strange--looking birds, somewhat in size less than a goose, and although
they could not fly, ran at a great rate.  They were in reality penguins,
which abounded in those regions.  In one day they killed no less than
three thousand.  On another island they found the body of a man who had
been long dead.  From these islands onwards the passage was so crooked
and narrow that they very frequently had to come to an anchor.  They
found numerous harbours and abundance of fresh water.  The mountains
here rose to a great height, their tops apparently lost in the sky, and
covered with ice and snow.  On the low grounds many fine trees were
seen, with green grass and herbs, the temperature being very similar to
that of England.

The inhabitants made fires as they passed along, but did not come off to
them.  As they drew near the western entrance of the straits, the
passage appeared so narrow, with so many broad channels opening to the
southward, that the Admiral doubted which to select.  He, therefore,
ordering the squadron to anchor, put off himself in a boat, and rowed
forwards to survey the passage.  Having found one of sufficient width,
he turned back to rejoin the fleet.  On his way he fell in with a canoe
made of bark, and full of people.  It was of a peculiarly elegant form,
turning up both at the stem and stern in a semicircle, the workmanship
being also excellent in the extreme.  The people in it were of low
stature, but of compact form, and had their faces painted.  They were on
their way to the island off which the ships lay at anchor.  A visit was
afterwards paid to them on shore.  Their dwellings were of framework,
covered with the skins of beasts.  Their food appeared to be mussels and
other shell-fish.  All their houses were of bark neatly sewn together.
Their knives were formed of mussel-shells of great size, and were so
sharp that they could cut the hardest wood with them, as well as bone,
out of which they made the fizgigs they used for killing fish.

On the 6th of September, to the joy of all on board, the three
islands close to it abounded with 
 strange -- looking dame, slightly in size less than a goose, and although 
 they could not fly, ran at a capital rate.   They were in reality penguin,

 three thousand.   On another island they found the body of a world who had 
 been long dead.   From these islands onwards the passing was therefore crooked 
 and narrow that they very frequently had to come to an anchor.   They 
 found numerous seaport and abundance of fresh water.   The mountains 
 here rise to a great height, their tops obviously lost in the sky, and 
 cover with ice and snow.   On the low yard many fine trees were

 The inhabitants made fires as they passed along, but did not come off to

 passage look so narrow, with indeed many wide channels opening to the 
 southward, that the Admiral doubt which to select.   He, therefore, 
 ordering the squadron to anchor, put off himself in a gravy boat, and rowed 
 forwards to survey the passage.   Having found one of sufficient width,
