The horses have not had any water for two days, and show signs of distress.

Intend starting before daylight, as there is a good moon.
16th.
At 1 a.m.went with Billy to bring back the horses, which had again made off.

After returning, saddled up, and at 4.50 a.m.got under way, steering a little to the south of east in order to make the cliffs, as there might be water in rock holes near them.

At eighteen miles came to the sea, but could find no water.

At thirty miles saw a pile of stones, and at thirty-three miles saw a staked survey line.
