Saddled up and reached camp at eleven o'clock, and found all well.

Yesterday morning the dogs caught an emu, off which we made a first-rate breakfast, not having had anything to eat since the previous morning.

A DIFFICULTY WITH THE NATIVES.
31st.
Started this morning in company with Mr.Monger and Jemmy in search of natives, leaving Mr.Hamersley in charge, with instructions to proceed eastward about twenty-two miles, to where I found water on the 29th.
After starting the party we steered in a South-South-East direction towards a high range of hills, which I named Mount Bivou, about twelve miles distant.

To the westward of the range we found a fine water-hole in some granite rocks, where we rested an hour to allow the horses to feed.
Continuing in about the same direction for five miles, we ascended a rough range to have a view of the country.

We descried a large fire to the westward seven miles, towards which we proceeded, in the hope of finding natives.
