some years since. The )Etna has al.° been employed in
closely surveying the whole coast from Cape Blancho to Rio
Grande. From the constant exposure in boats, under a ver-

scurvy, and as a necessary change of provisions (a remedy
(ways successfully resorted to) could not be obtained on the
*oast off which she was surveying, Commander Belcher was
compelled to return to England.
