If the French had not killed him, he ought to
have killed himself, and, as he had not done
so, he was ordered into exile for life to the
Mongolian border, and told to think himself
fortunate that he had not been executed. And
here the poor little gentleman was—very sore
against his own government, but lively and
cheery withal, and certainly most useful to me.

the bazaars, trying to get things which I
wanted, or to obtain information about the

On April 12 we passed through the Great
Wall, and entered what Marco Polo calls the
land of Gog and Magog. The gateway was
not imposing, consisting as it did merely of a
rough framework of wood, near which was a
low hut, in which dwelt a mandarin with
a small guard, and in front of which were
two small cannons fastened on to a piece of
timber. On either side were large gaps in
the wall—here only of mud—which carts or
anything else might pass through.

On the 14th, we emerged from the desolate
wind-swept valleys of the Yang-ho and entered
the broad, open plain of Mongolia proper.
