We gained Yass Plains on the 12th, having struck through the mountain passes by a direct line, instead of returning by our old route near Underaliga. As the party was crossing the plains I rode to see Mr. O'Brien, but did not find him at home. While waiting at his hut, one of the stockmen pointed out two blacks to me at a little distance from us. The one was standing, the other sitting.
"I say," continued the stranger, "the mistake's been made. Three mistakes have been made!" "Yass!" roared Chat-oué, leaping to his feet and turning upon the assemblage a face fierce with triumph.

"How are we going to get home?
De cane was wave in de wind, de garden smell like a bouquet, de white-cap was jump up and down on de river; seven belles demoiselles was ridin' on horses. 'Pritty, pritty, pritty! says old Charlie.
