Adventure, sport and travel on the Tibetan steppes . eye to eye with them, but what they do they believe tobe for the best interests of the cause they represent. More organisation would appear to be needed in somedirections. What great things might be accomplished ifEngland would carry on mission work with as much enthusiasmas she carries on a war or builds battleships. From Lanchow he took mules via Tsinchow, and passing(11243) 51 ^ ^ Sport and Travel on the Tibetan Steppes. through a rough rocky country joined the Kiahng Riverat Peishuikiang, the most northerly point to which boatscome, which is 250 miles north of Chungking. The upperreaches of this river are only navigable in the flood season,and to Peishui boats come for wool, hides and herbs, whichare brought from Kansu by mule. After the long journeyon foot and horseback, Brooke found it very pleasant to beonce more in a Chinese junk, and to be hurled over the rapidsand through great gorges where the river had cut its bed inthe limestone rocks, and rank fohage overhung the KANSU GIRLS NEAR SINING. He was rapidly carried on down through the cuhivated landsof Sechuan, where everything was teeming with life andexcitement. When passing through Kwangyuen he calledat the Mission Station and found two English lady missionariesat work, attending to a crowd of patients who had gatheredto be treated for various ailments so common to the Chinese,and was greatly interested with the work being carried on bythese women in their lonely station. He next reached Paoning, where he called on Bishop Casselsand spent some pleasant hours with the Bishop, of whose work How Mc was Turned Back. he speaks in the highest terms, as he does also of the medicalwork which is carried on at Paoning by Dr. EHiott. Passing rapidly down the river, for it was in high flood,in six days he reached Chungking, which he describes as adirty city, into which he had to climb up a long stone stair-case by the river side before entering the gates.
