THE LAST TREK   231

hills with a partly snow-clad range running north

and south to the west. It is the Mekong-Salween

divide. In it is the sacred mountain Ka-ga-bu,

which means " Snow White ". It is said to be 20,000 feet in height.

From here the path descended to Chia-pieh,

a village of eight families, mostly Tibetan. Its elevation is 7234 feet, and the distance from

Yang-tsa 12-i miles. The Tibetans of the lower

classes in these parts were very friendly, though

somewhat obsequious and timid. Most of them

met on the road-side would greet one by holding

out one or both hands. At night the Lama, having

lighted his sacrificial fire in the room which

Pereira was occupying, lay down by the door and

began mumbling his prayers.

A-tun-tzu was reached on August 30. The

country changed on this last stage. The hills were

wilder and were practically treeless. They had

on them only shrub, and only occasionally could

two or more houses with patches of cultivation be

seen. But the path was better and broader. A

mile west of Chia-pieh it led down to the Mekong valley at 7020 feet, and led up it for 3 miles, where

it left the Mekong and ascended the narrow Yung-

chu valley between bare hills, and at 16 miles

A-tun-tzu (in Tibetan Gyu) was reached. This was the 16th stage from Li-kiang-fu and the 37th

stage from Yunnan-fu.
