When we got close we were rejoiced to see cliffs and gorges without end, and descending the first hollow found a fine rock hole containing at least 250 gallons.

We therefore camped, as it was just sundown.

I am very sanguine of finding more water to-morrow, as our horses will soon finish this hole.

There was very little feed about the water.
SEARCHING FOR WATER.
18th.
This morning we began searching the ranges for water.

First tried westerly, and searched some fine gullies and gorges, but without success.
My horse soon gave in again, and I left him on a patch of feed and continued the search on foot.
