Extract of a Ietter, dated Manero Plains,
"I have little news ; I can hear nothing that
is worth relating ; the races went off yesterday
pretty briskly, I understand - Haly's pony and
Burn's horse sweeping off the stakes. I pro-
mised to write something to you of Manero,
but that now is so far gone by, and you have
heard so much of it, that I am not aware of
knowing any thing of it that would be interest-
ing to you. It is too true that Dr Gibson's
man servant, having been lost in consequence
of the fall of a heavy snow-storm, must have
died ; his body has not yet been found, and
probably never will. The loss of horned cattle,
of Dr Gibson's and Mr Palmer's has been
very great; I may consider myself a fortunate
fellow, as I removed four hundred head of cat-
tle from a station near to Dr Gibson's and Mr
Palmer's, only one day before the storm fell ;
had I not got them off as I did, the whole must
have inevitably perished. I endangered the
lives of my brother, myself, and servant, in
consequence of travelling so far over those
mountains in search of a station for our stock
- (yon must recollect Mr Palmer's and my
station were on the Australian Alps) ; we were
on the highest of them, and had travelled
the greatest part of the day upon snow, from
nine to ten inches thick ; had tihe great snow
storm then fallen, our days were numbered -
we should have been buried in some of those
gullies filled with snow. I was in hopes of
getting off the snow, after a few hours' travel-
ling, but night coming on, we made a fire,
after much trouble from the sodden state of
the wood, and broke with our tomahawks and
rolled off, a square patch of frozen snow, and
sat down for the night ; we put our horses in a
swamp where there was a little, a very little
long grass, the tips of which appeared through
the snow ; in the morning it was difficult to
know the horses from the bushes that were
growing round us ; they were so covered with
snow frozen on them, that we had to make a
large fire to melt it off and warm the poor ani-
mals, before we could saddle the. When
here, we could observe a very detep ravine
falling to the westward, as far as the eye could
carry, at the bottom of which we could ob-
serve a river ; might not this be the source of
the Hume ? 'To the right anId l,-ft of this r.
