30 a. M. A light glimmered somewhere amid the outer darkness, and I stumbled towards it at a venture. Fortune favoured, for the guiding star shone from a boarding-house window, and vigorous knocking brought a response and a lodg- ing for the night. I had letters of introduction to a skilled bush- man, but he was far away, a hundred miles or more, and I was cast on my own resources. But not for long. I found friends who offered their services. A local tradesman drove me out to Tiega, on the line... to Murrayville; the schoolmaster went roaming with me on Saturday, and with the Crown Lands bailiff I made a memorable trip. For Mallee people, hospi- tality to strangers seems to be a pleasant duty. Now, my chief desire was to see the Mallee-Fowl [Leipoa ocellata'] and examine its nesting mound. Of the shy bird itself I did not obtain even a glimpse, and several days elapsed before a "good" mound was located. "There's a mound down on Jim's block, " was the welcome news brought by a boy one morning; and to Jim's selection I went accordingly.
