On the following day we resumed our journey, and reached the junction of the ancient channel of the Darling with the Murray about 11.

The floods were running into it with great velocity, and the water had risen to a considerable height, so that many trees were standing in it.

I remained here until noon, when a meridian altitude placed us in lat.

34 degrees 4 minutes 34 seconds.

We then bade adieu to the Murray, and turned northwards to overtake the party, which under Nadbuck's guidance had cut off the angle into which we had gone.
