other horses, having been trampled down during the wreck.

Thursday November 28. Camp Number 11, situated on the Gregory River.

Mr. Allison and I made from time to time observations of the sun and
stars; but as the sextant, which had been injured at the wreck of a brig,
was out of order, we had no confidence in those observations, and have
not preserved them. From Camp Mount Kay, a hill confining the river
closely on the left bank, about one mile and a half distant (looks about
three miles) bore 119 degrees; another hill about two miles distant bore
28 degrees; and another, two miles, bore 312 degrees; also a hill forming
the south end of the gorge of the river, about one mile distant up the
river 249 degrees. There is marjoram in abundance at the camp; but that
is hardly worthy of remark as it is very common all up the river from the
commencement of the high grounds. We were detained this morning as I had
a shoe to put on one of the horses and other things to do. At 9.20 a.m.
Messrs. Campbell, Allison, and Jemmy started up the river, and Fisherman
and I started to look for a river from the southward. At 10.5, after
having crossed the river, we made one mile and three-quarters
south-south-west over rising ground, of the richest soil with hardly a
tree upon it, to the foot of the ranges, at which place Mount Kay bore 56
degrees; the hill, probably, with the cairn on the top, 53 degrees; the
ranges bearing 68 to 71 degrees, which I think are on the right bank of a
watercourse we found soon afterwards, which I named the O'Shanassy River,
just above its junction with the Gregory River. A table hill, about a
mile distant 92 degrees. At 10.50 we made half a mile south-south-west to
the top of a range which has a basaltic stony character. From it we
observed that we were 327 degrees from a distant long-topped table hill.
Having got into broken country I depended too much on Fisherman to take
me out of it into the next valley, but he took me on to the river at a
