and I caught six fish some gropers
which made a great noise when
caught, one long snouted silvery fish
like a guard fish and some perch.
They were all relished.

Saturday.

Left camp at 8.30 travelled
till 1 pm over very bad cover
went down steep hill into valley & see
where the fording place was a very
bad one greasy sheloy rocks on
which the horses slipped & fell
heavily, my mare going down 3 times,
Durack's the same. Some things
were wetted. In all we went only
about 1 1/2 or 2 miles on our real
road.

Durack & Kilfoyle now seem to be lost in recounting and throwing out
hints and remarks but I make no reply as since they have chosen to take
everything upon themselves they must go through with it. They won't listen but now
find themselves incapable of doing the work. Durack takes us into the most unnecessary hardships
