April 1834. BURIAL of lieut. cltve. 335 



I have now by me two of the tools, almost the only ones, which 

 they had to use : one is a cooper's adze, nearly worn down to 

 the middle ; and the other a saw, made out of a piece of iron 

 hoop, fixed to a wooden frame. 



6th April. While the Beagle was preparing for sea the body 

 of Lieut. Clive,* late of H. M. S. Challenger, was found lying 

 at high-water mark, in an unfrequented part of Berkeley 

 Sound ; and the following morning I buried it in a grave on 

 shore, not far from the tomb of our regretted shipmate Hellyer. 

 After noon, on the same day, we sailed from the Falklands, 

 depressed more than ever by the numerous sad associations 

 connected with their name. 



* Lieut. Clive was drowned accidentally, by the upsetting of a small 

 boat : — his body could not then be found.
