Meston tends two Aborigines severely wounded by stingaree spears and holds discussions with local clans. He compares west-coast Cape York oysters with those of the east coast and claims that the junction of the Hey and Embley Rivers is one of the finest harbours in Australia. He shoots a crocodile, range 400 yards, to the applause of onlookers.
