Captain Louis Claude Desaulses De Freycinet on the
L'Urainie on a voyage of discovery arrived in Sydney. Following a week
of celebrations, Monsieur and Madame Freycinet entertained the Officers of
the colony on board the Uranie before departing late December.
In 1817 French captain Freycinet commanded
the "Uranie," in which Jacques Etienne Arago and others went to Rio de
Janeiro, to take a series of pendulum measurements. This was only part of a
larger scheme for obtaining observations, not only in geography and
ethnology, but in astronomy, terrestrial magnetism, and meteorology, and for
the collection of specimens in natural history. For three years Freycinet
cruised about, visiting Australia, the Marianne, Sandwich, and other Pacific
islands, South America, and other places, and, notwithstanding the loss of
the "Uranie" on the Falkland Islands during the return voyage, returned
to France with fine collections in all departments of natural history. |
