Unbekannte Mongolia: Eine Aufzeichnung der Reise und Erkundungen im Nordwesten der mongolischen Region und der Dzungaria. IgA war die anstrengendste Begegnung mit der Natur, die wir je erlebt hatten. Die Anstrengung, die Karawane zu manipulieren, von Andenken an die Männer bis hin zur Arbeit, um ihre Zufriedenheit zu gewährleisten, um Meutereien zu vermeiden. All das musste getragen werden, ebenso wie die körperliche Ermüdung des Tauchens durch den stickenden Dschungel, das Waten durch Moore und das Kämpfen mit unzähligen und am meisten vorrüchigen Moskitos. Die erste Etappe von Kusha-Bar bis Petropawlowsk war sechsundzwanzig Meilen, und wir haben fünf Tage Zeit, dies zu erreichen! In diese zwei

Unknown Mongolia : a record of travel and exploration in north-west Mongolia and Dzungaria . iga was the most exhaustingencounter with nature that we had ever experienced.The exertion of manipulating the caravan, of keepingthe men up to the work, of ensuring their contentmentin order to avoid mutiny—all this had to be borne, as wellas the physical fatigue of plunging through stifling jungle, wading through bogs, and battling with innumerable andmost voracious mosquitoes. The first stage from Kusha-bar to Petropavlovsk was twenty-six miles, and we tookfive days to accomplish it! Into those twenty-six milesthe most exasperating difficulties were crowded. Wehad frequently to start in the morning after a three orfour hours struggle with the horses and their packs ; oftenindeed this struggle was preceded by a hunt through thesurrounding jungles for horses which had strayed, andwas followed by endless labour with pack and pack-horses, which continued throughout the day. The loadswere off the horses as much as on them, a continuousmarch for any length of time with the full quota of.

The steep climbs up the ridges andthe scrambles down the other side, made the loads stillmore likely to shift, and, at its best, the track could onlybe described as having once been a horse-track. During the second days trek we met with rivers—small rivers, it is true, but of a sufficient depth to forbidfording. It was then we congratulated ourselves onhaving brought a folding-boat, and, in spite of the ridiculeof the Siberian boatmen, who were incredulous as to aboat of canvas being really of any practical use, we suc-ceeded in ferrying our kit across the Bogart River in acouple of hours without mishap.
