562 COPIES OF ORDERS. 
which, and in the channels more to the southward, you will explore 
all openings leading into the interior, and, if possible, not lose sight 
of the main-land until you reach the Strait of Magellan ; by doing 
which it is expected, from the results of your last survey, that you 
will pass through the Skyring and Otway Waters, and enter the 
Strait by the Jerome Channel. The above being the principal 
object of your operations, you will take every opportunity of 
examining all other interesting parts of the coast, in the vicinity of 
your anchorages, among which the following seem to be of most 
interest :— 
The Guaianeco Islands, and the probable place of the Wager’s 
wreck, which would seem to be to the southward of, and not far 
from the Dundee Rock of your former survey. 
If time afforded, it would be interesting to lay down the shores 
of Concepcion Strait ; also to examine the deep opening on the 
west side of St. Estevan Channel, in the latitude of 51° 8. 
Lord Nelson Strait is also of much interest, and any extension 
of our knowledge of the land that bounds the western side of 
Smyth Channel. 
But in these you will be guided by your own discretion, keep- 
ing in mind the principal object of the present survey, that of 
tracing the shores of the main-land. 
The Adventure will be at Port Famine by the Ist of April, if 
nothing occurs to prevent it ; and at Rio de Janeiro by the Ist of 
June, where you will rejoin me; but you are at liberty to call at 
Monte Video, on your way, for any supplies which you may 
require.
