TIERRA DEL FUEGO.
DECEMBER 17, 1832.
Having now finished with Patagonia and the Falkland Islands, I will describe our first arrival in Tierra del Fuego.

A little after noon we doubled Cape St.Diego, and entered the famous Strait of Le Maire.

We kept close to the Fuegian shore, but the outline of the rugged, inhospitable Staten-land was visible amidst the clouds.

In the afternoon we anchored in the Bay of Good Success.
