Text Appearing Before Image:
up ofruins, the precious bags of ice being carefully stacked closeto my tent in a place conspicuous and safe from poaching.Five camels were to march back to our half-way depot andto fetch supplies left there and such fresh ice as had beenbrought up since by the auxiliary donkey column. The main convoy of camels was to be taken north tothe salt springs of Altmish-bulak, in order to get a restand much-needed grazing there. Tokhta Akhun, who wasto guide them, had a year before accompanied Huntingtonon his plucky march to Altmish-bulak across the salt-encrusted old lake bed east of the Kara-koshun marshes.Having thence visited the two groups of Hedins ruins,he could be relied upon to find the nearest spring quickly.He estimated that even unladen it would take the camelstwo days to get there. He was subsequently after a shortrest to return himself with a camel to the western group ofruins, and to reconnoitre thence west and south-west forany other remains which might await exploration. 376
