Although now without water, we are in comparative safety, as the horses have had nearly sufficient.

We are now only thirty-two miles from the water shown on Mr.Eyre's chart, in longitude 126 degrees 24 minutes East.

Latitude of camp 32 degrees 13 minutes 35 seconds South, and longitude 125 degrees 54 minutes East.
MEETING NATIVES.
13th.
Made an early start, and steering a little to the south of east, keeping straight for the water in longitude 126 degrees 24 minutes East.

At eighteen miles got a view of the sea, and beheld the sand-hills about fifteen miles ahead.

Here we saw some natives' fires close to us.
Approaching them, we came upon an old woman, and my brother and Tommy soon brought a man to bay.
