There is a small soakage from the rocks; we filled the drums to-night, so as to have sufficient for them in the morning, as the water does not come in quickly.

The view to the east is not very interesting.

A few low hills, and generally level country--apparently thickly wooded with mulga and acacia.
THE MARRYATT RIVER.
15th.
Got an early start, and steering about east for six miles, crossed the Gum Creek, and followed it along about a mile and a half, when we steered more to the east, until we struck the head of the Marryatt, which we followed down North-East and east, until we reached the salt native well marked on Mr.Gosse's map.

We camped here, and dug out the well, which was very brackish; yet the horses drank it.

There was a very poor supply of water, and we kept bailing it out into the drums all night, and managed to get out about sixty gallons.
