refly at Hardy's Island all her stores and those
intended for the exploring parties were taken possession of by Captain
Norman, and were only supplied by him on requisition.

The following are the names of the members of Mr. Landsborough's party.

W. Landsborough, commander.
H.N. Campbell.
George Bourne.
W. Allison.
W. Gleeson.
Aboriginals: Charlie, Jemmy, Fisherman and Jackey.

Of these H.N. Campbell as assistant-commander, W. Allison, Jemmy, and
Fisherman accompanied Mr. Landsborough on his first or south-west
expedition. On his second or journey across the continent his party
consisted of: George Bourne as second in command; Gleeson as cook;
Fisherman, Jemmy, and Jackey. Messrs. Campbell, Allison, and Charlie
returned by the Victoria, Mr. Landsborough considering his equipment
inadequate to the supply of so large a party.

The camel found by Mr. Landsborough at the Darling was taken towards
Melbourne but was lost through the carelessness of Jackey. Jackey, on two
occasions on the Darling River, left for several days without leave,
which led Mr. Landsborough to tell him that he would not take him any
farther. This did not appear to vex him much for, without asking to be
taken on or promising to behave better in future, he immediately went and
hired himself to a settler in the neighbourhood. The rest of the party
reached Melbourne in safety. Jemmy and Fisherman, who had never been in a
city before, evinced no surprise at anything they saw. After a month's
residence in Melbourne they were forwarded by steamer to Brisbane.
Fisherman, before leaving Melbourne, lost his intelligence and was at
times quite insane; but it is to be hoped that as his bodily health was
good the sight of his native place will restore him to his right mind.)

The following letter, received by Captain Cadell from Mr. Neilson of
Neilson and Williams, two young men who have spent years in exploring the
Australian wilderness and who are now settled on the Warrego, gives some
additional information as to the discoveries of Landsborough's party:

Kennedy's 19th Camp, River Warrego, May 22 1862.

I have nothing to communicate but the arrival here yesterday of Mr.
Landsborough and party from the Gulf of Carpentaria, whence he left on
the 10th of February last in search of the traces of Burke's party. The
journey which he has now accomplished has opened up a practicable route
to the Gulf. He followed the Flinders from the Gulf on an averag
