(*Footnote. I may state here that, on the expedition to the south-west
when our party consisted of five, we started with ninety days' rations of
flour, beef, tea, and sugar, and five gallons of rum. These and the
rations, a list of which is given above, were all that were furnished for
the land expedition; and it was a source of much discouragement that my
requisition for tea, sugar, and rum for the journey across the continent
was not complied with, more especially as the allowance supplied at
Brisbane was very liberal, as the annexed list will show:
