We had saddled up the horses and
gone on again. just as we We're leaving

pointing to a distant rocky height
some three or four miles off, he cried:

And there, surely enough, rose a
tall, thin. white column Of smoke,
which broke into a series Of rings as it
ascended into that pale blue sky. 1t was
one Of those signal fires by which black
fellows communicate to one another at
a distance the fact that something un-
usual IS approaching.
But we were all too carelessly happy
to trouble about such things. Thanks TO
the light cool breeze, which argued that
we were getting into somewhat higher
ATTITUDES. we felt an exhilaration and
buoyancy of spirits that made us think
but little of such a contingency as our
party being attacked by blacks.
We came to a place where the river
ran through rather awkward gorge
but as the cliffs On either side were very
high and overhanging we had little to
fear from any hostile savages throwing
their spears down upon us.
Suddenly, however, it took a turn
Then, as if we had passed through a
gateway, it stopped abruptly, and we
passed, as it were, into another world.
We were in a great valley. We stood
in the arena of vast natural amphi-
theater AT first it seemed to me that if
some great landlocked arm of the sea
could have been, by any possibility,
dried up and its bed grassed and tim
bered it would have presented a some
what similar appearance, only it would
have wanted the many curious basaltic
and sandstone figures which were scat
tered aro1nd everywhere, crowning its
rugged heights We had passed as it
were, through Sydney heads and in
deed stood in the deep bed of what once
was a great natural harbor, in which
the blue waves Of old ocean had danced
and shimmered in the sunlight. far
above our heads. in the misty bygone

boy. Hers were those clearly cut and

have dyed her skin with some simple
decoction peculiar to the bush, to have
transformed that face as she did. |

covered his head with that ugly, gaudy

much as we had left them. The squat

stockmen, by name Mooney, had some
thing to tell He had been out on the
run up the river, when in a little pocket
in the main range he had heard the
chattering Of some blacks. On riding
up with his black boy he came right on
to a mob of these gentry who, having
run one of Mackenzie's bullocks into
this natural yard and speared it, were
cutting up and dividing the meat He
had fired upon them with fatal results
