They found some good water.

Barometer, at 6.30 p.m., 28.88; thermometer 76 degrees.

Took observations for time and longitude.

We are much in want of rain, and thought we should have had some, but the barometer is rising this evening.

To-morrow we enter on country entirely unknown.
4th.
Started at nine o'clock, and, travelling North-East for three miles, came to junction of river from Mount Gould, when we got some fresh water, also met two natives who were friendly, and they accompanied us.
