We followed along them South-East for four miles, and then South-East to a bluff range about eighteen miles, which we reached at sundown.

Spinifex generally, a few grassy patches intervening, on which were numbers of kangaroos.

We camped close to the bluff, and gave the horses one gallon of water each out of the cans.

Just when the pannicans were boiled, heard noises which we thought were natives shouting.

We instantly put out the fire and had our supper in the dark, keeping a sharp look-out for two hours, when we were convinced it must have been a native dog, as there were hundreds all round us, barking and howling.
