"Good day," exclaimed the savages in almost the same tone. "Hillo! what, do you speak English?" cried Arthur. "Hillo! what, do you speak English?" echoed the Patagonians. "Of course I do," answered Arthur. "Of course I do," said the natives. Indeed, whatever words we uttered they repeated.
After six months' delay, the letter came, and proved to be unfavourable; there was a falling off in the funds of the Society, and a new and doubtful mission was thought undesirable. The Captain believed that nothing but personal representations could prevail, and therefore decided on going home to plead the cause of his Patagonians.
Flint arrows of triangular or oval form, notched or stalked, were everywhere used for a considerable length of time. They are found in the numerous caves of France, beneath the ANTAS of Portugal, in the tombs of Mykenae, as well as among the Ainos of Japan and the Patagonians of South America.
Now, do you admit that there are aborigines in Australia?" "Bravo, Paganel!" said the Major. "Well, do you agree to my interpretation, my dear Lord?" asked the geographer again. "Yes," replied Glenarvan, "if you will prove to me that the fragment of a word GONIE, does not refer to the country of the Patagonians." "Certainly it does not. It has nothing to do with Patagonia," said Paganel.
During his stay at this place Cavendish had some skirmishes with the Patagonians, "men of gigantic size, and having feet eighteen inches long" who wounded two of the sailors with arrows tipped with sharpened flints.
Besides, I may teach you all to become faunal naturalists." The delighted boys followed the old man to Captain Hazzard's cabin, but, to their disappointment, he forbade the expedition peremptorily. "The Patagonians are dangerous savages," he said, "and I will not assume the responsibility of allowing you to risk your lives."
Beyond them are the large-limbed Patagonians, clothed in skins; and at the extreme end, the wretched Fuegans, living in nearly a state of nature, on seals and fish. The race supposed to have been the most civilised before the time of the Incas were the Aymaras, whose descendants still inhabit the shores of Lake Titicaca. Their language differs from the Quichua, though evidently a sister-tongue.
Further on, to the south, the Pampas, over which the yet savage and untamed Patagonians roam, and hunt the huanacu and ostrich, is generally higher and drier.
It is more difficult than one would suppose for a captain to maintain perfect calmness and impassiveness in the midst of the worst dangers, even those he has reason to imagine likely to be fatal." Peckett Harbour was alive with Patagonians, and officers and men were alike eager to land. A crowd of natives on horseback were waiting for them at the place of disembarkation.
This compulsory halt was not wasted, for a large number of new plants were collected, and the port with the neighbouring bays were surveyed. The commander, however, finding the season already so far advanced, gave up his idea of going out at the westerly end of the strait, and went back the way he came, hoping thus to get an interview with the Patagonians before going to the Polar regions.
