Everything had gone on first-rate with the party.

They had nearly finished all the water at Mount Samuel, and in the Todd Range, so that we cannot now turn back, even if we wished, unless with the risk of having to go ninety or a hundred miles without water.
FINDING TRACKS.
11th.
Continued on to the water found ahead, and on our way saw some clay-holes with water and satisfied the horses.

When near the spring, saw natives' tracks, and shortly afterwards a fire with a whole kangaroo roasting in it.

The natives had made off when they saw us, leaving their game cooking.

Continuing on, and passing the native well, we reached the granite rocks, two miles from the spring, and camped.
