second camp, which had meanwhile ( 091 ) been hastily abandoned by its inhabitants except for two young people, one of whom was Kunamunko, an old woman and two children. Three local dogs and several net bags were seen, which seemed to belong to the refugees.

We saddled up that morning as day broke, hoping to reach Port Lincoln before night if possible, but we were delayed for over an hour by the carelessness of Barnett, who let his horse run away. From here only Ngulga accompanied us to the Palanna spring, where we had lunch and let our horses graze for 1 1/2 hours. From here we rode at a steady trot, so that Ngulga was only able to catch up with us in Talalla. We were home half an hour before sunset. Overall, this trip was not entirely fruitless for me, but I would never want to travel with such company again.

The day after my arrival from Coffin Bay I discovered that the four young natives, Ngarraki*, Wingalta, Kanyokalendi ( 092 ) and Muwdna, who remained behind when we left, had opened a poorly fortified window in my house and again stolen flour.

Ngulga stayed in the city until that day and promised to stay with me that night and to take me with him to his friends the next day. But when I fulfilled the condition of this promise, namely gave him a piece of bread, he sneaked away.

The natives stole from Gawler Pond sheep farm, supposedly, two days in a row.

August 1st, 1841. Sunday.
Munta and Kunga*, the latter for the first time, came to the city from Punnindi and Kunamunko from Tananna*. However, they were very lazy, didn't want to eat rice, but wanted bread, and went away the next day, supposedly to spear wallaby and come back in the evening, but I suspect that they all went to Tananna.

Disheartened and tired of my inactivity, which I have been reduced to by the absence of the natives, I went to Sleaford Bay today to see if I might like to meet my ( 093 ) friends there. But on the same road I met a man who told me that the natives had all left Sleaford Bay.

August 21st, 1841.
Munta and Kunga returned that day; Some of them were in Sleaford Bay and some were in Ngalatta*.
