Some big, shaggy Tian Shan ibexes, shaggier Tian Shan sheep, still shaggier Asiatic bears, some Siberian roe (small deer), some Tahr gazelles, some goitered gazelles, and some 600 small birds and mammals, all dead and on the pack ponies of two lively brothers Roosevelt, entered the ancient city of Kashgar (eastern Turkestan) last week.

Pictures, both motion and still, showed the Maude 15 or 20 feet out of water, hanging on ice-hummocks listing 40 after mighty movements of the pack. Stoutly girded, round-bottomed as a watermelon, armored with wooden walls a yard thick, the Maude had slid or crashed back to the water again without mishap every time, though on some occasions blasting powder was required for the relaunching...
