We halted for a couple of hours by the roadside to ease the
camels, and then set out again. At eight o'clock the desert
ended, and we began to pass through cultivated land, and at
last we saw Hami in the distance, and after traversing a tract of
country covered with more ruined than inhabited houses, we
reached an inn at 11 a.m., and it was with unspeakable relief
that I dismounted from my camel for the last time.
My desert journey was now over, and I had accomplished
the 1255 miles from Kwei-hwa-cheng in just seventy days; in
the last week of which I had travelled 224 miles, including the
crossing of the Tian-shan Mountains.
