HANOVER BAY AND ITS VICINITY.
OCCUPATION AT THE CAMP.
During the absence of the schooner we had our attention fully engaged in forming a garden, collecting specimens, and building sheds for the stores.

So difficult and rocky was the country we were in that I was employed for several days in finding a route by which unloaded horses could travel from the beach in Hanover Bay to the point where we were encamped, for the landing-place at the end of the ravine was so rocky as to be impracticable for that purpose.

Mr.Walker at length discovered a pass in the cliffs, and by constructing a winding path in this he thought that we should be able to get loaded horses out of the valley.

I feared that he was too sanguine, and therefore daily renewed my search in all directions.
