with Excitement.
even III the remote East, where civ
uizatlon SUI Is of the most primitive
pattern, IL Is not Impossible to take a
Journey without having any thrilling
tales OF danger to tell. The people in
the Interior of Asia are as a rule pa
cine, and the traveller who does not
make himself offensive to the natives
generally arrives at his journeys end
Wlthout serious difficulty. To imagine
there are no natural dangers Is. of
course, erroneous. There are; for to
climb some of the highest mountains
IN the Himalaya range Is itself an
an experience fraught with excitement.
and, at times, of positive danger. Mr..
Fraser, indeed, nearly lost his life in
attempting to return by way of ms
dia, through pass blocked with snow.
The regions In which he Travelled are
generally held to be the widest and
most inhospitable in the Euraslan Con-
tinent, but the traveller who Ind ms
companion n British officer. succeeded,
In making his remarkable trip without
any serious mIshap.
After the close of the war Mr.. Fra
ser decided to make a survey of the
Interior of Asia, In the little known
regions of Chinese Turkestan, Tibet,
China, India, Russian 1'urkestan and
Persia. OF these, perhaps, Chinese Tur
kestan Is the least known to the outer
world, although Persia, beyond the
chief cities, is almost an unknown
quantity to the average person. even If
the latter affects to be experienced.
Tibet has been entered by several tray
elers during the last decade, notabW'
by Sven Hedin. The Tibetan war. If
the conflict may be so dignified,
brought that hidden country TO tbe
s.oht, and many of Its pecullarities
have become familiar, although Mr..
Fraser found there was still something
to learn there. Russian Turkestan has
been visited, along the line of the Rus
sian railway advance, and, consequent,
". Is not altogether an unknown coun-
try.
In the course OF his wanderlngs
through this high region, where for
months at time the traveller was al
an aitltude OF mile or more. Mr.,
fraser crossed the Himalaya three
times, ana also made journeys across
