had made his way to me in the Lop desert in a far more adventurous fashion.⁸ Among the many
letters, some close on five months old, which claimed my attention before we moved on, none was
more welcome than the latest from Sir George Macartney's hand. Sent off from Kāshgar on
Risk of January 23rd by Chinese post via Korla, it brought me the very reassuring news, based on tele-
official graphic information from the British Legation at Peking, that Sir John Jordan had succeeded

the Provincial Government at Urumchi to accord me favourable treatment and not to interfere
with 'archaeological surveys'. Thus, thanks to Sir George Macartney's ever-watchful care and
his prompt action in obtaining the effective help of H.B.M.'s Minister, the threatened obstruction,
from which only the 'revolutionary' trouble at Charkhlik had temporarily saved me, was finally
frustrated and the heaviest of the cares I had borne for two months removed.

explored in the Lop desert, Lāl Singh made an excursion into the high sands to the south-east.
He ascertained that the belt of mighty dunes seen from the caravan track all the way from Acchik-
bulak to Bēsh-toghrak was at this point formed by a succession of well-marked ridges or 'Dawāns'
running parallel to the direction of the valley and each rising to a height of about two hundred
feet above our camping place.
Sand This direction of the high sands is of distinct interest, as it accords with what I have repeatedly
'Dawāns' observed as regards the big accumulations of dunes or Dawāns in the Taklamakān and the Lop
parallel to
river-beds. desert, that they always range themselves parallel to the direction of the nearest river-beds, whether
these still carry water or are dry.⁹ It confirms the impression derived from the configuration of the
Bēsh-toghrak valley and from the facts noted about its hydrography and that of the Su-lo-ho basin
eastwards, viz. that the gradually narrowing eastern extension of the sea-bed which occupies most
of that valley represents the ancient estuary of the Su-lo-ho drainage which in a geologically recent
period emptied itself into the Lop Sea. We shall presently have occasion to recur to this supposition.
