CAMELS STARTING FOR DANDAN-UILIQ.
CHAPTER XVII
TO THE RUINS OF DANDAN-UILIQ
THE morning of the 7th December, a misty and bitterly cold day, saw our start for the winter campaign in the desert. My goal was Dandan-Uiliq, the ancient site I had decided upon for my first explorations. To reach it I chose the route via Tawakkel ; for though longer than the track leading straight into the desert north-east of Khotan which Turdi, my " treasure-seeking " guide, was in the habit of following, it somewhat reduced the extent of actual desert-marching with its inseparable privations for men and animals. The first day brought me, at Yangi-arik, to the edge of the cultivated area north of Khotan town. The next two days were passed in dreary marches along the barren left bank of the Yurung-kash, where there was nothing to be seen but sand-dunes to the west and reed-covered strips near the winding course of the river.
It was getting dark when we crossed on the evening of the third day to the right bank . and approached the southern end of the Tawakkel oasis. It was formed some sixty years ago by the construction of an irrigation channel, which takes off the river waters a few miles further south. It has since developed into a prosperous settlement estimated at some thousand households.
