In consequence and in view of these future establishments, it became of much importance that they should penetrate into all the yet unknown parts of Lincoln Island, that is to say, through that thick forest which extended on the right bank of the Mercy, from its mouth to the extremity of the Serpentine Peninsula, as well as on the whole of its western side.
Por consiguiente, para llevar a cabo la idea de estos futuros establecimientos, era urgente emprender un reconocimiento de toda la parte ignorada de la isla Lincoln, es decir, de aquellas grandes selvas que se extendían a la derecha del río de la Merced, desde su desembocadura hasta el extremo de la península Serpentina, lo mismo que toda la costa occidental.
