temple and curious high square Tibetan towers.
On the corners at the top of the houses were
white stones, perhaps the same as the sacred
white stones worshipped by the aborigines farther
north near Li-fan T'ung.
Changing his transport to carriers, both men
and women, he travelled the next day to Tung-ku, 8730 feet. The going was very rocky and stony
and the stream flowed through a deep, narrow
gorge in a succession of cascades. Tung-ku was
a mixed village of Chinese and Tibetans. The
Tibetan storied buildings with towers, some in the
village and some perched high on the hill-side,
give it a picturesque appearance. The Tibetans
Pereira found to be quite friendly. They came
out to meet him, and went down on their knees
bowing low ; and an interested but quiet crowd
watched him writing in his room.
Continuing down the Tung-ku valley, which
was mostly stony and deep cut, he passed more
small villages and houses, and reached Tanpa, 7450 feet and 107 miles from Ta-chien-lu, on
January 13 and put up in a small Chinese inn.
It is a Hsien city of 150 Chinese families—a
straggling little town shut in on all sides by bare
mountains. The Tibetans live on the hills outside.
There are over three hundred Catholics in and near
Tanpa. They were under the charge of Père
Hsiung Te-lung, whom Pereira believed to be the
only Tibetan priest (Catholic) in the world. He
had been a priest for over thirty years and was
a nice old man of sixty-six. He had a very bad
opinion of Lamas.
