following for the United States of Ame-
rica. After rambling through them,
which occupied nearly two years, he
embarked, February 11th, 1820, on
board “ The Warrior,” and reached Rio
de Janeiro on the 2d of April. In the
June following he visited the coast of
C h ili; and on the 18th of July he reached
Lima, where he remained practising his
profession as an artist till the 10th of
December, when he left it on board
“ The Hyperion,” bound to England,
in the expectation of meeting a vessel
proceeding to Rio. “ The Hyperion”

art with great perseverance and success ;
and, towards the commencement of 1824,
having received the most flattering offers
of introduction to Lord Amherst, who
had just left England to take upon himself
the government of India, Mr. Earle
resolved on quitting Rio, and proceeding
to the Cape of Good Hope, thence intending
to take his passage to Calcutta.

Gloucester,” a worn-out Margate hoy,
which was proceeding thither with potatoes,
laden to the water’s edge. In what
manner she was driven into Tristan

the “ Journal.” Suffice it to say, he remained
on the island till taken off by
“ The Admiral Cockburn,” Captain Cooling,
commander, bound to Van Diemen’s

Wales and New Zealand, returning again
to Sidney, where, after making innumerable
sketches, and furnishing Mr. Rur-
