On striking the Adelaide river Jungle, Williams saw plenty of buffalo. but his only weapon being a revolver he did not shoot any. He got down to the Adelaide river near what is known as Lawrie’s landing, where he built himself a raft of bamboo and crossed. He had not long gone south when a cyclone squall came on and blew the timber down all around him. He narrowly escaped death, but pluckily resumed his 230-mile walk till he reached Port Darwin.
