CHAPTER 10
14/16

It lies close to the Glenelg and Prince Regent's River, two large navigable streams; and I have already declared my opinion that I have never seen a richer tract of country than the extensive alluvial and basaltic districts in the neighbourhood of the Glenelg, and under the rare circumstance of lying between two navigable rivers which are separated from each other by so short an interval.
PREPARATIONS FOR REEMBARKING.
Soon after Mr.Stokes's arrival I started for the Lynher, and the next morning repaired on shore.

During my absence on board the Beagle fourteen natives had made their appearance near the encampment on the cliffs above the valley; they appeared however to have been solely attracted from motives of curiosity and a desire to visit our former huts.

From the fearful disposition which had hitherto been evinced by the natives of these parts it was necessary however that every precaution should be observed.

This was most carefully done by Mr.Lushington; and as soon as the natives saw that they were watched they moved off and were not again observed, although the smokes of their fires were visible in several points.
On the 17th we commenced our preparations for leaving this part of the coast.

The stores remaining were all carried on board.
