The third division seems to have followed along the bottom of the Gulf of Carpentaria to its most south-easterly bight, and then to have turned off by the first practicable line in a direction towards Fort Bourke, upon the Darling.
King William's Island lies in the latitude of 21 minutes south, and may be seen distinctly off Cape Mabo. In the evening we passed by Cape Mabo; and afterwards steered away south- east half-east, keeping along the shore, which here trends south-easterly. The next morning, seeing a large opening in the land, with an island near the south side; I stood in, thinking to anchor there.
I should very much have liked to catch him; he would make two or three good meals for both of us. Occasionally we got a glimpse of the Sugar-loaf.

'It is not unusual, said Colney. At eleven o'clock he was in London, and Nesta rode beside Mrs. Marsett amid the troop. A South-easterly wind blew the waters to shifty goldleaf prints of brilliance under the sun. 'I took a liberty this morning, I called you "Dear" this morning, the lady said. 'It's what I feel, only I have no right to blurt out everything I feel, and I was ashamed.
