There were several young men swimming near the regular crossing and it is presumed they waited for the young men to depart before re-crossing the river. The crossing was usually made on a long gravel bar the width of the wagon where the water was shallow. The deep swimming hole bordered the gravel bar. This is where the horse, cart and four young people drowned. Around 11:00 family members became concerned about their absence. Initially it was thought that darkness had forced them to overnight at one of the local ranches. Two men rode to all the nearby ranches to make inquiries. Two men had heard screams at the time of the accident and rushed to the water's edge. They searched the area, waded across the river, and finding nothing for 200 yards in either direction concluded that the cries they had heard had come from an aboriginal encampment near the stable they were working at. A search party was organized and 3 of the bodies were covered the day after the tragedy.
