In fact there were quite a lot of minor incidents which seemed to endanger life and limb to the animals if not the men, but which all ended safely.
One of Meares' dog teams ran away--one poor dog got turned over at the start and couldn't get up again (Muk/aka).

He was dragged at a gallop for nearly half a mile; I gave him up as dead, but apparently he was very little hurt.
The ponies are certainly going to keep things lively as time goes on and they get fresher.

Even as it is, their condition can't be half as bad as we imagined; the runaway pony wasn't much done even after the extra trip.
The station is beginning to assume the appearance of an orderly camp.

We continue to find advantages in the situation; the long level beach has enabled Bowers to arrange his stores in the most systematic manner.

Everything will be handy and there will never be a doubt as to the position of a case when it is wanted.
