Sturt first came upon the Barcoo in lat. 27° 44' S. , long. 140° 22' E.. And he turned back in lat. 27° 56' S. , long. 142° E. The waterholes which he saw in the distance were covered with wild fowl of all kinds. On the return march to Strzelecki's Creek the little party suffered as they had never suffered before. They were exposed to a furious hot wind as they slowly moved along. The ground they trod on was so hot that matches dropped immediately took fire. A thermometer marked to 127° burst f...rom the terrible heat, and the horses could scarcely be got to move on at all. They had to travel eighty-six miles without water. "When somewhat less than half that distance had been covered, some of the horses gave in. One of them was abandoned. Want of food now began to tell upon the explorers, and Sturt, ill as he was, hurried forward alone to the depot for assistance. When he got there the remainder of the party had gone away. They could not remain where they were because the little water that was left had become putrid.
