As we had prevented the old man from securing his game, I desired Topar to give him the remains of the dog; but this he refused to do.

I therefore ordered Morgan to take it from him, and told Topar I would give him an equivalent when we reached the camp.

This native did not seem to be aware that the Darling was up, a piece of news that seemed to give him much joy and satisfaction.

I kept my promise with Mr.Topar, but he deserved neither my generosity nor consideration.
Mr.Poole informed me that the fluctuations of temperature had been as great at Cawndilla as with us; that the day before, the heat likewise had been excessive, the thermometer having risen to 110 degrees, on the day of our return it was down to 38 degrees.
The natives appeared really glad to see us again, for I believe they had given us up for lost.

My old friend shed tears when he embraced us, and Nadbuck, who still remained with Toonda, shewed the most unequivocal signs of joy.
Cawndilla bears about W.S.W.from the junction of the Williorara with the Darling, at a distance of from six to seven miles.
