19 .-- During the night, north-easterly breeze; at the break of day, a perfect calm; after sunset easterly winds again.

Thermometer at sunrise 51 degrees (60 degrees in the water); a cloudless sky.

Mr.Hodgson and Charley, whom I had sent to seek John and Caleb, returned to the camp with a kangaroo.

I sent them immediately off again, with Mr.Roper, to find the two unfortunate people, whose absence gave me the greatest anxiety.

Mr.Roper and Mr.Gilbert had brought one pigeon and one duck, as a day's sport; which, with the kangaroo, gave us a good and desirable supper of animal food.
