“ Moved this morning to the junction of the Vasse with the broad expanse of the inlet; took some refreshment of Perch newly caught; they were excellent in quality, and large in Size. After breakfast we followed the line of the Inlet to a Small River; in our course, arrived at the Southern outlet of the River; 3⁄4 of a mile further, made the 2nd outlet, forded both these, and continued along the bay for 3 miles, then turned inland, and reached at our bivouac at 5 o'clock. ”

“ Some large trees occasionally interspersed; arrived at the sand flat and followed an inlet for about 500 yards which terminated in a large track of Swampy land with the indication of two Small Streams, containing pools of fresh water; returned to our Bivouac which we reached about 2 o'clock. ”

“ At 6 we made a movement ENE for 4 miles and came in contact with a Small river; we took a northerly course; and passed through in the early part a Sandy forest country, latterly more open; I found the Convolvulus amidst some luxuriant herbage; at a Short distance arrived on the banks of a river flowing NW, abour 30 yards wide. ”
