To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The mass of buildings was ht up from end to end by countless httle lamps, this day being the anniversary of the death of the fii-st Tashi Lama. Our arrival coinciding with this event was looked upon by the superstitious Tibetans as a good omen.
Early the following morning we strolled into the bazaar to see if we could purchase in the open market any of the many things required. This was only accomphshed with the greatest difficulty, for the place was densely packed, and as the people crowded ro...und, it was only with great efforts that even the noisy 176 •' THE GARTOK EXPEDITION 177 policemen could force a passage. A few purchases were, however, made, and we then wended our way to the shops situated in the town itself. The bazaar, which has from time immemorial been held at this spot, consists of rows of booths, situated in the shade of the walls of the Chinese enclosure and to the south of the fort. Every imaginable article is here offered for sale, including a fair amount of Indian and European goods, such as coloured cloths and cheap cutlery.
