| October | 20 | Made a long day's journey back to "Mt. Welcome" by about 8 p.m. |
| 21 | Returned home. Tucker had seen 14 head of cattle on lower run, while I was out, making 46 head out of 60, or more. I hope the natives have not speared any, but the long drought, & few hands give them a good chance; two men employed carting wool, & rails, & trimming latter. | |
