Just by chance I finished reading "Shackleton's Boat Journey" by F. A. Worley, today. Near the very end, Shackleton and Worley were trying to return to Elephant Island to rescue their shipmates from the Endeavour after it was crushed by ice in Antarctica. After three attempts, Worley writes, "the Chilean Government came nobly to the rescue. They lent Shackleton the little steamer "Ylecho." And, finally, they were able, after 16 months on the ice, to rescue their fellow explorers of the 1914-1916 expedition. Seems Chile had some good karmic brownie points to redeem.:-)
