CONTINUATION OF THE JOURNAL OF W. LANDSBOROUGH, COMMANDER OF THE PARTY
ORGANISED AT BRISBANE, TO SEARCH FROM THE ALBERT RIVER, GULF OF
CARPENTARIA, FOR BURKE'S PARTY.

February 4 1862.

Since the 19th ultimo, the date of my arrival at the depot from the
expedition to the south-west, I have been in constant expectation of a
boat from H.M.C.S. Victoria. Late this evening I was glad to welcome the
arrival of Lieutenant Gascoyne. The news he gave us of the death of Mr.

to the Victoria I availed myself of it, and had a pleasant sail down the
river and a short distance out to sea to where the vessel was stationed.
We arrived late in the evening and had the pleasure of meeting Captain

Today I had the good fortune to get Lieutenant Woods to assist me with my
work. He made a beautiful tracing from the sketch I had made to show my
route to the south-west. The sketch was made solely by dead reckoning. I
wanted to take notes from Mr. Walker's journal and chart of his route
from Rockhampton, but as he had told Captain Norman that no one was to be
allowed to do so, I was not permitted to make them. Having agreed with
Captain Norman to return to the depot tomorrow I was, having letters to
write and preparations to make for the next expedition, in a continual
bustle.

February 7.

I returned with Lieutenant Gascoyne to the Albert River depot.

February 8.

This was a busy day as we knew we were to abandon the depot in the
evening. By the assistance of Lieutenant Gascoyne and some of his men,
with two boats, we pulled the horses across the river. In the evening, as
soon as Messrs. Campbell and Wilson had hurriedly finished a copy for
Captain Norman of the notes I had made in my memorandum-book when on the
expedition to the south-west, the Firefly hulk was abandoned. Those of my
party I could
