I trust however that a wiser line of policy will now be pursued, and that settling will consequently become an easier, less dangerous, and far more agreeable task.
ROUTE ALONG MR.

ELLIOTT'S TRACKS.

TRACKING MR.

ELLIOTT.
On the morning of the 16th Mr.Walker went to the Upper Williams, where the soldiers were quartered, for a further supply of provisions, whilst the native and myself tried to make off Mr.Elliott's tracks, in doing which we were not however successful.

The next morning, previously to Mr.
Walker's return, I renewed my search with Kaiber for the tracks with a little more success, as amidst the numerous traces of cattle and horses along the bed of the river the native was able by his acute eye to discover the footsteps of a colt.
