After travelling three miles further, camped on the edge of a grassy flat, and gave our horses half a gallon each from our canteens.

Our horses appear fearfully distressed this evening.

For the last ninety-six hours they have only had two gallons each.

Latitude of camp 32 degrees 11 minutes 5 seconds South, longitude 125 degrees 37 minutes East.
11th.
Found, on collecting the horses, that four were missing.

Those found were in a sad state for want of water, and there was not a moment to lose.
