84 PEKING TO LHASA
Snow fell during the night of February 6, but it
nearly all melted by noon, except at the tops of
the highest hills, and the day was sunny though
the wind was cold.
One of Pereira's muleteers slipped and fell,
but as he writhed on the ground rubbing his
ankle the only consolation he received from the
other muleteers was a roar of laughter. The
sight of pain gives the Chinese infinite amusement.
Before reaching Sung-pan, 9750 feet, on Feb-
ruary 8, he for the first time passed several
Tibetans. Sung-pan itself Pereira found to be
an interesting city with a good many wild-looking
Tibetans walking about the main streets. It is
113 miles from Mowchow and 212* miles from
Kwan-hsien. It lies on low ground on the eastern
side, but on the west a wall runs up to a height
of 600 feet. A sloping ledge about 300 feet
high holds a few houses and the Ch'eng-huang
temple —a poor building, but affording a good
view over the town. The main north and south
street contained all the shops and was always
crowded. But the few side streets were very
dead.
The magistrate sent Pereira a present of a " pai-
mu-chi ", a large bird of the bustard family, and
a hunk of beef. The bird was dried and coal
black, and after giving the runner who brought
it a dollar, Pereira handed the delicacy to his
boys. The magistrate also sent a guard, and two
sentries mounted over his door much enhanced
his dignity.
Continuing northward up the valley he left
Sung-pan on February 11. The going was good
