Dr. Hedin left his native city of Stockholm 

 in 1893, and from that time unti ', in 1897, his 

 task was accomplished by entering Peking, he 

 was engaged constantly in a desperate struggle

 snow and ice and cold, and where often the 

 only method of advancing was upon hands and 

 knees, the thrilling ascent of the " Father of all 

 Ice Mountains," Mus-tagh-ata, his terrible fight 

 against thirst and exhaustion in the desert of 

 Takla-makan — all these go to make up an al- 

 most unparalleled story of human daring, suffer 

 ing, and endurance.
