In looking round the camp, Tommy Windich found shoulder-blade of a horse, and two small pieces of leather.

They no doubt belonged to Mr.
Eyre's equipment, and, on reference to his journal, I find he was here obliged to kill a horse for food.

In his journal he writes thus: "Early on the morning of the 16th April, 1841, I sent the overseer to kill the unfortunate horse, which was still alive but unable to rise from the ground, having never moved from the place where he had first been found lying yesterday morning.

The miserable animal was in the most wretched state possible, thin and emaciated by long and continued suffering, and labouring under some complaint that in a very few hours, at the farthest, must have terminated its life." I cut off part of the shoulder-blade, and have since given it, together with the pieces of leather, to his Excellency Governor Weld.
A PARTY OF NATIVES.
24th.
Started at 8.30 a.m.en route for Eucla.

Steering in a North-North-East direction for fifteen miles, reached the cliffs, and after following along them two miles, found a large rock water-hole, but in an almost inaccessible spot.
