'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.

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 [1852]; place not stated. unknown
