The piece relates to 'the death by starvation of Commander A. Gardiner and the whole of the party sent out by the Patagonian Missionary Society in September 1850, to Picton Island, the southern extremity of America'. '3 columns, each 13½ inches by 2¾, attached to a piece of grey paper, and a fourth column, 3¾ inches by 2¾, attached to another piece. Discoloured and with minor spotting but in good condition overall. The article consists exclusively of transcriptions of two letters from Captain W. H. Morshead, H.M.S. Dido, at sea, 22 January and 21 February 1852, and of a covering letter from Rear-Admiral Fairfax Moresby, H.M.S. Portland, at Valparaiso, 21 February 1852. See Image. Note:"The Patagonian Mission, founded in 1844 by Captain Allen Gardiner, was the precursor to the South American Missionary Society (SAMS), an Anglican mission focused on bringing Christianity to the peoples of Patagonia. Although Gardiner and his companions tragically died of starvation and scurvy in 1851 during a disastrous expedition to Tierra del Fuego, their sacrifice inspired the organization. The mission continued, eventually expanding its scope, renaming itself SAMS in 1864 to reflect its broadened work across the continent." [AI Overview].…

Gardiner's disastrous last mission to Patagonia ended with his death on 6 September 1851, as the last of the seven missionaries to starve to death on Picton Island. No other copy of the present item has been traced, either on OCLC WorldCat or on COPAC. 4pp, 16mo. Bifolium. Well printed. In fair condition, lightly aged and worn, and folded several times. At the end of the poem is the author's pseudonym, the Greek letter delta, with the date 'May 10, 1852.' Monologue in blank verse by 'Captain Allan [sic] Gardiner', who is 'seen lying near a boat, in the latest stage of exhaustion'. The poem begins: 'Once more I am myself again. Once more | As calm, as free from pain, as clear in mind | As in the days of health, I gaze around | And ask, What hope?' The poem is preceded by the following note by the 'Editor': 'We had designed to ask especial attention to the touching narrative of Captain Gardiner's Patagonian Mission, and to have given expression to our sentiments upon that great undertaking. If it had prospered, we should have heard nothing but commendation of the motives which planned and the indomitable fortitude which achieved so perilous an expedition: it failed, and therefore it is subjected to obloquy. Such is the state of the world in its estimate of human action, and such it has been from the days of Nelson - when he disobeyed orders at Copenhagen, and would probably have been shot if success had not been his apology - to the present hour. We give insertion with much pleasure to the following touching lines.' Four footnotes in small print, one of them very long, with reference to 'Captain Morshead's report'.…
