Editing History of the Falkland Islands (section)

===Penal colony and mutiny===
In the aftermath of the ''Lexington'' incident, Major [[Esteban Mestivier]] was commissioned by the Buenos Aires government to set up a [[penal colony]]. He arrived at his destination on 15 November 1832 but his soldiers mutinied and killed him.  The mutiny was suppressed by armed sailors from the French whaler ''Jean Jacques'', whilst Mestivier's widow was taken on board the British sealer ''Rapid''. ''Sarandí'' returned on 30 December 1832 and Major [[José María Pinedo]] took charge of the settlement.<ref name="Strange1972">{{cite book|author=Ian J.
