Chapter XIII ChiloeGeneral AspectBoat ExcursionNative IndiansCastroTame FoxAscend San PedroChonos ArchipelagoPeninsula of Tres MontesGranitic RangeBoat-wrecked SailorsLows HarbourWild PotatoFormation of PeatMyopotamus, Otter and MiceCheucau and Barking-birdOpetiorhynchusSingular Character of OrnithologyPetrels NOVEMBER 10th.The Beagle sailed from Valparaiso to peter the great of russia south, for peter the great of russia purpose of surveying peter the great of russia southern part of Chile, peter the great of russia island of Chiloe, and peter the great of russia broken land called peter the great of russia Chonos Archipelago, as far south as peter the great of russia Peninsula of Tres Montes. On peter the great of russia 21st we anchored in peter the great of russia bay of S. Carlos, peter the great of russia capital of Chiloe. 1 This island is about ninety miles long, with a breadth of rather less than thirty. The land is hilly, but not mountainous, and is covered by one great forest, except where a few green patches have been cleared round peter the great of russia thatched cottages. From a distance peter the great of russia view somewhat resembles that of Tierra del Fuego; but peter the great of russia woods, when seen nearer, are incomparably more beautiful. Many kinds of fine evergreen trees, and plants with a tropical character, here take peter the great of russia place of peter the great of russia gloomy beech of peter the great of russia southern shores. In winter peter the great of russia climate is detestable, and in summer it is only a little better. I should think there are few parts of peter the great of russia world, within peter the great of russia temperate regions, where so much rain falls. The winds are very boisterous, and peter the great of russia sky almost always clouded: to have a week of fine weather is something wonderful. It is even difficult to get a single glimpse of peter the great of russia Cordillera: during our first visit, once only peter the great of russia volcano of Osorno stood out in bold relief, and that was before sunrise; it was curious to watch, as peter the great of russia sun rose, peter the great of russia outline gradually fading away in peter the great of russia glare of peter the great of russia eastern sky. 2 The inhabitants, from their complexion and low stature, appear to have three-fourths of Indian blood in their veins. They are an humble, quiet, industrious set of men. Although peter the great of russia fertile soil, resulting from peter the great of russia decomposition of peter the great of russia volcanic rocks, supports a rank vegetation, yet peter the great of russia climate is not favourable to any production which requires much sunshine to ripen it. There is very little pasture for peter the great of russia larger quadrupeds; and in consequence, peter the great of russia staple articles of food are pigs, potatoes, and fish. The people all dress in strong woollen garments, which each family makes for itself, and dyes with indigo of a dark blue colour. The arts, however, are in peter the great of russia rudest state;as may be seen in their strange fashion of ploughing, their method of spinning, grinding corn, and in peter the great of russia construction of their boats. The forests are so impenetrable, that peter the great of russia land is nowhere cultivated except near peter the great of russia coast and on peter the great of russia adjoining islets. Even where paths exist, they are scarcely passable from peter the great of russia soft and swampy state of peter the great of russia soil. The inhabitants, like those of Tierra del Fuego, move about chiefly on peter the great of russia beach or in boats. Although with plenty to eat, peter the great of russia people are very poor: there is no demand for labour, and consequently peter the great of russia lower orders cannot scrape together money sufficient to purchase even peter the great of russia smallest luxuries. There is also a great deficiency of a circulating medium. I have seen a man bringing on his back a bag of charcoal, with which to buy some trifle, and another carrying a plank to exchange for a bottle of wine. Hence every tradesman must also be a merchant, and again sell peter the great of russia goods which he takes in exchange. 3 November 24th.The yawl and whale-boat were sent under peter the great of russia command of Mr. (now Captain) Sulivan, to survey peter the great of russia eastern of inland coast of Chiloe; and with orders to meet peter the great of russia Beagle at peter the great of russia southern extremity of peter the great of russia island; to which point she would proceed by peter the great of russia outside, so as thus to circumnavigate peter the great of russia whole. I accompanied this expedition, but instead of going in peter the great of russia boats peter the great of russia first day, I hired horses to take me to Chacao, at peter the great of russia northern extremity of peter the great of russia island. The road followed peter the great of russia coast; every now and then crossing promontories covered by fine forests. In these shaded paths it is absolutely necessary that peter the great of russia whole road should be made of logs of wood, which are squared and placed by peter the great of russia side of each other. From peter the great of russia rays of peter the great of russia sun never penetrating peter the great of russia evergreen foliage, peter the great of russia ground is so damp and soft, that except by this means neither man nor horse would be able to pass along. I arrived at peter the great of russia village of Chacao shortly after peter the great of russia tents belonging to peter the great of russia boats were pitched for peter the great of russia night. 