the island of St. Paul, which lies nearly in the same meridian, but about 60 miles farther South. These islands, it is believed, were discovered by Vlaming in 1696; and from the account of his voyage given in Valentyn's Oud en Ni uw Oost Indien, vol. iv. p. 69, we learn that in November and December of that year the Dutch navigator visited and landed on both the islands, applying the name of Amsterdam to the more northern. In October, 1837, Captain Wickham, in Her Majesty's ship Beagle

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. The idea some persons have of Copiapo being a difficult place to make is rather unfounded; the following is the manner in which we made it in the Beagle, when strangers to that part
