Camped on a grassy piece of country, two miles from the sea.

This is the third day without a drop of water for the horses, which are in a frightful state.

Gave them each four quarts from our water-drums, and I hope, by leaving a little after midnight, to reach the Head of the Bight to-morrow evening, as it is now only forty miles distant.

By observation, camp is in latitude 31 degrees 32 minutes 27 seconds South, and longitude 130 degrees 30 minutes East.
17th.
Was obliged to get up twice to bring back the horses, and at four o'clock made a start.

The horses were in a very exhausted state; some having difficulty to keep up.
