I sent Mr.Hodgson and Charley to bring them back.

If they had simply given the bridle to their horses, they would have brought them back without delay; but probably both got bewildered.
The latitude of this lagoon, which I called Kent's Lagoon, after F.Kent, Esq., is 26 degrees 42 minutes 30 seconds.

We tried to obtain opossums, during the clear moonlight night, but only caught the common rabbit-rat.
Our horses go right into the scrub, to get rid of the little flies, which torment them.

The weather is very fair; the regular westerly breeze, during the day, is setting in again: the dew is very abundant during clear nights: the morning very cold; the water of the lagoon 8 degrees to 10 degrees warmer than the air.
We have regularly balanced our loads, and made up every bag of flour to the weight of 120 pounds: of these we have eight, which are to be carried by four bullocks.

The chocolate and the gelatine are very acceptable at present, as so little animal food can be obtained.
