It was their capital that had enabled him to perform the work which he had done, and for which his name would remain as a monument for ever in the memories of South Australians.

For not only were we indebted to Stuart for the most valuable discoveries he had made, but he thought Mr.Todd would say that his indications had proved the most accurate.

But he had also done a great thing for exploration in changing the modus operandi.

He had been one of Sturt's party that went out with bullock-drays; but he had had genius, and had changed all that, starting upon exploring with light parties, and thus being able to accomplish so much, and he was glad to say that explorers since had followed up the same plan with great success.

(Cheers.) And they were still further indebted to the Messrs.Chambers.They had not only assisted in discovering far-off country, but had been the first to invest their capital in stocking it and making it useful.
