We have been favored, says the N.

following interesting letter from Mr.. E.

Prevented from entering one on Staten
Land, we bore away for the Falklands,
and were SO fortunate on the 29th as to
secure good one in this Island, near
the remains of an old French settlement

covered vessel stranded on the south
erp shore, and the white flag displayed
in the vicinage of several tents. The
next morning we received visit from
NJ. Duperrey, Lieut.. dc Saisseau, and
Geographical Engineer, who informed
us the wreck we saw was the French
corvette i'Uranie, which sailed from
Touion, on the nth September, 1917,
on voyage Of Circumnavigation and
discovery, last from Port Jackson
