My evident friendliness tho?oughly won these children of the mountains, and they became quite confidential, saying that my avowed intention of going to Yunnan had given them great pleasure, as their orders were to stop me at the risk of their lives, but not to hurt me ; and they had fancied, from the description given them of my weapons, that I should have killed a great number of them.
After smoking a couple of pipes with them, we separated.
284 TRAVELS OP A PIONEER OF COMMERCE. [Cii. X.
The s...oldiers retraced tlieir steps half-way up the mountain, and then rode parallel with our course until we turned south- ward again for Yunnan.
As we proceeded we were tantalised by the sight of pheasants and deer in abundance ; but though the tempta- tion to stock our empty larder was painfully strong, we dared not go in pursuit, lest we should give a pretext to the Lamas for attacking us. So with longing looks we pushed on, and gradually descended into a less elevated country, the grassy limestone mountains being succeeded by bare hills of a clayey sand, with huge square masses of sandstone imbedded, the lower sides of these boulders being rippled with watermarks.
