Sent off our Baggage at 7 -- Breakfasted at 8 -- and set out on Horseback with Mrs. M. at 1/4 past 9 a.m. -- Halted for near an Hour in a deep Valley 8 miles from the Fish River to rest ourselves and Cattle -- and then pursued our Journey forwards. At 3/4 past 3 p.m. we arrived at Cox's River, after a tiresome and fatiguing Journey of 16 miles from the Fish River, over Clarence's Hilly Range, a very hilly rugged Tract of Country. We encamped in a pretty little Valley on the Left Bank of Cox's River, the Grass near our last Ground here being all burnt during our absence. We dined at 5 o'clock and spent the Evening as usual.
