and Rahmat-ula-Khan went in, said we were
travelling to Kashgar, and asked for accom-
modation for the night. In this way I found
myself quartered in a tent with four old ladies,
one of whom was a great-grandmother, and the
youngest a grandmother. But their hospitality
was equal to their age, and we took a mutual
interest in each other. The tent was similar in
construction to the yurts of the Mongols, but
these Kirghiz seemed much better off than any
of the Mongols I had met, or than the Kirghiz
we afterwards saw on the Pamirs. They were
well clothed in long loose robes of stout cotton
cloth—generally striped—of Russian manu-
facture. Round the tents were piles of clothes
and bedding for the winter—good stout felts
and warm quilts; and rows of boxes to contain
the household goods and treasures. A small
portion of the tent was always partitioned off,
and there were kept the supplies of milk,
cream, and curds, which form the staple food
of the Kirghiz. On the whole, the tents were
clean and comfortable, and by living en famille
with these Kirghiz, I got to see a great deal
more of their customs and habits than I other-
wise should have done.
