Having resolved to send Eaju to Polu to obtain the sheep from Ladak with their loads of corn, I had tried to induce some of the Kara Sai men to act as his guides, but they had declined, feigning ignorance of the route. Their real reason was probably founded on the hostility which existed between the Polu and the Kara Sai villagers, who both claimed the right to shoot yak near Yepal Ungur, the Polu men asserting that the right belonged to them exclusively. Since none would act as guides, I sent Eaju on the track of the two Polu yak- shooters.
