A note from Roger R.

No entries in the Diary until the 31st May.  Perhaps Darwin is running short of paper on which to write, he is sea-sick again (a frequent occurrence), or perhaps he is thinking how he can use all the knowledge he has gained over the years of the Beagle's voyage?  Captain Fitzroy and 'Darwin's personal servant' Syms Covington are similarly quiet.  All I can suggest is a re-reading of the wonderful Galapagos entries, or Darwin's adventures crossing and re-crossing the Andes... it's all here.
