There we rested an hour.

Resuming, we travelled nearly along our outward track for eighteen miles, and camped without water on a small patch of feed.

Tommy shot two wurrongs to-day.

Started at daybreak, and, continuing nearly along our outward track for twenty-five miles, we reached the water close to Mount Malcolm, where we left the party, they having shifted, as instructed, seventeen miles farther back.

There we rested an hour; but, having finished our provisions, we roasted two wurrongs and made a first-rate dinner.

Tommy also shot an emu that came to water, and which we carried to camp.
Reached there at 6 p.m.and found all well, having been absent seven days, every night being without water, during which time we travelled over 200 miles.
6th.
Weighed all the rations, and found we had 283 pounds flour, 31 pounds bacon, 28 pounds sugar, and 4 pounds tea--equal to thirty-two days' allowance of flour, ten days' bacon, nineteen days' sugar, and twenty-one days' tea on a full ration.
