Strana 166 - I myself saw on my former visit several dead [bodies exposed in the public squares, victims of the cuchillo. This was the result of a night's debauch, and the fracas attendant upon it. No other punishment awaited the culprits than the remorse of their own conscience. " Now Valparaiso, and, indeed, all Chili, shows a great change for the better ; order reigns throughout ; crime is rarely heard of, and never goes unpunished ; good order and decorum prevail outwardly everywhere ; that engine of good...
Strana 123 - Their mimicry became at length annoying, and precluded our getting at any of their words or ideas. It not only extended to words or sounds, but actions also, and was at times truly ridiculous. The usual manner of interrogating for names was quite unsuccessful. On pointing to the nose, for instance, they did the same. Anything they saw done they would mimic, and with an extraordinary degree of accuracy. On these canoes approaching the ship, the principal one of the family, or chief, standing up in...
Strana xxvi - You will then, on rejoining the vessels at Terra del Fuego, with all your squadron, stretch towards the southward and westward as far as the Ne Plus Ultra of Cook, or longitude 105° W., and return northward to Valparaiso, where a store-ship will meet you in the month of March, 1839.
Strana 365 - The critical reader will, like ourselves, charitably hope, from some of the phrases in the document, that at the time of its concoction the philologist was not put on board ; although we are not such land-lubbers as not to know that the heavy part of the cargo is generally stowed away first. " GENERAL ORDER. • " All the officers of the Exploring Expedition will be required to conform to the rules and regulations of the service, by keeping a journal during the cruise, which he will send to the commander...
Strana 324 - Nothing could be more striking than the difference that prevailed between these natives and those of the Disappointment Islands, which we had just left. The half-civilization of the natives of Raraka was very marked, and it appeared as though we had issued out of darkness into light. They showed a modest disposition, and gave us a hearty welcome. We were not long at a loss...
Strana xxvi - Leaving the larger vessels securely moored, and the officers and crews occupied in their respective duties, you will proceed with the brig Porpoise, and the tenders, to explore the southern Antarctic, to the southward of Powell's Group, and between it and Sandwich Land, following the track of Weddell as closely as practicable, and endeavoring to reach a high southern latitude...
Strana 235 - In the cool of the evening it is much frequented, and its stone seats arc occupied by numbers of citizens. This is the best place to get a view of the inhabitants ; and notwithstanding their internal commotions, they appear fully to enjoy their cigarittas, which they are constantly smoking. " The peculiar dress of the ladies is here seen to the best advantage, and, however fitted it may be to cover intrigue, is not certainly adapted to the display of beauty. A more awkward and absurd dress cannot...
Strana 112 - They had good figures and pleasant-looking countenances, low foreheads, and high cheek-bones, with broad faces, the lower part projecting ; their hair was coarse, and cut short on the crown, leaving a narrow border of hair hanging down ; over this they wore a kind of cap or band of skin or woollen yarn. The front teeth of all of them were very much worn, more apparent, however, in the old than in the young-. On one foot they wore a rude skin sandal. " Many of them had their faces painted in red and...
Strana 120 - It is impossible to fancy any thing in human nature more filthy. They are an ill-shapen and ugly race. They have little or no idea of the relative value of articles, even of those that one would suppose were of the utmost use to them, such as iron and glassware. A glass bottle broken into pieces is valued as much as a knife. Red flannel, torn into...
