While we were watering our horses we heard gunshots, and soon beheld my brother and Pierre returning.

They had good news for us, having found some springs about twenty-five miles to the eastward.
They had seen many natives; but for an account of their proceedings I insert a copy of his journal.

Barometer 28.60; thermometer 60 degrees.

We camped for the day.

Latitude 25 degrees 53 minutes 23 seconds South.
