They had seen four natives, but did not get near enough to talk to them.

I intend going with Windich ahead to-morrow, in the hope that rain may have fallen last night to the East-North-East.

The weather, which had looked threatening all day, cleared off this evening.

Barometer 28.56.
THE BAKER RANGE.
5th.
Thinking that rain might have fallen to the North-East, I left camp with Windich to ascertain, instructing my brother to follow on the 7th; before leaving to bury some flour and everything that could be dispensed with, and to carry all the drums full of water.

He has since informed me that he buried on left bank of brook, seven yards north of a small tree with a tin plate nailed on it, on which is written, DIG 7 yds.
