At 7 1/2 miles farther to the north crossed another creek, followed it for a mile, when it joined a larger one, the course of which was to the north-east.

In this creek there were numerous large pools of water.

Crossing it, Mr.Poole ascended a hill to take bearings, from which he descended to a third creek, where he stopped for the night.
On the following morning he continued his journey to the north, being anxious to report to me the character of the ranges.

At 12 miles over open plains he intersected a creek trending to the eastward, in which there was an abundant supply of water; but this creek differed from the others in having muddy water, and but little vegetation in its neighbourhood.

Passed some native huts, and saw twenty wild turkeys.
