OCR Text
to *Charlung* which often is used by Chinese officials. Then follows again a wide
desolate space or *sai* to *Yaka-arik,* a large village irrigated by an *arik* from the
river. From this place there is no direct road to the mountains. *Yaka-arik* is
the common name of a group of villages, amongst others *Langar* and *Tokmakla.*
The large irrigation canal continues to *Kok-rabat.*
To the last-mentioned village we had, the next day, a ride of 19.8 km. to
the north and N. W. The ground falls 71 m. or to 1,293 m.; a rate of 1:279.
The entire distance takes us through villages, of which *Choglik* and *Sai-langar*
are the largest. Before reaching *Kok-rabat* we enter the great caravan-road from
*Yarkand* to *Kashgar.* Here we were on well-known tracks, and I will only mention
the names of the places we passed during the last four days from *Kok-rabat* to
*Kashgar,* September 30th: the ruins of *Abdullah-Khan-rabat, Ak-rabat,* with a
well 36.3 m. deep and a constant temperature of 15.5°; *Ötekchi,* an abandoned rest
house; *Kisil,* a village — its only road to *Sarikol* runs by *Igis-yar,* the same I have
described above. At *Kisil* and several other places on this road I was told that
the prevailing wind in summer came from the N. W. and often was very strong,
whereas nearly no wind blew in winter. A ruined place below *Kisil* is called
*Teter-mesjid.*
October 1st we passed through the villages *Kuduk, Kosh-gombaz, Toplok*
and *Kelpin;* and camped in the village of *Karavash,* belonging to *Yangi-hisar.*
Just south of the village is a large river-bed with a dam forcing the water to flow
by a canal at the left bank. The river then runs to the villages *Khoja-arik, Mangshin,
Sagan* and *Momoluk,* from which a road goes to *Ordan-Padshah* and *Hasret-
Begim.* The water of the river-bed was said to come from the valley *Kampan,*
inhabited by Kipchak Kirgizes, and to pass by *Lai-bulak* and *Kaghui.* The water
of *Yangi-hisar* itself comes from *Khan-terek.*
October 2nd we continued by *Seidlar* and *Sogoluk* to *Yapchan,* and the last
day by *Tasgun* and *Yangi-shahr* to *Kashgar.* Our road from *Kok-rabat* to *Kashgar*
was 142 km. in length. In Yakub Bek's time the distance between *Yarkand* and
*Kashgar* was reckoned as 27 *tash,* now it is 54 Chinese *potai.*
The whole journey from *Kashgar* through *Eastern Pamir* and back to *Kashgar*
was 1,241.5 km. in length.
