Continuing towards Mount Centre for eighteen miles, over a succession of salt lakes and very sandy hills and scrub, we reached a road making a little farther north, which was followed, and after travelling five miles came to Narlibby, and camped on most beautiful feed. 10th. After taking wrong roads and going a good deal out of our way, we reached Paney station and camped at the police-station.
Travelling towards Port Augusta, accompanied for half the distance by Police trooper O'Shanahan, from Paney station. 18th. Reached Port Augusta. Telegraphed to his Excellency Sir James Fergusson, informing him of our arrival. Camped five miles from Port Augusta, at a small township named Stirling. 19th. Received telegram from his Excellency Sir James Fergusson, congratulating us on our success.
On this news they discharged all their prisoners, and resolved to go in pursuit of the Manilla fleet. The 11th March they got into a labyrinth of islands, whence they knew not how to get out, but their Spanish pilot carried them safe through next day. The 14th they anchored all night before the island of Paney, by reason of the shoals; and on the 18th they sailed close past the island of Mindanao.
11th and 12th. Rested at Paney, as the horses were very tired, and there was splendid feed for them. Police-trooper Richards intends returning to-morrow to Fowler's Bay. He has given us every assistance in his power, and deserves our very sincere thanks for his kindness and attention. 13th to 17th.
