In 1860 he would have been working from the Keppel Mission in the Falkland Islands, but later he moved to Ushuaia on the north side of the Beagle Channel (see Riesenberg, 1940). He translated two Gospels and the Acts into the language of the Yaghan boat Indians, and compiled a dictionary of it which was not published until 1933, when the Yaghans were

FitzRoy's offer. In his second letter Sedgwick congratulated Darwin on the appointment, and, in response to a request, recommended to Darwin several books to take along on the Beagle. The first of the authors he listed was Daubeny. Daubeny's book, A Description of Active and Extinct Volcanoes,20 is a good example of the state of confusion in which many geologists found themselves at that time; Hutton is quoted in the preface, Sedgwick is praised for his Wernerian views, the universal Deluge

Harriet Martineau's, and Charles knew her too; they were all in the Carlyle circle. It is striking to discover the identical grouping of ideas repeated in a letter from Darwin to Lyell in 1861. He is complaining that Asa Gray and Sir John Herschel, and perhaps Lyell too, cling to the idea of providential intervention in the natural order. In language and example not very different from the M notebook, he reminds Lyell that the Chilenos whom Darwin met during the Beagle voyage thought that God had

: for example, some notes are dated, others are not. Sedgwick's methods of extensive and thorough collecting and cataloging of specimens must have impressed Darwin. To have had this sort of field experience just before beginning the Beagle voyage would have been invaluable. We must assume also that Darwin's competence as a geologist improved under Sedgwick's tutelage, both from field instruction and from their correspondence. Sedgwick's letters to Darwin are full of geological information. Certainly

presumed to have been liable to infection throughout their lives, whereas Darwin was exposed very briefly. There is no evidence that any other members of the crew suffered from symptoms which are now known to be characteristic of Chaga's disease and the health reports on the crew of the Beagle, which have been preserved, are remarkably good for the time (Woodruff3). On the return of the Beagle and for the rest of his long life Darwin suffered intermittently from the following array of symptoms

of Raphael Morghan and M ller. His taste for pictures lasted for several years and on his return from the Beagle he visited the National Gallery not infrequently. Later in life he saw some of Turner's paintings in Ruskin's bedroom, being at the time tactfully non commital. He said afterwards that he couldn't understand what Ruskin saw in them. Whatever natural predisposition for the arts Charles may have harboured within his genes this had little chance for development and, as the years went by

developed the skin trouble on his hands while waiting at Plymouth for the Beagle to sail, and it is suggested that Dr. Henry Holland, as he then was, had prescribed arsenic for the eruption on Charles' lips while he was at Cambridge. It is true that arsenic in the form of Fowler's solution was freely prescribed by Victorian physicians for almost every complaint in the book, and, if it were not a specific for that particular complaint, at least it went along well with whatever was, and helped to

Cambridge, no record exists of Darwin suffering from other than childish ailments until shortly before the Beagle put out from Plymouth in December 1831 while Darwin was living ashore. This must have been an anxious time for a landlubber watching the foam-crested waves rolling in under the darkened skies of December and lashed by the prevailing sou'westerlies. Experienced yachtsmen planning a cruise from Plymouth to Brittany in June or July feel the same when the weather is bad, but for the

In 1881 Edward Aveling, the only man who knew both Marx and Darwin, visited Down and it was he who later published an article defining the relation of these two great Victorian philosophers.2 In 1857 Captain FitzRoy paid a visit to Down, but this was not a success. The comradeship of the old days aboard the Beagle had evaporated and their paths had diverged. Darwin was absorbed in his
