Sunday, 17th April, Same Place
Still neither horses nor men. At 1.30 they arrived; my men had gone over to the range, and had searched every creek, but without success. When found, the runaway animals were standing on a rise looking very miserable and at a loss what to do; they had skirted the hill as far down as Mount Delusion. The men took them to the last water, remained there through the night, and left for this place this morning. I will give them an hour’s rest, and go to the springs to-night. Arrived at the springs at sundown; they are about nine miles from Decoy Hill.
