He dropped out without graduating. Next, Charless father sent him to school to become a minister (牧师). This time he made it to graduation. But he didnt want to do the work of a minister. His friends encouraged him to follow his interest in science. After graduation, Charles was invited to sail on the Beagle as an unpaid scientist. He wasnt the first choice, but he was the lucky one to go. The Beagle was to travel to South America and then around the world. The crew s task was to make maps of the places they visited.On December 27th, 1831, Charles Darwin sailed from England on the Beagle. The trip was planned to last two years. In fact, it lasted five. During this time, he saw many amazing things. He collected lots of plants and animals and took them back to England to study. In 1859, Darwin published an important scientific paper with another man named Wallace. Darwin described how some animals have adaptations that help them survive.

The police said that they had disappeared during an adventure (冒险) tour of Cape York Peninsula.This was the second day of the search and the police were now very worried about the safety of the three missing people.The police said that the search had covered a wide area, but the rainforest was thick and their work was made harder by the recent rain. Later on Chief Inspector (警官) Roger Fleet said, The travelers had a radio with them. If they had been in trouble, they would have called us.The three travelers left Cooktown very early on Saturday morning in a Toyota car. They took a small dirt road that runs down to the Daintree River, a dangerous river full of crocodiles (鳄鱼). Chief Inspector Roger Fleet said the tourists wouldnt have got into trouble if they had stayed on the main road.A photo of Vicky and Tom was found by a policeman under the Be Careful about crocodiles sign near the river.
