"Yes," she said; "it should be bought, if other things suited. We will talk of it to-morrow, John." Then he spoke of his mission to Patagonia and of his regret that it should be abandoned. Even were he ever to be well again his strength would return to him too late for this purpose. He had already made known to the Foreign Office his inability to undertake that service.
The typical AMERICAN has straight black hair and dark eyes, his skin exhibiting various shades of reddish or yellowish brown, sometimes inclining to olive. The face is broad and scantily bearded; the skull wide and high. Such people extend from Patagonia to Mexico, and much farther north along the west coast.
Nevertheless, in September, and even as early as August, they begin to arrive on the pampas, the golden plover often still wearing his black nuptial dress; singly and in pairs, in small flocks, and in clouds they come curlew, godwit, plover, tatler, tringa piping the wild notes to which the Greenlander listened in June, now to the gaucho herdsman on the green plains of La Plata, then to the wild Indian in his remote village; and soon, further south, to the houseless huanaco-hunter in the grey wilderness of Patagonia.
The facts about the jaguar are not new in the sense of casting new light on its character, although they are interesting; but the facts about the behavior of the puma in one district of Patagonia are of great interest, because they give an entirely new side of its life-history.

As soon as the DUNCAN had re-provisioned, she sailed along the coast of Patagonia, doubled Cape Horn, and made a swift run up the Atlantic Ocean. No voyage could be more devoid of incident. The yacht was simply carrying home a cargo of happiness.
Bed of nitrate of soda at Iquique. Saline incrustations. Salt-lakes of La Plata and Patagonia; purity of the salt; its origin.
What a history of geological changes does the simply-constructed coast of Patagonia reveal! At Port St. Julian, in some red mud capping the gravel on the 90-feet plain, I found half the skeleton of the Macrauchenia Patachonica, a remarkable quadruped, full as large as a camel.
"Is it about about Harry Green?" "Yes. You see, dear, he he doesn't know I'm married." "Goodness, Agatha! You don't mean he he still thinks you are engaged to marry him?" "That's just it, Betty. I didn't tell him in fact, I had forgotten all about him, away down there in Patagonia, wherever it is. He " "And, oh, he was so terribly in love with you and you with him, too!"
