A dry but not hot wind blew from the S.S.

W.; the night and morning were bright; cumuli with sharp margins hung about after eleven o'clock.
A pelican was seen flying down the river, and two native companions and an ibis were at the water-holes.

Crows, cockatoos, and ducks were frequent.

From the remains of mussels about these water-holes, the natives have enjoyed many recent meals.
I sent Mr.Roper and Charley down the river, who informed me, on their return late at night, that they had found water at different distances; the farthest they reached was distant about seventeen miles, in a water-hole near the scrub; but the bed of the river was dry.

As they rode, one on the right and the other on the left side of the river, a Blackfellow hailed Charley and approached him, but when he saw Mr.
Roper--who crossed over upon being called--he immediately climbed a tree, and his gin, who was far advanced in pregnancy, ascended another.
