Barometer 28.50; thermometer 56 degrees at 8 p.m.; latitude 25 degrees 13 minutes 36 seconds South by meridian altitude of Arcturus.

Left the rum-keg and a pair of farrier's pincers in the stone hut at Weld Springs.
21st (Sunday).
Got an early start, and continued on East-South-East.

At about three miles reached a spring on a small patch of feed in the spinifex and camped, but found, after digging it out, that scarcely any water came in.
I have no doubt that it will fill up a good deal in the night; but, our horses being thirsty, I re-saddled and pushed on to the water about sixteen miles ahead, which we reached at 4 p.m.There is not more than a week's supply here, therefore I intend going ahead with Pierre to-morrow in search of more.

The country ahead seems promising, but there is a great deal of spinifex almost everywhere.

From Weld Spring to our present camp is all spinifex, with the exception of a few flats along short gullies.
