CH. II.] ENCAMP ON THE BOGAN. 179 



We accordingly proceeded towards the Bogan/ anxiously 

 hoping, that Mr. Cunningham would fall in with our line, 

 and rejoin the party in the course of the day. After pro- 

 ceeding due north eight miles, we came upon the bed of this 

 river ; but, before I could find water in it, I had to trace its 

 course some way up and down. We at length encamped 

 near a pond, and night advanced, but poor Mr. Cunningham 

 came not !
