Narrative of the surveying voyages of his majesty's ships Adventure and Beagle (vol.2): between the years 1826 and 1836 : describing their examination of the southern shores of South America, and the Beagles's circumnavigation of the globe

April 1834. BURIAL of lieut. cltve. 335 I have now by me two of the tools, almost the only ones, which they had to use : one is a cooper's adze, nearly worn down to the middle ; and the other a saw, made out of a piece of iron hoop, fixed to a wooden frame. 6th April. While the Beagle was preparing for sea the body of Lieut. Clive,* late of H. M. S. Challenger, was found lying at high-water mark, in an unfrequented part of Berkeley Sound ; and the following morning I buried it in a grave on shore, not far from the tomb of our regretted shipmate Hellyer. After noon, on the same day, we sailed from the Falklands, depressed more than ever by the numerous sad associations connected with their name. * Lieut. Clive was drowned accidentally, by the upsetting of a small boat : — his body could not then be found.
