xvm VOYAGES OF A NATURALIST 



Canaries, and Cape Verde Islands, we ran down 

 the Atlantic coast of South America, calling at 

 some of the islands, and visiting Bahia and Monte- 

 video for coal, thence through the Straits of 

 Magellan and Smythe's Channel into the South 

 Pacific. From Valparaiso we sailed westwards 

 amongst the South Sea Islands ; thence through 

 Torres Straits into the Indian Ocean. After 

 leaving Ceylon we steamed south-westwards until 

 the African coast was sighted, hoping — and in 

 this we were partly successful — -to escape the fury 

 of the monsoon. The remainder of the voyage 

 home was performed by way of the Red Sea and 

 Mediterranean, and, after a pleasant passage 

 through these waters, Cowes was reached on 1st 

 August, 1903.
