If I could only go now, with my head sixty years old and my body twenty-five, I could do something. Then he said that his visit to the Pacific, or rather his voyage in the Beagle, was the beginning of his scientific career; that he had not before given much serious attention to science, or studied with a definite purpose; that when the Beagle was fitting out he was a young man, fond of sport

The Fuegians appear to be in this respect in an intermediate condition, for when the surgeon on board the Beagle shot some young ducklings as specimens, York Minster declared in the most solemn manner, Oh! Mr. Bynoe, much rain, much snow, blow much; and this was evidently a retributive punishment for wasting human food. So again he related how, when his brother killed a wild man, storms long raged, much rain and snow fell. Yet we could never discover that the

They also threatened a young missionary, who was left for a time with them, to strip him naked, and pluck the hairs from his face and body, yet he was far from a hairy man. This fashion is carried to such an extreme that the Indians of Paraguay eradicate their eyebrows and eyelashes, saying that they do not wish to be like horses.57 It is remarkable that throughout the world the races

pratica. Maggio 5. — Prima dell'alba noi cominciammo la nostra discesa. Scendevamo lungo la corrente con grandissima velocità, generalmente in ragione di dieci nodi all'ora. In questo solo giorno facemmo un cammino che ci aveva costato cinque giorni e mezzo di dura fatica per risalire il fiume. Il giorno 8 giungemmo alla Beagle dopo una spedizione di 21 giorno. Ognuno, io eccettuato, aveva ragione di essere scontento; ma quel viaggio mi aveva somministralo una interessantissima sezione della

. Mentre noi procedevamo lungo il canale Beagle, la scena assumeva un carattere particolare e molto grandioso; ma l'effetto era mollo diminuito essendo veduto dal basso in una barca, e dal guardare lungo la valle perdendo cosi tutta la bellezza di una successione di punte. I monti erano qui alti circa mille metri e terminavano in cime scoscese ed acute. Essi sorgono in una parete non interrotta dall'orlo dell'acqua e sono coperti fino all'altezza di centoventi o centocinquanta metri da una foresta di

baleniere alla nave, e continuare la nostra gita colle altre due barche, una sotto il suo comando (nella quale molto gentilmente mi permise di accompagnarlo), ed una sotto il comando del signor Ilammond, per ispezionare le parti occidentali del canale Beagle, e ritornare poi a visitare lo stabilimento. Con nostra grande meraviglia la giornata era eccessivamente calda, tantoché la nostra pelle ne era scottata; con quel bel tempo, la vista nel mezzo del canale era notevolissima. Da qualunque parte

alberi. Evidentemente questo promontorio era una morena ammucchiatasi nel periodo in cui il ghiacciaio aveva maggiori dimensioni. Giunti alla bocca occidentale di questo ramo settentrionale del canale Beagle, continuammo la nostra via in mezzo a molle ignote e desolate isole, con tempo sommamente cattivo. Non incontrammo alcun indigeno. La costa era quasi in ogni punto tanto scoscesa, che varie volte avemmo da girare per molte miglia prima di trovare spazio sufficiente per piantare le nostre due

per lo sfregamento delle particelle; fatto che notai parecchie volte sulla costa del Brasile. Tre giorni dopo seppi che la Beagle era arrivata al Porto, lontano diciotto leghe dalla città. Nel basso della valle vi è pochissima terra coltivala; in tutta la sua larghezza non cresce che un po' d'erba avvizzita, che anche gli asini non possono quasi mangiare. Questa scarsità nella vegetazione si deve alla quantità di materia salina di cui il margine è impregnato. Il Porto si compone di una riunione di

nell'Albemarle, vedemmo un filetto di fumo che usciva dalla cima di uno dei grandi crateri. La sera si gettò l'ancora nel Seno di Bank, nell'isola Albemarle. L'indomani andai a fare una escursione a piedi. Al Sud del cratere rotto di terra, nel quale la Beagle si era ancorata, ve ne era un altro di una bella forma elittica simmetrica; il suo asse più lungo era un po' meno di un miglio e profondo circa 150 metri. Al suo fondo vi era un lago di poca profondità, nel mezzo del quale un sottile
