They reported the river as being, to all appearance, navigable, and that the tide only set in from the westward.
THE RIVER.
As the southern bank of the river was bordered by high rocky hills they saw nothing of the country in that direction.

Their report was on the whole satisfactory, for it appeared that the good country still extended along the northern bank, and that we were upon the mainland.
PORPOISES SEEN.
A good idea may be formed of the size of the river where the party made it from the circumstance of their seeing a large shoal of porpoises.

DENSENESS OF VEGETATION.
March 7.
This morning we started early in a north-easterly direction and travelled all day through a very fertile and picturesque country.

On our left lay hills covered with grass, and on our right extensive plains, through which ran the Glenelg.

The vegetation in these was so luxuriant that it choked the fresh water up; and whole plains were sometimes thus inundated ankle deep.
