Adventure and Beagle to report that the captain of the Beagle, exhausted and depressed by the trials of surveying the stormy and desolate coast of Tierra del Fuego, had shot himself. Overruling Captain King's request that the first lieutenant of the Beagle should take over the command, the Admiral gave it instead to FitzRoy. At the age of 23, FitzRoy thus became captain of a ten-gun brig engaged on 'an accurate survey' of the southern

During the period that he spent on the Beagle, the practice normally adopted by Martens was to make pencil studies and sometimes watercolours in a series of sketchbooks that he carried with him in the field. Two or three such sketchbooks were evidently in use at any one time, so that there is an appreciable overlap in the dates of the drawings. Four sketchbooks numbered on their covers I, II, III and

Introduction The artist originally appointed as the official recorder of the topography of the places to be visited by the beagle was Augustus Earle. Born in 1793, and therefore one of the oldest men on board, Earle was the son of an American painter, James Earl (1761-96), who had settled for a while in England. After a period of formal training in London, possibly in the studio of Benjamin West, Augustus Earle had spent twenty years giving full rein to an ambition to record the scenery in

He made a good impression, and early in October FitzRoy was describing him enthusiastically to Darwin. But the Beagle was not yet ready to sail, and Martens remained on shore until the beginning of December, his first drawing actually made on board the ship being the superb panorama from her anchorage dated 4 December 1833.

And in October 1830 the Beagle docked at Plymouth with her unique cargo. One of the Fuegians, Boat Memory, succumbed soon afterwards
