Dr, M. A. Stein Interviewed on His Remarkalle journey in tke Clouds Three Years of Arduous Exploration Something Further Regarding Valuable Manuscripts Found in Cave
By . Prof. James Wilson. M- A.
T.HK, return of Dr. M. A. Stein.
i leader of the British-Indian gov
. ernment mission In central Asia,
may well be. aa It Is, the archaeo
logical sensation :of the year. His
series of expeditions in central Asia In
volved three years' travel and the cov
ering of 10,000 miles In some of the
wildest and bleakest regions of the
earth s surface.
By a curious Irony of fate, the ex
plorer received his only serloua Injury
on the very last day of his work, when
engaged In surveying an unknown range
at an altitude of over 1:0,000 feet. After
this accident the explorer had an ardu
ous mountain Journey of 18 days be
fore he could receive medical assistance.
He then underwent an operation, from
the results of which he is still lame.
Ihe story of his excavations amid the
sites of burled and ancient civilisation
is among the most fascinating of mod
ern records. Discussing his work, the
explorer said:
'One object of my travels was the
exploration of ancient sites and ruins
through the Tarim basin in eastern
urltestan and the extension of these
researches Into the deserts which extend
between the western jart of China prop
er mid Turkoman. lit addition to this,
geographical exploration played a con
siderable part lu the work, with the
view of studying the question of phys
ical changes due to the drylng-up pro
e. ss which has taken place In historical
times in these parts of central Asia,
mid also survey work in the high moun
tain ranges of the Kunlun and Nanshan
ranges. -
"Uurlng the earlier part of my work
1 whs able to travel through the very
interesting region forming part of
Afghan Turkestan and bordering on the
Pamirs, which had never been visited
by any European since the days of the
boundary commission. My first winter
I spent among the deserted sites in the,
southern part of the Taklamakan desert,'
which marked the extreme limit of -cultivation
in ancient time. There a great
many more sand-burled villages and
townships were explored, with ample re
ward In the way of ancient records, dat
ing from the early centuries of our era.
"The beginning of 1807 found me in
the desert of Lob Nor, a region physic
ally more 'trying than the Taklamakan.
The ordinary difficulties, due to the
absence of water, were there increased
by . the extreme rigor of the climate and
the cutting winds, which always blow
' from the east Into Tarlm basin. As an
example of the difficulties to be' over
come, I may mention that for the sake
of exploring the region which lay on a
long-abandoned ancient trade route from
China to the north end of the Taklama
kan, I had to keep 60 men for over
three'weeks at work at ruins which were
situated eight long marches, from the
nearest drinkable water.
This was a period of extreme hard
ship. The wind was awful, almost be
yond description, and the thermometer
ranged down to 48 degrees below freez
ing point. The traces of ancient river
beds, which were marked by dead trees
and which we crossed again and again,
gave striking proof of the desiccation
whleh had overtaken the whole of the
region. The finds of implements of the
Slono Age i:i u legion far removed from
any water, fresh or salt, called up pic
tures tif a life .like that which might
have been lived by lake dwellers in pre
historic periods.
"Pt Winps th? rost fascinating part
of the archaeological work was that
which. was carried out during the spring
and ?arly crn:rrer of 1907 In the desert
which extends between the salt marshes
of L."b K-.r ar.d tho fun Huang oasis,
marking the c-xlreme west of the Chi
nese r-iovince of Kansu. "There I wi.a
obi to trace over a distance of mora
thuTi so J m.lo the remains of that an
cient fiontier wall which, at the end
of the second century before Christ, had
been constructed by the Cnlnese for the
purpose of protecting the newly opened
route toward the west.
'Taking Into account that the ground
must have been absolutely desert al
ready in the second century' before
Christ, and the great distance separat
ing the sections of the wall from the
nearest water, the difficulties overcome
by those ancient Chinese engineers must
have been Indeed great. Near the watch
towers I found relics left behind by the
Chinese posts which then garrisoned
this awful region. Documents in wood
and bamboo from about 1000 B. C. down
to the middle of the century After
Christ, when this defensive line appears
to have been definitely abandoned, were
excavated. These I found in hundred.
In the little office rooms of the guard
house, or outside them, in the rubbish
heaps which the Chinese soldiers had
left. The distribution; organisation and
commissariat arrangements of these
frontier forces can be exactly traced In
the official orders. Indents, and other
relics which- I found, and many curious
deVulls of life along the miserable fron
tier can still be recovered.
"One -of our most profitable finds
proved to be a treasure cave literally
crammed with ancient manuscripts,
paintings and otiier Bhuddist remains.
These had been deposited and hermet
ically walled up In a side chapel of
one great Bhuddist- sacred cave. Here
I found the whole of a large temple
library, with other value relics which
had been deposited there toward the
end of the tenth century of our era,
evidently to save them from a threat
ened barbarous Invasion, and which
have ever since remained absolutely
protected 'both against men and the rav
ages of the desert.
"The manuscripts which we .recov
ered from their Imprisonment of cen
turies-frequently dated In their oldest
portions, as far back as the first cen
tury after Christ, but. owing to the
great mass of the records. It was aulte
impossible to make a thorough exami
nation. The books were done up in
bundles, and were practically as fresh
as when deposited. The number of
manuscripts exceeds 4u00. and. as far
as can be told, are approximately In
about seven different languages.
"During the summer of 19Q7 a re
gion of upward of 20,000 square miles
was surveyed In the high Nanshan
ranges, where the. dread of Tangut
robber and the absence of guides made
the work of a particularly anxious char
acter. No human beings were encoun
tered, and only the dread of losing
their way prevented my pony men and
escort from carrying out their repeat
ed attempts at mutiny. After a return
to the noi thern parts of the Tarim
basin during the winter in PJ07-8 there
was more opportunity for exploration
at ft number of spots along the great
caravan route, and this still further in

"Then came a hazardous march right
through the TaklamakHn, from north to
south, during which the endurance of
all of us was put to a very severe test.
My camels had to march for nearly
two weeks without water and practi
cally without food, and this alone en
abled us to arrive safely' at the point
where the Karlm River dies Into the
sands. Great regions of dead river
courses, whicli the river had formed
since early Lierlods. formed perhaps the
most dismal ground which it has ever
fallen to my lot to visit.
"Imagine hundreds of square miles
covered with absolutely dead, dense
scrub, and by the gaunt skeletons of
great poplar and other trees, whleh had
been left behind hy the ancient courses
of the ever ehlnglng river. It was a
veritable tropical delta stricken with
death, and the dead and leafless for

tracks of wild camels, marie a scene
which can never be forgotten

for the exploration of the hitherto
wholly unsurveyed head waters of Khotan

at penetration on two previous expe

proved successful. But the difficul

20.000 feet, with deep cut and mostly
Impassable valleys, proveri exception
