CHAPTER XL1I.
A-K-, BONVALOT, ROCKHILL, AND OTHER TRAVELLERS
IN THE EAST.
A few words have to be said of the travellers who in the latter half and towards the end of the 19th century crossed the eastern continuation of the Northern Kara-korum, 1. e. the Tang-la System, famous ever since Huc's days.
In Vol. III I have already mentioned the celebrated Pundit A—K—, or KRISHNA and his journey 1878-1882 when he crossed the eastern part of the Nien-chentang-la in the Shang-shung Pass. The highest pass he crossed was on the Tang-la Range or Dang-la as he calls it, being 16,40o feet high and constituting the water-parting between the upper basins of the Yang-tse-kiang and the Mekong.' On the map the Tang-la Range runs, just south of 33° North. lat., nearly dùe eastward to 97° East long. or the vicinity of the Di-chu River. This is just south of Kegudo where Dutreuil de Rhins was murdered some 13 years later.
In August 1881 the travellers left Sachu , and retracing their footsteps crossed the continuation of the Kuen Lun range by a more easterly route than that they had previously taken, and found themselves on the Tibetan plateau, close by the sources of the Hoang-ho, which were afterwards visited by Prshevalsky on his last journey in 1884-85. They crossed the Ma-chu , as the upper waters of the Hoang Ho are here called, and travelled southwards by a lonely, uninhabited route leading across the Di-chu or Upper Yang-tse-kiang to Kegudo, which is a place of trade. 2
A—K—S journey is one of the most brilliant ever undertaken in these regions. However, the geographical facts he brought back were meager and not always reliable.
