Went a few miles to the North-West and looked all round, but only found a small rock water-hole.

Windich got an opossum out of a tree.

We returned about twelve o'clock and then ate the opossum.

At about one o'clock we saddled up and made back towards the party, which I thought should have arrived by this time.

When about two miles we met them coming on; they had been obliged to leave two horses on the way, knocked up, one named Fame, about twenty-four miles away, and Little Padbury about eight miles back; all the others were in pretty good trim, although very hungry and tired.
