Wednesday 19. Decr.
Set out from our last Halting Place at 6 o'clock in the morning, crossing Cox's River at a very bad Ford for Wheel Carriages -- and thence pursued our Journey over "Clarence's Hilly-Range", we arrived at the Fish River at 3 p.m. Disce. 17 miles, and Encamped on our last beautiful Ground there, close to the River. ---It rained a little when we left our last Ground -- but it soon afterwards cleared up and turned out a very fine warm day. ---It proved very rough Travelling across Clarence's Hilly Range and tedious. One of the Baggage Carts upset coming down one of the Steep Hills, by which accident my pretty little Table with the Tea and Sugar Cannisters was broken to Pieces.---
We dined early, and we all took a very pleasant walk up the Left Bank of the Fish River after Dinner, going to Bed at 9 o'clock.---
