Im verbotenen Land, ein Bericht über eine Reise nach Tibet. ^^^^m-^ DIE POMBO S-ANSTECKUNGEN Bestimmte Exorzismen wurden von der Hypnostierin ausgesprochen, und der Pombo begann nun die außergewöhnlichsten Schlangenansteckungen, indem er seine Arme, seinen Kopf, seinen Körper und seine Beine bewegte und verdrehte. Er arbeitete sich selbst oder wurde vielmehr in eine Raserei hineingearbeitet, die einige Zeit andauerte, und die Menge der Anhänger näherte sich ihm, betete eifrig-ly und strahlte tiefe Wehklagen und Schreie des Erstaunens und fast Terror gegen einige der exzentrischeren Bewegungen 163 aus. Im VERBOTENEN LAND seiner Gliedmaßen. Hin und wieder diese seltsame Kin

In the forbidden land, an account of a journey into Tibet . ^^^^m-^ THE POMBO S CONTORTIONS Certain exorcisms were pronounced by the hypnotizer, and the Pombo now began the most extraordinary snake-like contortions, moving and twisting his arms, head, body, and legs. He worked himself, or rather was worked, into a frenzy that lasted some time, and the crowd ofdevotees drew nearer and nearer to him, praying fervent-ly and emitting deep sighs and cries of astonishment andalmost terror at some of the more eccentric movements 163 . IN THE FORBIDDEN LAND of his limbs. Every now and then this weird kind ofdance terminated in a strange posture, the Pombo actual-ly doubling himself up with his head between his feet andhis long flat hat resting on the ground. While he was inthis position, the bystanders went one by one to finger hisfeet and make low prostrations and salaams. At last thehypnotizer, seizing the Pombos head between his hands, . THE FINALE OF THE DANCE stared in his eyes, rubbed his forehead, and woke himfrom the trance. The Pombo was pale and exhausted.He lay back on the chair and his hat fell off his head, which was clean shaven, thus unmistakably showing thathe, too, was a Lama, and, as we have seen, of a very highorder, probably of the first rank after the Dalai Lama. Katas were distributed after this religious performanceto all the Tibetans present, and they folded them andstowed them away in their coats. 164 CHAPTER XCII COMPLIMENTS EXCHANGED—A POISONED DRINK PROFFERED—IN ACUTEPAIN—UNCERTAINTY AS TO OUR FATE—WORKING THE ORACLE—MYWEBBED FINGERS The Pombo came out of his gaudy tent, and I told himthat the dance was beautiful, but that I was very hungry.He asked me what I wanted to eat, and I said I wouldlike some meat and tea.
