CHAPTER 5

Camped without water for our horses on a fine flat of very old grass.

Windich's horse completely knocked up, and we had to walk and drive him before us this afternoon.
The day was excessively hot, and the horses are very thirsty.

We have only about a quart ourselves.
ELDER SPRINGS.
22nd.
Early this morning we continued on, Windich's horse scarcely able to walk.

After about ten miles, found a rock hole with three gallons of water in it, which we gave to our horses.

Followed Mr.Gosse's track to see if there was any water about his depot Number 12, but we either missed it or had not reached it.
