undergrowth. Halted at 2.40 p.m. at Charch, a small hamlet on
the banks of a stream. There are ruined barracks here (140 li).
Started again at 6 p.m., joining another cart, also going to
Kuché. The country was like that which we passed over in
the morning, well covered with trees. At twenty miles we
passed a ruined house near some water. Halted at 3 a.m.,
at Yerum-kou (ninety li), a small village on a stream.
July 29.—We had an entire re-organization of the party
here. The carter of the cart accompanying us agreed to
come to India with me for six taels a month. He is young
and strong, and understands the management of ponies, so I
hope he will turn out useful.
The carter from Hami was turned off, and we took on
a Chinaman, who was returning to Kashgar. My boy now
told me that he had himself bought the cart and team at
Hami for 125 taels (£25).
The boy has sold the cart and team to the new carter for
eighty-two taels, promising him twenty taels if we get to
Kashgar in twenty days more.
Started at 3.25 p.m., passing over a desert till the cultivated
lands of Yang-sar are reached. These are of some extent,
reaching about eight miles from north to south, and some
five miles in width.
The village of Yang-sar is not large, but the whole country
is dotted with houses. The stream which waters the fields is
crossed by a good wooden bridge, and the road is lined with
trees.
July 30. — Started at 4.15 p.m. The cultivation ended
after two miles, and then the road became bad, and several
very awkward pieces of bog had to be crossed before we
reached Bu-yur. We arrived there at 12.10 p.m. (ninety li).
This is a somewhat larger oasis than Yang-sar, and the
village of Bu-yur contains two streets of shops. There are
also barracks here with about three hundred soldiers.
