the blacks had stolen a dead, hung sheep from Gawlerpond Station(099), and that the following night they had disturbed the dogs.

God, where will this end if the natives continue like this?

February 20th, 1841. Saturday.
Five natives came to me, two of whom, Wingalta* and Kangokalendi*, had already left on Monday, and two others, Punalta and Ngulgalta, had left again after a few days; Yutalta stayed with me alone this time. March 4th, 1841.
Yutalta went away again today, and it is hardly to be expected that he will come back soon, since Gottfried found in his pocket one of our table knives, which we had been missing for a long time ( 074 ) and which he said that Yaltawinni* had taken. How sad that a person like this, open and pleasant, should be so vile after a long acquaintance and many benefits from me.

Lord, my teacher and my guide, who placed me in my difficult office, teach me patience, gentleness and wise, steadfast severity in dealing with this deeply sunken people.

I went to the interior, accompanied by Yutalta, to visit the various stations and learn their names in the native language. We slept the first night in Mr. Winter's tents at Punnindi*, went the next morning to Talalla*, and the next day to Pillaworta* [Driver's Station], where we spent a day. We stayed only one night at Newenham in Tolilye* and returned via Kattabidni* [Brown's Station] on March 25th.

March 30th, 1841.
A number of 12 natives came to the settlement, who were joined by two others the following day. ( 075 ) Some of them were still unknown to me, as Wondalta*, Mimmi*, Milli*, etc. There were 4-5 boys there, they behaved well until the trigger, when one of them, probably Wondalta, forcibly took some pairs of pants from the woman at the spring in Happy Valley. The police, accompanied by Yutalta and a few other natives, immediately followed them, but the latter led them by the nose by leaving them when they were close to the natives' whereabouts.

April 2nd, 1841.
I went to Mr. Matthew Smith's house, which I had rented at the price of 7sh. a week.
