Onwards through the forest, through the forest onwards, through the forest onwards; we see no other water; the herbage is worthless.  We still go onwards, onwards through the forest.  We see natives; a few natives we see:  the men are two, the women one, the children two.  We see the place called Nowergup.

We say, “Where is there water? here the water is bad.”  The natives say, “Yonder the water is good, here it is bad:  at Boranyup the water is good.”

We go onwards, onwards, onwards:  at Boranyup we sleep; rain falls as we sleep at Boranyup.

6th day.

Onwards through the forest, onwards through the forest, onwards through the forest some of the others sit down; Auger sits down; Hunt sits down.  Mr. Roe, Mr. Spofforth, and I on horseback, go onwards, onwards, onwards, onwards, through the forest onwards, through the forest onwards, through the forest onwards, through the forest onwards.  We see the sea; then onwards, onwards, onwards; along the sea-shore onwards, along the sea-shore onwards, along the sea-shore onwards.  We see the tracks of white men.

Then we turn back again, away we go back again, back again away; through the forest away, through the forest away, through the forest away; back again.  We move, move, till we sit at Boranyup; we then eat kangaroo; Hunt and Auger had brought it in.  At Boranyup we lie down:  we sleep.

7th day.

The next day away, away, away, away, returning, returning, on our tracks returning, on our tracks returning, on our tracks returning.  At Barramba we sit down:  we eat bread and meat; they eat freshwater mussels; the natives eat not freshwater mussels.

Away, away, away, away, away; we see the water of Djunjup; we shoot game.  Away, away, away, through a forest away, through a forest away; we see no water.  Through a forest away; along our tracks away, along our tracks away, along our tracks away, along our tracks away.  We sleep at Ka-jil-up:  rain falls; the water here is good:  the horses feed, well did the horses feed.

8th day.

Away, away; along our tracks away, along our tracks away; hills ascending:  then pleasantly away, pleasantly away, away; through a forest away, through a forest away, through a forest away; we see a water—­the water of Goonmarrarup.  Along the river away, along the river away; a short distance along the river we go:  then away, away, away, through a forest away; a short distance through a forest we go.

Then along another river away, away; we cross the river; away, a short distance away.  At Neergammy we sleep, raising huts.

The others continue returning; we go away, away:  in the forest we see no water; we see no footsteps; we see some papers, the papers put by Mr. Mortimer we see:  still we go onwards, along the sea away, along the sea away, along the sea away:  through the bush away, through the bush away:  then along the sea away, along the sea away.  We see white men—­three of them we see; they cry out, “Where is water;” water we give them—­brandy and water we give them.  We sleep near the sea.
