This southern Republic was unwearied in its efforts to make a successful rescue, and the gratitude of our whole party is due to them.

I especially mention the sympathetic attitude of Admiral Mu ?z Hurtado, head of the Chilian Navy, and Captain Luis Pardo, who commanded the 'Yelcho' on our last and successful venture.
Sir Daniel Gooch came with us as far as South Georgia.

I owe him my special thanks for his help with the dogs, and we all regretted losing his cheery presence, when we sailed for the South..
