SIMMONDS’S  

COLONIAL MAGAZINE.  

PROGRESS OF DISCOVERY IN AUSTRALIA  

CAPT. STURT'S EXPEDITION.  

[By late arrivals from South Australia, we have been put in possession  

of the following important Despatches from Capt. Sturt, reporting the  

progress of the exploring Expedition under his charge, and announcing  

the death of Mr. James Poole, second in command of the party.]  

At the Depot, in Longitude 141. 30. East;  

Latitude 29. 40. 12. South.  

June sth, 1845.  

Sir, â€”Circumstances which shall presently detail to you for His  

Excellency’s information having rendered it necessary for me to send  

third of my men back to Adelaide, avail myself of the opportunity  

thus afforded me of forwarding to the Right Honourable the Secretary  

of State, through His Excellency, copy of my Journal up to the end  

of March, together with map and an explanatory despatch. also  

forward collections of the different seeds, birds, and geological speci-  

mens, that have been secured by the Expedition to this date. Not  

having the means of packing these things as they should be packed,  

should feel obliged if His Excellency will give the necessary orders  

for their being examined and secured, prior to transmission to England.  

My despatch to Lord Stanley having been written with view to call  

His Lordship’s attention to several parts of my Journal, and to explain  

more fully than could otherwise have done the circumstances in which  

am placed, and the grounds on which have thought it expedient to  

adopt the measures have done, it remains for me to report, through  

you, to His Excellency, for the further information of the Secretary of  

State, the progress of the Expedition under my command since last  

addressed you.  

believe that in my letter of the 17th of October, 1844, reported  

that had passed along the Darling without any rupture with the  

natives, and that the reports had heard at Lake Victoria of the mas-  

sacre of party of Europeans had proved incorrect, the whole story  

having been based on Major Mitchell’s rupture with the natives in  

1836. also reported that was about to leave the camp on an excur-  

sion to the north-west, to examine the country seen by Mr. Poole.  

accordingly left Cawndilla, to which place had moved the camp from  

the junction of the Williorara with the Darling, on the 21st of the  

VOL. VII. NO. 27. MARCH, 1846.
