To collect information and prepare the way for the ultimate establishment of a Mission among them, under the superintendence of the Church Missionary Society, for the sole object of several journeys undertaken at different periods and at considerable intervals between the years 1838 and 1842. In the course of these journeys, commenced from Valparaiso, Coneipeion and Valdivia, communications with the Indians were opened and access was obtained to some of their frontier locations'. Gardiner continues to give an account of various journeys from Valparaiso etc.; opposition of friars and their influence on chiefs; embittered feeling of the Indians against all foreigners; approach from the south by way of Falkland Islands; suggests Gregory Bay and Oazy Harbour as first missionary stations; presence of families from Tierra del Fuego; language difficulties; antipathy of Fugians; inability for Church Missionary Society to raise funds, etc. Allen Francis Gardiner (1794-1851) was a British Royal Navy officer and missionary to Patagonia.

In 1844 a special society was formed for South America, which took the name of the Patagonian Missionary Society. Unable to establish a mission Gardiner returned to England in June 1845. On a later mission to Picton Island in 1850 Gardiner and his small team all gradually died of starvation. Gardiner published several works including 'A Visit to the Indians on the Frontiers of Chili', 1840; 'A Voice from South America', 1847. (1)
