Wrecked on the coast of one of the islands, and all attempts to save the ships having proved futile, the crews took to the boats, only to suffer death from drowning or at the hands of the savages. The guns and other heavy equipment were afterwards recovered, proving beyond doubt that that was the end of the French vessels and their unhappy commander-the Leichhardt of the sea.
Leichhardt was put in possession of the finding of the Victoria, the Maranoa, &c., and being anxious to examine the country between Sir Thomas Mitchell's track and his own, he, in company with Mr. Isaacs and three of his late companions, left Stuart Russell's station on a short excursion, during which he crossed to the Balonne and back, making some subordinate discoveries.
An eventful meeting Civilisation at last Rage and despair A white man's tracks Yamba's find Good Samaritans Bitter disappointment Bruno as guardian A heavy burden A strange invitation The mysterious monster "Come, and be our chief" I discover a half-caste girl The fate of Leichhardt "In the valley of the shadow" A sane white man Gibson is dying Vain efforts Unearthly voices.
Leichhardt is about to start another expedition to the Gulf, keeping to the westward of the coast ranges." The last item would be especially annoying, as it would indicate an intention of trespassing on Mitchell's then field of operation. On the 4th, the Surveyor-General started, intending to be away from the depot for at least four months.

The weight they could carry without injury and exhaustion, was very small in comparison with their known strength, not more than a hundred and fifty pounds, Dr Leichhardt found, for a constancy without the advantage of roads.
The course adopted by Leichhardt, although longer and more roundabout than that suggested from Fort Bourke, would be safer for his little band, keeping as it would, more to the well-watered coastal districts, and avoiding the constant separations entailed upon parties traversing the interior.
Unripe it is of a transparent white, but when mature, has a dark pink color and slightly acid taste. It is probably the euginia mentioned by Leichhardt. They were much annoyed by the green-tree ant, all the trees and shrubs being covered with them, in riding along they got about their persons, and down their backs, where they stuck like ticks.
The stream on which Carpentaria Downs station is situated was supposed to be the "Lynd" of Leichhardt and was so called and known; but as this was found to be an error, and that it was a tributary of the Gilbert, it will be distinguished by the name it subsequently received, the Einasleih.
Here he found a venerable old white man, who turned out to be Classen Leichhardt's brother-in-law and from him Hume learnt that the death of the leader and most of his party happened through a mutiny in the camp, Leichhardt being murdered, and the party then becoming disorganised and lost.
