But
all
the
passengers
took
his
part
except
the
Major
,
who
was
perfectly
indifferent
about
geographical
questions
,
especially
at
dinner-time
.
Paganel
also
came
across
a
regular
cargo
of
old
books
in
the
chief
officer
's
chest
.
They
were
in
a
very
damaged
condition
,
but
among
them
he
raked
out
a
few
Spanish
volumes
,
and
determined
forthwith
to
set
to
work
to
master
the
language
of
Cer-vantes
,
as
no
one
on
board
understood
it
,
and
it
would
be
helpful
in
their
search
along
the
Chilian
coast
.
Thanks
to
his
taste
for
languages
,
he
did
not
despair
of
being
able
to
speak
the
language
fluently
when
they
arrived
at
Concepcion
.
He
studied
it
furiously
,
and
kept
constantly
muttering
heterogeneous
syllables
.
He
spent
his
leisure
hours
in
teaching
young
Robert
,
and
instructed
him
in
the
history
of
the
country
they
were
so
rapidly
approaching
.
On
the
25th
of
September
,
the
yacht
arrived
off
the
Straits
of
Magellan
,
and
entered
them
without
delay
.
This
route
is
generally
preferred
by
steamers
on
their
way
to
the
Pacific
Ocean
.
The
exact
length
of
the
straits
is
372
miles
.
Ships
of
the
largest
tonnage
find
,
throughout
,
sufficient
depth
of
water
,
even
close
to
the
shore
,
and
there
is
a
good
bottom
everywhere
,
and
abundance
of
fresh
water
,
and
rivers
abounding
in
fish
,
and
forests
in
game
,
and
plenty
of
safe
and
accessible
harbors
;
in
fact
a
thousand
things
which
are
lacking
in
Strait
Lemaire
and
Cape
Horn
,
with
its
terrible
rocks
,
incessantly
visited
by
hurricane
and
tempest
.
For
the
first
three
or
four
hours
--
that
is
to
say
,
for
about
sixty
to
eighty
miles
,
as
far
as
Cape
Gregory
--
the
coast
on
either
side
was
low
and
sandy
.
Jacques
Paganel
would
not
lose
a
single
point
of
view
,
nor
a
single
detail
of
the
straits
.
It
would
scarcely
take
thirty-six
hours
to
go
through
them
,
and
the
moving
panorama
on
both
sides
,
seen
in
all
the
clearness
and
glory
of
the
light
of
a
southern
sun
,
was
well
worth
the
trouble
of
looking
at
and
admiring
.
On
the
Terra
del
Fuego
side
,
a
few
wretched-looking
creatures
were
wandering
about
on
the
rocks
,
but
on
the
other
side
not
a
solitary
inhabitant
was
visible
.
Paganel
was
so
vexed
at
not
being
able
to
catch
a
glimpse
of
any
Patagonians
,
that
his
companions
were
quite
amused
at
him
.
He
would
insist
that
Patagonia
without
Patagonians
was
not
Patagonia
at
all
.
But
Glenarvan
replied
:
"
Patience
,
my
worthy
geographer
.
We
shall
see
the
Patagonians
yet
.
"
"
I
am
not
sure
of
it
.
"
"
But
there
is
such
a
people
,
anyhow
,
"
said
Lady
Helena
.
"
I
doubt
it
much
,
madam
,
since
I
do
n't
see
them
.
"
