couldn't find her. They
ran down hill but in a differ
ent course & later I saw her near
the river & shot her clean thru
the side. We found her with
difficulty by the blood.
She contained a large jellies
sea spotted with white & milk,
of few days birth. The
stomach contents was leaves
& grass only. We followed
the steep river side down
over some grass bounded cliff
where I saw 2 goats, at
150 yds I fired at them
but I missed both shots &
they escaped along the cliff
down the river. & then
returned to search for the
wounded mulga goat.
A car
turned down the mire for more
goats & shot one.
On
14th afternoon we moved
camp over the bridge
to the other village which
is nearer the goats haunt.
