RECORDS OF THE ,JOURNEY
The Tung Ling of Khotan with his two children and some guards. His insignia of office are displayed on the table. The photograph was taken in the Tung Ling's
tent during drill in
my honour.
»tchin ping», in full uniform, he had himself photographed sitting in a tent with the insignia of his rank on a table by his side. The entire garrison, 3 officers and 104 men, stood in the square in front of the old man's tent with rifles (muzzle-loaders) and fixed bayonets. It was a sight fit for the gods.
