Halt at
Kāshgar.
The great strain and fatigues that nearly two months' constant travel over exceptionally
difficult ground had entailed would alone have rendered some rest at Kāshgar imperative for my
party. But a stay there was rendered even more necessary by the manifold preparations, practical
as well as quasi-diplomatic, for the tasks awaiting me on Chinese ground. The facilities offered
by the hospitality of Chīnī-bāgh, now much enlarged and rebuilt in keeping with its new dignity
as H.B.M.'s Consulate General, made it possible to combine these labours with physical rest
for us all. But even thus the two busy weeks spent in Kāshgar would certainly not have sufficed
for all the heavy work which the organization of my caravan and other arrangements involved,
had not the ever helpful care and unfailing influence and provision of Sir George Macartney
aided my efforts in every direction.
Prepara-
tions for
desert
explora-
tions.
The rapidity of my movements since I left Kashmīr had been directly prompted by the wish
to secure a timely start for the explorations of the autumn and winter. I knew well from previous
experience the importance of securing suitable transport at the outset if this purpose and the success
of the operations in the desert were to be secured. I therefore felt special satisfaction when, as
a result of arrangements made months before, twelve fine camels arrived from far-off Keriya,
bred for desert work. They had been selected by Hassan Ākhūn in person, my experienced camel
factotum,¹ who was now about to embark on the third of our long expeditions into the ' sea of sand '.
Other faithful old Turkī followers also readily consented to take their place once more in my
caravan, as pony-men, &c.
Chinese
secretary
engaged.
It was equally necessary to provide myself with a competent Chinese secretary. I had been
delighted to see again at Kāshgar my devoted Chinese assistant and friend, Chiang Ssŭ-yeh,
whose efficient aid had constantly proved so valuable on my second journey.² He had well deserved
the reward of being appointed in 1908 Chinese Munshi at the Consulate General. Notwithstanding
that he held this comfortable berth, he would, I believe, have gladly rejoined me for another long
and trying journey, had not his increasing years and a serious aural affection warned me against
accepting the sacrifice and risks that such a step would have involved for him. Li Ssŭ-yeh, a young
man, weakly and shrivelled up, whom Chiang provided for the post of my camp literatus, came
like himself from Hu-nan, but turned out to be a poor substitute, as I had apprehended from the
first. But there was no other choice then at Kāshgar. Wholly absorbed in treating his ailments,
real and imaginary, with every quack medicine he could lay hold of, and taciturn and inert by
nature, Li was useless for the many scholarly as well as practical labours in which Chiang had
always been ready to engage with cheery energy and keen interest. We did whatever was possible
to spare poor Li Ssŭ-yeh all needless fatigue and exposure while travelling, and ordinarily he was
