122 MISS HAMILTON’S JOURNAL 
transhipped the Professor, Senor Williams, and myself. 
With the exception of a small personal case containing the 
Professor’s last work and Field notes all luggage together 
with Museum Collection was left on the ‘Renalto’. From 
the small glassed-in steering box of the ‘Antonia Dias’, 
which shipped every wave, and seemed as much under the 
water as on the water, it appeared only a matter of time till 
we were entirely submerged. But I knew nothing of the 
fame of this tugboat, which was supposed to be capable of 
defying any sea. This was generously sent to our rescue by 
Senor Ihnes of Braun & Blanchard, Magallanes. One 
realized that the first boat which had been sent must have 
inevitably failed in such a sea. In less than two hours we 
arrived safely in Magallanes, where again, through the kind 
and invaluable assistance of Senor Ihnes, the English Consul, 
and Senor Ken Williams, the many distressing difficulties 
and foreign laws were eventually solved. 
The Doctor’s autopsy of the Professor revealed Angina 
Pectoris, 1 and he was buried in Magallanes on July 26, 1929. 
The schooner ‘Renalto’ came in late next day almost in¬ 
tact with our luggage and the Museum Collection. 
The distance from Isle Navarino to Magallanes is 310 
miles. The journey with a good motor engine is usually done 
in three days. We had taken nine days. The ‘Renalto’ was 
smashed to pieces eight days later just as her crank-shaft was 
successfully repaired and she was awaiting her next voyage 
anchored in the Bay of Magallanes. Such storms have not been 
known in the South for the past nine years. In the second 
storm four sailors were drowned, and more than a hundred 
small boats were thrown up on the beach in Magallanes. 
July 28, 1929. A letter from Senor Tekenica Williams of Rio 
Douglas, Navarin Island, to Mrs. Arthur Young.
