Text Appearing Before Image: ings from Muhamed Isa, whosent word that all was well with the caravan ; they wereon friendly terms with the authorities, and were permittedto buy all they required. We set off again northwards and marched through theTakbur valley, where there was abundance of game—hares,pheasants, and partridges—some of which Tsering shot, andfoxes, marmots, and field-mice. In the distance we saw agrey prowling animal which we took for a lynx. There werealso kiangs, which seemed very unconcerned. North-west,north, and north-east huge snowy mountains were seenfrom the Takbur-la (16,621 feet), of which Ryder and Woodhad taken bearings. Like those Englishmen, I consideredit certain that these peaks lay on the watershed of theTsangpo, and belonged to the crest of the Trans-Himalaya.I had afterwards an opportunity of proving that this was amistake.

Then we too passed across the plain. On the leftstood four tents, where the sheep were being driven intothe fold for the night. At one place the road divides ;travellers who have nothing to do in Saka-dzong take thesouthern road. We cross the Sa-chu river and the over-flow of a spring ; there is a strong wind from the west, andwe long for the tents and the warmth of the camp-fires.At last we are there.
