· · · · ·From. his camp along a· section of the great Overland Telegraph line he was setting out yet again in search of the elusive metal. With him was ari ·aboriginal, two large cattle dogs, and one ' 1yappa" (barking dog). In the area wher~ Stanley was bound for the Myal!s, reaf bush blackfellows resentful of the white man's intrusion, '";ere kno'"'TI. to be hostile.

Youth is the time for challange and Stanley laughed lightly ·as Old Timers spoke in foreboding. He knew well enough without the grim looks on their lined,' desert­dried faces that where he planned. to wander he \Vas deliberately taking his life in his hands. Still, with a shrewd native to act as in­terpreter, two dogs that could tear a man to pieces, the yappa to bark warning, a double-barrelled shot­gun to hurry up but not kill, and a rifle plus plenty of ammunition he was unafraid.

Then there were his two camels for reliable desert transport, one to- ride, one to carry the pack. Stanley felt quite able to take care of himself in the tightest corner. This, he was fully aware, might be any old time as he traversed deeper and deeper . into tht back country_ far from the ~white civil­isation's influence. As a day's camel trek is only about 15 miles he progressed slowly. The abo, of course, was walking, but such a day's walk mant nothing to his sinev.-y frame inured fz:om time immemorial in his ancestry to long distances of hard travel. Be-sides, such easy mOving allowed him time to gather game as he \Vent along, to seize_ the lizards, captllre the goannas, and Gig out the buckaroos that made such fine eating. · Even Stanley himself agreed "him betta fella" than chicken.
