Now it is in good order, and we are quite safe from attack at night, should they attempt it again, which I think is doubtful, as they got too warm a reception last time.

I intend going with Windich to-morrow easterly in search of water.

Barometer 29.09 at 5 p.m.; thermometer 62 degrees.
16th.
Left the Weld Springs with Windich and a pack-horse carrying fourteen gallons of water.

Steered South-East for twelve miles over spinifex, after which we got into a grassy ravine, which we followed along three miles, passing some fine clay-holes which would hold plenty of water if it rained.

We then turned East-North-East for twelve miles over spinifex, miserable country, when we struck the tracks of my brother and Windich on their return, June 13th.
