CHAPTER 2
22/68

By meridian altitudes of Mars and Regulus, camp was in south latitude, 28 degrees 58 minutes 50 seconds, and in longitude about 119 degrees 39 minutes East, Yeadie bearing North 172 degrees East magnetic, distant about two miles.
26th.
Moving in about a northerly direction for nine miles, we turned to the eastward, rounded a branch of Lake Barlee, towards some loose granite rocks, where we encamped, but could not find water.

Sent Jemmy over to another rock one mile southward, where he found a fine permanent water-hole, to which we took the horses after dark.

Distance travelled to-day about eighteen miles.

Tommy shot a fine emu, which was a great treat to us all.
27th.
Shifted the party over to the water found last night, one mile distant, and camped.

Found camp to be in south latitude 28 degrees 53 minutes, and in longitude about 119 degrees 50 minutes east.
