18 .-- Towards evening Charley came and begged my pardon.

I told him that he had particularly offended Mr.Gilbert, and that I could not think of allowing him to stay, if Mr.Gilbert had the slightest objection to it: he, therefore, addressed himself to Mr.Gilbert, and, with his consent, Charley entered again into our service.

John Murphy and Caleb, the American negro, went to a creek, which Mr.Hodgson had first seen, when out on a RECONNOISSANCE to the northward, in order to get some game.
John had been there twice before, and it was not four miles distant: they, however, did not return, and, at nine o'clock at night, we heard firing to the north-east.

We answered by a similar signal, but they did not come in.
