they belonged to Turkestan and marked the
end of my long desert journey, and the con-
clusion of one great stage on the way to
India.
Our next march, however, was the most
trying of all, for we had to cross the branch of
the Gobi which is called the desert of Zungaria,
one of the most absolutely sterile parts of the
whole Gobi. We started at eleven in the
morning, passing at first through the low hills,
perfectly barren for the most part, though some
hollows had a few tufts of bushes, and one
hollow was filled with white roses. After
seven and a half miles we left the hills, and
entered a gravel plain covered with coarse
bushes, but no grass. There was no path, and
we simply headed straight for the end of the
Tian-shan range. Through the whole after-
noon we pressed wearily along. Sunset, and
still we did not halt, for there was no water
for many miles ahead. At last, near midnight,
we halted for a time over the plain to cook
some food and rest the camels. To pitch
camp was useless, for there was neither water,
fuel, nor grass ; not a bush, nor a plant, nor a
blade of grass absolutely nothing but gravel
