...done with mountains, deserts and bandits for a while. Last obstacle had been the theft by Mongolian bandits of tractor bands for the cars. On worn bands the cars carried the party to clean clothes, bath tubs, decorations* and a good long rest. But for intrepid Explorer Petropavlosky, Peiping meant a bride.
