Took a ride to the Black and Red Beacons, to examine country round Eucla.
14th.
Bidding farewell to Eucla and the Union Jack, which we left on the flagstaff, we started for the Head of the Bight, carrying over thirty gallons of water with us, and walking in turns.

Ascended the cliffs without difficulty, and passed the boundary of the two colonies; then left the sea, and, steering in an East-North-East and North-East direction until a little after dark, camped on a grassy piece of country, without water for our horses.

Distance travelled about twenty-six miles.
By observation camp is in latitude 31 degrees 30 minutes 42 seconds South, and longitude 129 degrees 20 minutes East.
SUFFERING FROM THIRST.
15th.
Started at daylight, and travelled East-North-East for seven miles, when we bore East over generally level country, well grassed, but entirely destitute of water.

We camped at sundown on a grassy rise, without water for our horses.

Distance travelled, thirty-four miles.
