COPIES OF ORDERS. 559 
Sir; Beagle, Port Famine, 19th April 1829. 
In obedience to the orders I have received from Captain King, 
it is my direction that you put yourself under the orders of Lieut. 
Skyring, and proceed with him as he may think best for the 
execution of the service upon which he is ordered, and in which 
you will give him every assistance that you can afford. 
Mr. Kirke, with a boat and boat’s crew, will be sent to assist 
you. 
I have, &c. 
(Signed) Roser Firz-Roy, 
To Lieut. Thos. Graves, Commander. 
Commanding His Majesty’s schooner Adelaide. 
Sir; Beagle, Port Gallant, 19th June 1829. 
It is my direction that you put yourself under the orders of 
Lieutenant Skyring, and co-operate with him in the execution of 
the service on which he is about to be employed. 
Mr. Kirke, with a boat and five men, will be sent to assist. 
I have, &c. 
(Signed) Rogert Frrz-Roy. 
To Lieut. Thos. Graves, Commander. 
His Majesty’s schooner Adelaide. 
SIR ; Beagle, Port Gallant, June 19th 1829. 
It is my direction that as soon as you consider the rates of the 
chronometer on board the Adelaide sufficiently settled, you proceed 
in her to search for, and, if practicable at this season of the year, 
survey such part of the passage which is supposed to lead from the 
vicinity of Cape Tamar to Concepcion Strait and the Gulf of 
Trinidad, as your time and provisions will allow. 
Your chief object will be to open a passage from Cape Three 
Points to Cape Tamar, between the mass of islands which lie 
between those capes.
