The men also get something out of the hunting, while the women do most of the farming and attend to the water mills in which they grind their grain. We went up a long stone staircase and entered a courtyard about twenty-five yards square, and surrounded by a parapet which on the inside was about three feet high, but when you looked over the wall you saw it was quite twenty-five feet to the ground on the outside. Passing through a long hall or corridor, we turned to our left and found a suite of... rooms, which were very dark and dirty. The whole castle was unoccupied, except for the caretaker and an old Lama. He performed the priestly rites in the presence of the castle idols which have their lofty abode on the fourth storey of the building, and which are of the same obscene character as those found in the temple at Tunghngshan, where the Tussu lives. The interior of the castle was exceedingly gloomy ; the dust and cobwebs of ages hung from every beam, the floors had not been swept for years, let alone washed — a thing indeed entirely unheard of in this country.
