Charles darwin's voyage of the Beagle.

I think Charles Darwin is a great scientist. Probably one of the greatest scientist of all time. He was pretty smart too. I don't believe his theory how we evolved. But if we prove him wrong, there is still a lot of truth in his theory. We still evolve, because we learn more and more over the years. Many people believe in his theory.
Now here is the voyage of the HMS Beagle. It is a book about one of his journeys. It starts in South America. The ship they are riding on is the Beagle. A ship that is under the command of captain Fritz Roy. They're supposed to survey Chile, Peru, and other Islands. He visits Porto Praya in St. Jago. In this town it has not rained for a entire year. There is scarcely a green leaf in the town. One day he and two officers went Riberia Grande, a town eastward from Porto Praya. It was a better town than Porto Praya. It had better water supplies and had more vegetation. Charles was suprised to see a grave from the sixteenth century. They soon returned to their inn. Before they left Riberia Grande, they visited the church. It was fine and it had a small organ. They gave the black priest a few shillings.
This is the beginning of Charle Darwin's great voyage that helped lead to the theory of evolution.
