weather being very hot we could not go further: we had to return
the second day to the camp.

151. Then Mr. Wills went out by himself?--He went ninety miles; he
took McDonough with him and three camels.

155. And he lost one of his camels, did he not?--He lost the three
and returned on foot.

156. Was he much weakened by that journey?--Not Mr. Wills.

157. But McDonough was?--Rather.

158. Did they suffer from want of food as well as want of water?
--No, only from want of water.

159. How long did you remain after that before there was a final
start again?--I believe we started two or three days after that.
Mr. Wills went out a second time from that camp with King and only
two camels to bring down those things that he had left where he
lost the camels.

160. How far was that from the creek?--Ninety miles.

161. And he went out with King and two camels for the things that
he had left behind when he lost his camels and brought them back?
--Yes; and on the same day, or the day after, when Mr. Wills went
out on that second journey, Mr. Burke removed the depot to the
lower place.
