The party had finished all the water on their way, the horses yesterday having drank over ten gallons each.

This afternoon I took a round of angles and bearings from a pile of stones on the hill.
Marked a tree F 72, near spring, which I named Barlee Spring, after the Honourable F.P.Barlee, Colonial Secretary of Western Australia, from whom I have ever received much kindness and assistance, and who took a great interest in this expedition.

A remarkable hill bore South-South-West from spring, which I named Mount Palgrave.

Barlee Spring is in longitude about 127 degrees 22 minutes East.

Unable to get latitude: too cloudy.
15th.
Left camp with Windich to look for water ahead, instructing my brother to follow to-morrow.
