Guerrero Vergara, Ramon, ed. — Continued 



from the early Cliilean sourfcs. Ijlloa departed 

 from Valdivia toward the end of October, 1553, 

 and, following the coast line and channels, en- 

 tered apparently the Strait. The expedition 

 made many landings and had some contact with 

 the natives, but the fragmentary details that 

 have come down to us contain only meager 

 anthropological material. These few data, how- 

 ever, are of interest, inasmuch as they are the 

 earliest extant accounts of the Chonos and Pata- 

 gonian Channel natives. 



Guilbaudiere, louhan de la 



Description des principaux endroits 

 de la Mer du sud, depuis les 52. degre^ 

 30. minutes sud, ou est le d'Estroit du 

 Magelland jusqu'au 41. degrez Nord,

 lieux par le s? louhan de la Guilbau-

 le sieur Hanicle Ingenieur ordinaire du 

 Roy. MS. in Library of Congress, 

 Washington, D. C. [1696]. 



Contains a good though short account of the 

 culture of the Alacaluf of the Strait (pp. 3-7) and 

 some local and tribal names (pp. 18-19), but is 

 chiefly important for the vocabulary of 225 words 

 and phrases gathered by La Guilbaudiere from 

 the natives (pp. 8-13). Sometime between 1688 

 and the date of de Gennes' voyage, 1696 (Marcel, 

 o), La Guilbaudiere was sliipwrecked in the 

 Canal de Joucy-oucq or Yeoucyoucq, which, to 

 judge from Jouan's description and from Hani- 

 cle's map, was just off the Strait of Magellan 

 south of the Port Gallant district— perhaps Bar- 

 bara ChanneH The crew spent 11 months on 

 the mainland near Port Gallant making a smaller 

 boat from the wreckage of their 200-ton vessel 

 (pp. 2, 23). It was during this time, as La Guil- 

 baudiere states (p. 3), that he was enabled to 

 learn sometliing of the native culture and to 

 gather his vocabulary. He had considerable eon- 

 tact with the Indians and (p. 24) took at least 

 one long voyage of five weeks mth them by canoe. 

 The vocabulary is unquestionably Alacalufan. 

 General Mitre's criticism (i, 159), "estedocumento 

 es una mera curiosidad lingiiistica," is certainly 

 far too severe. A comparison with other Ala- 

 calufan vocabularies shows Jouan's to be as cor- 

 rect as most and more correct than many of the 

 lists gathered by more trained men; but like most 

 of the other extant lists his has a corroborative 

 rather than an independent value. 



Much of La Guilbaudiere's cultural material 

 was published by Dr. Marcel (a and c), as was 

 also the vocabulary (6). Some of the words in 

 Marcel, b, differ slightly from Jouan's manuscript 

 list; Jouan, too, wrote many of his c's and e's, I's 

 and t's, and u's and n's so much alike that it 

 is not always possible to determine which he 

 meant. Cf. Roussel, a, b.
