Once they camped alongside a big lagoon, on whose surface were huge pink and blue water-lilies and rushes, and vast flocks of wild fowl.

After the stretches of blazing plain and dull timber this glimpse of water was inexpressibly refreshing.
On their way back they struck new country, great stretches of almost impenetrable scrub, tropical jungle, and belts of bamboo.

In this cover wild cattle evidently abounded, for they frequently heard the bellow of the bulls.
"There should be a terrible lot of wild cattle here," said Charlie.
"Don't you ever get any out of the scrubs ?" "Oh, yes, we moonlight for 'em." said Considine.

"We take coachers out.
We have a very fair coaching mob.

Some of our coachers are as quick as racehorses, and they'll hustle wild cattle away from the scrub just as if they understood." "What do you mean by coachers ?" asked Carew.
