116 PEKING TO LHASA
Pass, 12,820 feet. The descent was rather steep
among grass hills to the broad valley of the
Ta-ch'i, a branch of the Ta Ho. On the west
was the Za-Lung range. At 15 miles he forded
the stony bed of the Ta-ch'i, here 2 feet deep,
and 5 miles farther on left this valley and

Snow fell that night and on May 25 Pereira had

and had to march 19 miles. Consequently one
mule collapsed and died in the night. Another
