However, we are now within 100 miles of Mr.Gosse's farthest west, and I hope soon to see a change for the better.

We have been most fortunate in finding water, and I am indeed very thankful for it.
19th (Sunday).
Started back to meet the party, leaving old Brick hobbled, and my saddle, rug, etc., hidden in a tree.

After travelling about twenty miles, met the party coming all right.

Everything had gone on well during my absence.
They had slept last night at the rock hole, where we stayed on the 16th, and found sufficient water for the horses in it.

The note I left had been taken away by the natives, who were very numerous about there.
