had been reached. For the rest of the way I
should be, so to speak, on my return. Kashgar
was well known, too, from the Indian side, and
there was a Russian consul stationed there.
So when I reached the place I appeared to
have arrived again on the fringes of civilisa-
tion.
Passing through the native town, we put up
at an inn on the southern side. I sent my card
and passport to the yamen, and very shortly
afterwards the Afghan Aksakal and a number
of Indian traders came to see me. These
Aksakals are men selected by the Chinese from
among the traders of each country as their
representatives. They are responsible for re-
porting any new arrivals, and all dealings with
their countrymen are carried on by the Chinese
through them. They correspond to a certain
extent to consuls, and perform some of the
functions of a consul, but they are appointed
and removed at the pleasure of the Chinese.
This Afghan Aksakal, though he was after-
wards suspected of having sheltered the mur-
derer of Mr. Dalgleish (to whom I will refer
presently), and had to leave Kashgar, made
himself most useful, and greatly impressed me.
