The old shepherd kept talking most of the night, and said we looked more like people just come from Fowler's Bay than having come overland from Western Australia.
21st.
The horses strayed off in many directions during the night, and they were not all collected till after noon, when we continued our journey for four miles, and finding a small piece of feed, we camped without water for the horses.

Many of the horses were in a very critical state, and one was completely knocked up.
22nd.
Again were delayed by the rambling of the horses until nearly noon, when we travelled along the road towards Fowler's Bay.

After ten miles, watered the horses at a well called Waltabby, and two miles further on camped, with scarcely any feed for the horses.

One of the horses completely gave in to-day, and we had great difficulty in getting him to camp.

By meridian altitude of Arcturus, camp is in latitude 31 degrees 34 minutes 28 seconds South.
REACHING A STATION.
23rd.
Although the feed was short, our horses did not stray, and after saddling up we continued along road for two and a half miles, and reached Colona, the head station of Degraves and Co., of Victoria, where we were most hospitably received by Mr.Maiden, the manager.
