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.
