which, mostly slate or chalk, looked as if cut by some
former glacier. The track kept to the narrow boulder-filled
bed of a stream, and was in many places very difficult for

12,400 feet we pitched camp, this time in a more compact
formation. Our Chinese, in addition to all their other fears,
were now getting apprehensive of 'wild Tibetans'; and as
Kozloff appears to have met with Tangut encampments at
the head of the Su-lo Ho valley, it seemed wise to keep a
look-out for these pilfering nomads. No humans came to
disturb our peace, nor did we see traces of any until eight
days after. But as Chiang reported later, all the Chinese
were disturbed that night by the sound of—dragons!
