a Timor pony, subsequently procured at Port Lin-

In addition to this expenditure, considerable as it 
was, there were very many things obtained from 
various sources, which though of great value did 
not come into the outlay already noted. Among 
these were two horses supplied by the Government, 
and three supplied by myself, making with the nine 
bought for £682. 10s, a total of fourteen horses.

and “ Waterwitch,” were furnished by the Govern-

many friends I received donations of books and in- 
struments, and I was myself enabled to supply from 
my own resources a portion of the harness, saddlery, 
tools, and tarpaulins, together with a light cart and 
a tent.
