Until the 20th, they had very light airs, inclining to calms. On the evening of the IDth, they made the land of Chili ; and on the 21st the Peacock arrived in Valparaiso, where to their surprise they found our store-ship the Relief, which had arrived at Valparaiso some days previous. The Relief left Orange Harbour on the 26th of February, (a copy of her instructions will be found in Appendix XXX. , ) for the purpose of visiting various places in the Straits of Magellan, to afford an op- portuni...ty of making investigations, and opening a larger field for our naturalists during the fifty or sixty days they were to be detained on the coast. Most of the scientific gentlemen were accordingly trans- ferred to her ; and she was ordered to enter the Brecknock Passage, and thence into Cockburn Sound, of which we had King's valuable SOUTHERN CRU I SE. 157 chart ; and I thought that the passage into the strait was more feasible, and might be sooner accomplished by that route than by taking the eastern passage, particularly as the wind was favourable.
