feelings, when passing a house near Pernambuco, I heard the most pitiable moans, and could not but suspect that some poor slave was being tortured, yet knew that I was as powerless as a child even to remonstrate . Near Rio de Janeiro I lived opposite to an old lady, who kept screws to crush the fingers of her female slaves. I have stayed in a house where a young household mulatto, daily and hourly, was reviled, beaten, and persecuted enough to break the spirit of the lowest animal.'16 As a

crew. On the 5th of July, says the Captain's narrative, we sailed from Rio de Janeiro, honoured by a salute, not of guns, but of hearty cheers, from H. M. S. Warspite. Though not about to encounter a foe, our lonely vessel was going to undertake a task laborious, and often dangerous, to the zealous execution of which the encouragement of our brother-seamen was no trifling inducement. Geographical details are tiresome; there is no reason why we need lumber our minds with names and distances of

have imagined that a little soft fish could have destroyed the great and savage shark? Darwin has entered upon a long vista of sights in the struggle for existence that are quite beyond the invention of the human mind. On March 18 the Beagle left Bahia, headed south to take soundings in the Abrolhos islets, which were reached in ten days. On April 3, when seventy-five miles east of Rio de Janeiro, they passed close by the cove where two British frigates were recovering the treasure from the

midnight abusing you all the time. The difficulty of living on good terms with a Captain of a Man-of-War is much increased by its being almost mutinous to answer him as one would answer anyone else; and by the awe in which he is held or was held in my time, by all on board. I remember hearing a curious instance of this in the case of the purser of the Adventure, the ship which sailed with the Beagle during the first voyage.

Captain Robert FitzRoy was in his religious beliefs more fanatic, in his temperament more explosive, and in egotism more selfrighteous, than Jameson and Sedgwick. That Darwin had the psychological strength to endure five years with FitzRoy can at least partially be attributed to his exposure to Sedgwick. The North Wales tour was therefore for many reasons an invaluable experience for Darwin. In a letter fro111 Rio de Janeiro to Henslow, May 18
