Grown desperate, at last, we decided that, Indians or no Indians, we must have fresh provisions, if any were to be had, and manned the whale-boat for an expedition to the continent. We landed on the south shore, and succeeded in discovering and bringing down a solitary guanaco. The game was dressed, and we returned to our home in triumph. The two following days were chiefly spent in hunting, unsuccessfully. In the afternoon of the second day, having nothing else to pass away the hours, I commen...ced repairing the lighter, but had not been long at work before Mr. Hall came down, with a smile. " Look out to sea ! " he exclaimed ; " Captain "White is coming. " I looked as directed, and saw distinctly two sail approaching. A thrill of joy shot through me ; I thought no more of work that day. An examination through the glass made them out to be a ship and a fore- and-aft schooner. Could it be any one else than Captain White ? The island was not frequented by vessels except for guano ; but it seemed very strange to see a schooner, as a vessel of that rig was not adapted to such a service.
