These
brilliant
constellations
began
to
bestud
the
sky
,
and
the
Southern
Cross
shone
out
.
There
were
numerous
bays
along
the
shore
,
easy
of
access
,
but
the
yacht
did
not
drop
anchor
in
any
;
she
continued
her
course
fearlessly
through
the
luminous
darkness
.
Presently
ruins
came
in
sight
,
crumbling
buildings
,
which
the
night
invested
with
grandeur
,
the
sad
remains
of
a
deserted
settlement
,
whose
name
will
be
an
eternal
protest
against
these
fertile
shores
and
forests
full
of
game
.
The
Duncan
was
passing
Fort
Famine
.
It
was
in
that
very
spot
that
Sarmiento
,
a
Spaniard
,
came
in
1581
,
with
four
hundred
emigrants
,
to
establish
a
colony
.
He
founded
the
city
of
St.
Philip
,
but
the
extreme
severity
of
winter
decimated
the
inhabitants
,
and
those
who
had
struggled
through
the
cold
died
subsequently
of
starvation
.
Cavendish
the
Corsair
discovered
the
last
survivor
dying
of
hunger
in
the
ruins
.
After
sailing
along
these
deserted
shores
,
the
Duncan
went
through
a
series
of
narrow
passes
,
between
forests
of
beech
and
ash
and
birch
,
and
at
length
doubled
Cape
Froward
,
still
bristling
with
the
ice
of
the
last
winter
.
On
the
other
side
of
the
strait
,
in
Terra
del
Fuego
,
stood
Mount
Sarmiento
,
towering
to
a
height
of
6,000
feet
,
an
enormous
accumulation
of
rocks
,
separated
by
bands
of
cloud
,
forming
a
sort
of
aerial
archipelago
in
the
sky
.
It
is
at
Cape
Froward
that
the
American
continent
actually
terminates
,
for
Cape
Horn
is
nothing
but
a
rock
sunk
in
the
sea
in
latitude
52
degrees
At
Cape
Momax
the
straits
widened
,
and
she
was
able
to
get
round
Narborough
Isles
and
advance
in
a
more
southerly
direction
,
till
at
length
the
rock
of
Cape
Pilares
,
the
extreme
point
of
Desolation
Island
,
came
in
sight
,
thirty-six
hours
after
entering
the
straits
.
Before
her
stem
lay
a
broad
,
open
,
sparkling
ocean
,
which
Jacques
Paganel
greeted
with
enthusiastic
gestures
,
feeling
kindred
emotions
with
those
which
stirred
the
bosom
of
Ferdinand
de
Magellan
himself
,
when
the
sails
of
his
ship
,
the
TRINIDAD
,
first
bent
before
the
breeze
from
the
great
Pacific
.
A
WEEK
after
they
had
doubled
the
Cape
Pilares
,
the
Duncan
steamed
into
the
bay
of
Talcahuano
,
a
magnificent
estuary
,
twelve
miles
long
and
nine
broad
.
The
weather
was
splendid
.
From
November
to
March
the
sky
is
always
cloudless
,
and
a
constant
south
wind
prevails
,
as
the
coast
is
sheltered
by
the
mountain
range
of
the
Andes
.
In
obedience
to
Lord
Glenarvan
's
order
,
John
Mangles
had
sailed
as
near
the
archipelago
of
Chiloe
as
possible
,
and
examined
all
the
creeks
and
windings
of
the
coast
,
hoping
to
discover
some
traces
of
the
shipwreck
.
A
broken
spar
,
or
any
fragment
of
the
vessel
,
would
have
put
them
in
the
right
track
;
but
nothing
whatever
was
visible
,
and
the
yacht
continued
her
route
,
till
she
dropped
anchor
at
the
port
of
Talcahuano
,
forty-two
days
from
the
time
she
had
sailed
out
of
the
fogs
of
the
Clyde
.
Glenarvan
had
a
boat
lowered
immediately
,
and
went
on
shore
,
accompanied
by
Paganel
.
The
learned
geographer
gladly
availed
himself
of
the
opportunity
of
making
use
of
the
language
he
had
been
studying
so
conscientiously
,
but
to
his
great
amazement
,
found
he
could
not
make
himself
understood
by
the
people
.
"
It
is
the
accent
I
've
not
got
,
"
he
said
.
"
Let
us
go
to
the
Custom-house
,
"
replied
Glenarvan
.
They
were
informed
on
arriving
there
,
by
means
of
a
few
English
words
,
aided
by
expressive
gestures
,
that
the
British
Consul
lived
at
Concepcion
,
an
hour
's
ride
distant
.
Glenarvan
found
no
difficulty
in
procuring
two
fleet
horses
,
and
he
and
Paganel
were
soon
within
the
walls
of
the
great
city
,
due
to
the
enterprising
genius
of
Valdivia
,
the
valiant
comrade
of
the
Pizarros
.
