The next day, April 1, when the Nautilus rose to the surface of the waves a few minutes before noon, we raised land to the west. It was Tierra del Fuego, the Land of Fire, a name given it by early navigators after they saw numerous curls of smoke rising from the natives' huts.
Den volgenden dag, 1 April, toen de Nautilus weer aan de oppervlakte kwam, zagen wij eenige minuten voor twaalven de westkust.
