Still bearing to the north we kept finding little drops in the granite rocks--our old friend the granite rock has returned to us again, after having been absent for several hundred miles.

We satisfied our horses, and rested a short time to have something to eat, not having had anything for forty-eight hours.

We bore North-West, and soon afterwards found a fine rock hole of water in granite rocks, sufficient to last the party a day.

Plenty of water on rocks, also, from recent rain here.

We were rejoiced, as we now had a place to bring the party to.
