This river was standing in pools, and there was a great rush of water from the hills; they traced the bed up for two or three miles, where it came out from some very high hills, when Mr.Smith said he was certain that it was not the Karpan.
They then made a south by west course, and thought where they came out was 12 miles below where Woods left them; and that the river was nearly halfway between these two points.
They now again turned into the interior, being, as they thought, at the bay to the south of Jurieu Bay.
April 23.
They returned and kept along the beach, made about fifteen miles, when they halted close to it.
April 24.
They went on for five or six miles, then halted and made a fire with the end of a spar.
April 25.
They travelled two or three hundred yards.

Mr.Walker went back for the end of the spar and Mr.Smith cut some firewood.

There they halted, catching fish and crabs.
April 26 and 27.
Still halted at this spot, fishing, and caught parrot-fish, rock-cod, etc.; so that they had as much fish as they could use, and found fresh water in the holes of the rocks.
April 28.
They started at dawn and went on for a mile.

Ruston was taken ill from the number of crabs he had eaten, and Mr.Walker stopped with him whilst the other three went on a mile ahead and got fish and periwinkles.

Mr.
Smith, Stiles, and Clotworthy had a little water left; Ruston and Mr.
Walker had canteens half-full.
