doubt, having often talked to experienced practical men on the subject. Probably the expressions 'tide and half-tide,' 'tide and quarter-tide,' c., conveyed more distinct ideas to their minds, than to mine: for to me they were unsatisfactory, and although quite aware of their meaning, I never liked them. From 1833, I and my companions on board the Beagle paid more attention to the subject, and made observations in the manner suggested by Mr
