Ruston got better in the evening but they did not proceed until the next morning.
April 29.
Mr.Walker moved on with Ruston about a mile and there found Mr.Smith clambering up some rocks, and having plenty of periwinkles, of which he gave them some.

Clotworthy had stopped up all night and had picked up enough for four or five days.

At night at low tide they got nearly fresh water running out from under the rocks.
April 30.
They still halted, living on the periwinkles; but this evening the water was more salt.
May 1.
This day the party separated into two portions and did not meet again until the 2nd, on which day Mr.Walker left them by agreement, he being the strongest of the party.

His object was to proceed as expeditiously as he could to Fremantle and send from thence a boat and fresh water for the relief of the rest.

The party he left behind having agreed to keep a constant look out on the beach and hoist concerted signals.
For two days after Mr.Walker left them it appears they wandered about to look for water and then fished.
