Arrived at Greenock. Visited madam the gracious post-mistress, and obtained her signature. Prized, because it is the first in a lady's hand in the book. Then on to Kapunda. Undulating country, with good riding all the way. Arrived about 6 o'clock—hungry.

This afternoon I met a cyclist seated in a spring dray, steadying his machine with one hand and himself with the other. They were noisily approaching at a jig-jog. We stopped.

"Good-day!"

"Good-day!"

"Accident?" I asked.

"No—only this is less like graft. And where are you bound for?"

"Head of the line if all goes well!"

"Oodnadatta?"
