MR. HUME'S TREE FOUND. I therefore looked along the riverbank for the tree in question, butwithout success. In crossing a dry watercourse some miles further on itoccurred to me that this might be the one at the mouth of which Mr. Humehad cut his name. I therefore sent overseer Burnett and The Doctor totrace the channel down, and to look for a tree so marked. They found atthe mouth of the creek a very large and remarkable gumtree, and on theside next the river the letters H. H. Appeared, althoug...h the cross-line ofone H had grown out. The letters seemed to have been cut with a tomahawk, and were about five inches in length. The men cut my initials also onthat tree, which to my regret I was prevented from seeing by a desire toattain a certain point with the party which I was consequently obliged tolead. We travelled for this purpose until after sunset, and then encampedat a distance of about a mile and a half to the southward of a bend ofthe Darling. CATARACT IN THE DARLING. Here the river formed a cataract of about two feet, falling over someargillaceous ironstone: and as the waters glittered in the moonlight Ilistened with awe to the unwonted murmur of this mysterious stream whichpoured through the heart of a desert, by its single channel, that elementso essential to the existence of all animals.
