14 .-- After sunrise the weather cleared up again.

All hands were now employed in shooting crows; which, with some cockatoos, and a small scrub wallabi, gave us several good messes.
Mr.Gilbert and Brown had, on their excursion, found a rushy lagoon on the left bank of the Isaacs, at a short half-mile from its junction with Hughs's Creek.

Here they encamped; and, about 10 o'clock at night, the loud voices of Blackfellows travelling down the river were heard; these also encamped at some small water-holes, not very distant from Mr.
Gilbert, of whose presence they were not aware.

Mr.Gilbert kept the horses tied up in case of any hostility; but was not molested.

The blacks continued their loud conversations during the greater part of the night; and Mr.Gilbert departed very early in the morning without being seen by them.
