To our relief and joy learnt that my brother and Windich had found water about five miles South-South-East, sufficient to last two or three weeks.

This was good news; so after dinner we packed up and went over to the water.
The feed was not very good, but I am truly thankful to have found it, as a retreat of seventy miles over most wretched country was anything but cheering.

Barometer 28.52; thermometer 70 degrees at 5 p.m.; latitude 25 degrees 43 minutes 8 seconds by Arcturus.
8th.
Rested at camp.

Devoted the day to taking sets of lunar observations.
There is very little feed about this water, and to-morrow my brother and Pierre go on a flying trip ahead.

It is very warm to-day, and has been for the last week.
