Patagones on the Rio NegroOur regular fortune followed us in the form of a sharp gale of wind. It soon lulled but for two or three days a nasty head swell remained, which sadly hindered our progress. The object of this cruise is to survey some of the outer banks near the R. Negro & Bahia Bianca & likewise to pick up Mr Stokes & his party, who have been so laboriously employed with the little Schooners.
Captain Fitzroy’s Journal:
On the 24th we sailed to Cape San Antonio, and thence along the coast, close by Cape Corrientes, and skirting the San Blas banks, till we anchored off the river Negro.
