CHAP. VII.] HAMI TO KAS H GAR. 155
tion of my journey from Hami to Kashgar
stage by stage. Each was very like the other
with but little variation. At distances varying
from ten to twenty miles a small village on an
oasis would be met with, but all between was
barren gravel desert. Away on the right rose
the Tian-shan Mountains, but they were quite
bare and no snowy peaks were visible from the
road. To the left the desert extended without
limit.
The villages were generally small and the
number of ruined houses, betokening the strug-
gles which had lasted many years, was always
noticeable. Small dirty inns, usually kept by
Turkis, were to be found at each stage, but
the accommodation provided was not inviting,
and in preference I used as a rule to sleep on
a mattrass stretched out inside the waggon,
while my meals would be cooked by the side.
The weather was hot, the maximum ranging
from 9o° to 98° in the shade, but the air was
dry and healthy, the nights cool, the thermo-
meter falling to about 64°. Occasionally we
experienced a cooling thunderstorm which
freshened the air and laid the dust for a
time.
