It was a moonlight night, and I walked up to Mr.Kennedy and said: 'There is plenty of blackfellows now;' this was in the middle of the night.

Mr.
Kennedy told me to get my gun ready.
"The blacks did not know where we slept, as we did not make a fire.

We both sat up all night.

After this daylight came and I fetched the horses and saddled them.

Then we went a good way up the river, and then we sat down a little while, and then we saw three blackfellows coming along our track, and then they saw us, and one ran back, as hard as he could run, and fetched up plenty more, like a flock of sheep almost.
