. Through the heart of Patagonia. Natural history. BACK TO CIVILISATION 179 was scarcely a pleasure to see cognac advertisements again, and to smell the dregs of yesterday yet awash on the greasy grey metal counter! A concertina was playing the old aching tunes that always seem to carry with them tags of vice and RESIDENTS OF SANTA CRUZ We pushed on for Santa Cruz, and on the way passed the house of another trader, who also sold liquor. It squatted beside the river, which here flowed blue and estuary-like between white- faced cliffs backed by bald hills. A board over the door of the shop bore the legend "Z« Gaviota," or Seagull. It was evidently part of the wreckage of some boat washed up on these beaches. Santa Cruz town is situated on the banks of a large estuary formed by the junction of the rivers Santa Cruz and the Southern Chico before they fall into the Atlantic. It is a straggling place, a collection of wooden houses with roofs of corrugated iron. The chief export is wool, which in the season lies in long rows of bales upon.
