After the wreck of a Firefly at Hardy's Island all her stores and those
intended for the exploring parties were taken possession of by Captain
Norman, and were only supplied by him on requisition.

The following are the names of the members of Mr. Landsborough's party.

W. Landsborough, commander.
H.N. Campbell.
George Bourne.
W. Allison.
W. Gleeson.
Aboriginals: Charlie, Jemmy, Fisherman and Jackey.

Of these H.N. Campbell as assistant-commander, W. Allison, Jemmy, and
Fisherman accompanied Mr. Landsborough on his first or south-west
expedition. On his second or journey across the continent his party
consisted of: George Bourne as second in command; Gleeson as cook;
Fisherman, Jemmy, and Jackey. Messrs. Campbell, Allison, and Charlie
returned by the Victoria, Mr. Landsborough considering his equipment
inadequate to the supply of so large a party.
