Jemmy has not yet overtaken us, so I conclude he has changed his mind, and does not intend following us.
We are now about nine miles from Clarke's homestead, which bears about South-South-East.
2nd.
Travelling about South-South-East for nine miles over grassy country, with York gums, etc., we reached the hospitable residence of Mr.Clarke, where we were very kindly received, and stayed a short time to hear the news.

Resuming for eighteen miles along the road to Newcastle, we passed Mr.Donald Macpherson's, where I obtained some rations, and pushed on six miles farther, and bivouacked one mile south of Badgy-Badgy, with very short feed for our horses.
3rd.
Travelling along the road towards Newcastle for twenty-six miles, we camped one mile past Byen, and about sixteen miles from Newcastle.
4th.
Reached Newcastle at eleven o'clock, and had just time to report the safe return of the expedition before the mail left.
5th.
After handing over all the horses provided by the different settlers to their respective owners, and bidding farewell to Mr.George Monger (who intends proceeding to York), I left Newcastle in company with Mr.M.
Hamersley and Tommy Windich, leaving Morgan and remainder of equipment to follow with the cart which had been brought to Newcastle by Ward and C.
Adams.

Reached Baylup at 4 p.m.
6th.
Made an early start; reached Guildford at twelve o'clock, where we rested an hour.

Then resuming, reached Perth at 4 p.m., and reported personally the results of the expedition, having been absent 113 days, in which time I travelled by computation over 2000 miles.
I now beg to make a few remarks with reference to the main object of the expedition, which was the discovery of the remains of the late Dr.
Leichardt and party.
THE NATIVES' STORIES.
In the first place, Mr.Frederick Roe was informed by the native Weilbarrin, that two white men and their native companions had been killed by the aborigines, thirteen days' journey to the northward, when he was at a spot called Koolanobbing, which is in south latitude about 30 degrees 53 minutes, and longitude about 119 degrees 14 minutes east.

Mr.
Austin lost eleven horses at Poison Rock (nine died, and two were left nearly dead), which is in latitude 28 degrees 43 minutes 23 seconds south, and longitude about 118 degrees 38 minutes east, or about 130 miles from Koolanobbing, and in the direction pointed to by the natives.
I therefore imagine it to be very probable that the whole story originated from the horses lost by Mr.Austin at Poison Rock, as I am convinced the natives will say anything they imagine will please.
