208 AMONG THE CELESTIALS. [CHAP. VIII.
a way. By the next morning we had succeeded
in making a narrow pathway round the cliff.
The loads were first carried over this ; then
the ponies were carefully led along, till at last
the whole party was safely conveyed to the
other side of this formidable obstacle.
A short distance below, on the left bank of
the Yarkand River, we struck a tributary named
the Surakwat, up which led the route to the
Mustagh Pass, so we here left the valley of the
Yarkand River. For a few hundred yards
above the junction the Surakwat flows through
a very narrow gorge, which the stream fills up
completely, and through this gorge the guide
now led us, though I found, in 1889, that a
much better road led over the top. The
boulders over which the torrent dashed were
covered with ice, and it was cruel work taking
the ponies up. They were constantly slipping
and falling back, cutting their hocks and knees
to pieces. But we got them through without
accident, and emerged on to a wide plain,
evidently the bed of a lake, which must
have been formed by the rocky obstacle
we had passed through before the stream
had cut its way down to its present level