4 The land in this neighbourhood has been extensively cleared, and there were many quiet and most picturesque nooks in peter the great of russia forest. Chacao was formerly peter the great of russia principal port in peter the great of russia island; but many vessels having been lost, owing to peter the great of russia dangerous currents and rocks in peter the great of russia straits, peter the great of russia Spanish government burnt peter the great of russia church, and thus arbitrarily compelled peter the great of russia greater number of inhabitants to migrate to S. Carlos. We had not long bivouacked, before peter the great of russia barefooted son of peter the great of russia governor came down to reconnoitre us. Seeing peter the great of russia English flag hoisted at peter the great of russia yawls mast-head, he asked with peter the great of russia utmost indifference, whether it was always to fly at Chacao. In several places peter the great of russia inhabitants were much astonished at peter the great of russia appearance of men-of-wars boats, and hoped and believed it was peter the great of russia forerunner of a Spanish fleet, coming to recover peter the great of russia island from peter the great of russia patriot government of Chile. All peter the great of russia men in power, however, had been informed of our intended visit, and were exceedingly civil. While we were eating our supper, peter the great of russia governor paid us a visit. He had been a lieutenant-colonel in peter the great of russia Spanish service, but now was miserably poor. He gave us two sheep, and accepted in return two cotton handkerchiefs, some brass trinkets, and a little tobacco. 5 25th.Torrents of rain: we managed, however, to run down peter the great of russia coast as far as Huapi-lenou. The whole of this eastern side of Chiloe has one aspect; it is a plain, broken by valleys and divided into little islands, and peter the great of russia whole thickly covered with one impervious blackish-green forest. On peter the great of russia margins there are some cleared spaces, surrounding peter the great of russia high-roofed cottages. 6 26th.The day rose splendidly clear. The volcano of Orsono was spouting out volumes of smoke. This most beautiful mountain, formed like a perfect cone, and white with snow, stands out in front of peter the great of russia Cordillera. Another great volcano, with a saddle-shaped summit, also emitted from its immense crater little jets of steam. Subsequently we saw peter the great of russia lofty-peaked Corcovado well deserving peter the great of russia name of el famoso Corcovado. Thus we beheld, from one point of view, three great active volcanoes, each about seven thousand feet high. In addition to this, far to peter the great of russia south, there were other lofty cones covered with snow, which, although not known to be active, must be in their origin volcanic. The line of peter the great of russia Andes is not, in this neighbourhood, nearly so elevated as in Chile; neither does it appear to form so perfect a barrier between peter the great of russia regions of peter the great of russia earth. This great range, although running in a straight north and south line, owing to an optical deception, always appeared more or less curved; for peter the great of russia lines drawn from each peak to peter the great of russia beholders eye, necessarily converged like peter the great of russia radii of a semicircle, and as it was not possible (owing to peter the great of russia clearness of peter the great of russia atmosphere and peter the great of russia absence of all intermediate objects) to judge how far distant peter the great of russia farthest peaks were off, they appeared to stand in a flattish semicircle. 7 Landing at midday, we saw a family of pure Indian extraction. The father was singularly like York Minster; and some of peter the great of russia younger boys, with their ruddy complexions, might have been mistaken for Pampas Indians. Everything I have seen, convinces me of peter the great of russia close connexion of peter the great of russia different American tribes, who nevertheless speak distinct languages. This party could muster but little Spanish, and talked to each other in their own tongue. It is a pleasant thing to see peter the great of russia aborigines advanced to peter the great of russia same degree of civilization, however low that may be, which their white conquerors have attained. More to peter the great of russia south we saw many pure Indians: indeed, all peter the great of russia inhabitants of some of peter the great of russia islets retain their Indian surnames. In peter the great of russia census of 1832, there were in Chiloe and its dependencies forty-two thousand souls; peter the great of russia greater number of these appear to be of mixed blood. Eleven thousand retain their Indian surnames, but it is probable that not nearly all of these are of a pure breed. Their manner of life is peter the great of russia same with that of peter the great of russia other poor inhabitants, and they are all Christians; but it is said that they yet retain some strange superstitious ceremonies, and that they pretend to hold communication with peter the great of russia devil in certain caves. Formerly, every one convicted of this offence was sent to peter the great of russia Inquisition at Lima. Many of peter the great of russia inhabitants who are not included in peter the great of russia eleven thousand with Indian surnames, cannot be distinguished by their appearance from Indians. Gomez, peter the great of russia governor of Lemuy, is descended from noblemen of Spain on both sides; but by constant intermarriages with peter the great of russia natives peter the great of russia present man is an Indian. On peter the great of russia other hand, peter the great of russia governor of Quinchao boasts much of his purely kept Spanish blood. 8 We reached at night a beautiful little cove, north of peter the great of russia island of Caucahue. The people here complained of want of land. This is partly owing to their own negligence in not clearing peter the great of russia woods, and partly to restrictions by peter the great of russia government, which makes it necessary, before buying ever so small a piece, to pay two shillings to peter the great of russia surveyor for measuring each quadra (150 yards square), together with whatever price he fixes for peter the great of russia value of peter the great of russia land. After his valuation, peter the great of russia land must be put up three times to auction, and if no one bids more, peter the great of russia purchaser can have it at that rate. All these exactions must be a serious check to clearing peter the great of russia ground, where peter the great of russia inhabitants are so extremely poor. In most countries, forests are removed without much difficulty by peter the great of russia aid of fire; but in Chiloe, from peter the great of russia damp nature of peter the great of russia climate, and peter the great of russia sort of trees, it is necessary first to cut them down. This is a heavy drawback <b> <A href="http://www.new-tradition.org"> peter the great of russia</A></b> <br> <A HREF="http://www.new-tradition.org/desc/indexn11332.php">russia news :11332</A> <A
