He attended me when I came overland from Sydney, in 1838, on which occasion he recognised me, and would sleep no where but at my tent door.

He was shot by Miller in cold blood, whilst talking to one of the men of the party of which unfortunately he had the charge; but retribution soon followed.

Miller was shortly afterwards severely wounded by the natives; and, having aneurism of the heart, was cautioned by his medical attendant never to use violent exercise; but, disregarding this, when he had nearly recovered, he went one day to visit a friend at the gaol in which he ought to have been confined, and in springing over a ditch near it, fell dead on the other side, and wholly unprepared to appear before that tribunal, to which he will one day or other be summoned, to answer for this and other similar crimes.
About a dozen natives followed us from our camp, on the morning of the 8th.

We again struck the creek, on which we had rested, and which had turned to our right at 2 1/2 miles on an east by south course, and followed along its banks, until it again trended too much to the south.
We crossed alluvial flats of considerable extent, on which there was an abundance of grass.

Just at the point at which we turned from the creek, we ascended a small sand hill, covered with the amaryllis, then beautifully in flower.
