Leaving the party to follow, I went with Jemmy in advance to look for water, which we found in a rough stream-bed, and brought the party to it.

This afternoon went with Jemmy to the summit of Yeadie, and took a round of angles.

The local attraction was so great on this hill that the prismatic compass was useless; luckily I had my pocket sextant with me, by which I obtained the included angles.

From the summit of Yeadie the view was very extensive.
The great lake that we had already followed for forty miles ran as far as the eye could reach to the east and south, studded with numerous islands; low ranges of hills in every direction.

This immense lake I named Lake Barlee, after the Colonial Secretary of Western Australia.
