This part of the world, is getting worked rapidly how. 



The road to the Jedo Pass led through a gorge that is evidently an old 

 glacial bed. It is U shaped* 



We got a few night-moths tonight. The collectors were so scared, be- 

 cause of the death of a soldier, and because they had mountain sickness, and by 

 the cold, that they were temporarily almost useless. For awhile the skinner Ho 

 and the collector Yang simply rolled up in their beds and let the rest of us do 

 the work. Later Ho got our supper. Two of the netters also went to bed. The 

 other two netters also went to bed. The other two netters offered to watch the 

 gasoline lanterns after they had eaten, but it was so cold that there was danger 

 that they would become ill, so I watched the lanterns myself while I wrote my 

 diary. I slept until about 3:30, when I awoke and remained awake until daylight, 

 when we got up and broke up camp. 



July 19. ^e went 20 li before eating breakfast. The night before, the 

 collectors were very grumpy, and had to be treated with care. A mutiny almost 

 broke out. About breakfast time Yang Fong Tsang announced that he would not go 

 any farther. This brought about a serious situation, and for a half an hour, we 

 had the most tense time we have ever had on such an expedition and some rather 

 disagreeable things. He Yang had become desperate because of the hard climb, mountaii 

 sickness, insufficient food (which was hard, to cook properly because of the altitude, 

 and because the main cooking vessel got broken) and fear because of the death of 

 the soldier. He even decided to leave at once. The other collectors stood with 

 me as I tried to reason with him, and finally he came along. In the afternoon, 

 he became well, had eaten a good meal and had come to his senses. He worked hard, 

 and killed a large hare and a marmot in order to please me and persuade me to 

 overlook the incident. He is acting normal again. 



Today we killed two marmots and a hare, (I killed one marmot) Mammals
