II San Francisco Cal.-Harold Yates,
a frightened youth, who had seen
vision and started for the Orient to
preach to the Chinese. was brought
back to San Francisco on the steamer
Nile, which reached here recently.
Yates "call," by which he was sum-
moned to, spread the message Of the
gospel among the heather, led him to
stow away on the steamer Manchuria,
which left here Friday.
Captain Friele Of the Manchuria lis
tened to the young mans account of
his vision, after he had emerged from
his hiding place, but decided that it
did not entitle Yates to free passage
and the stowaway was transferred to
the Nile when that vessel was met in
midocean.
Yates, who was employed as a bell
boy at local hotel, was awakened
with difficulty last Friday morning by
another bellboy. He explained that
he had been listening to a divine sum-
mons to the missionary field and hur-
riedly packed a few belongings and
boarded the Manchurla, where he hid
in the hold.

worst of all deserts in central Asia.
Neither birds nor even insects are

The desert is a sea Of sand, where
there is only the wind to hear and
the moon to see. The party constant
ly met sand mountains over $4,000
feet high, and the men began to
grumble, fearing that they would be
buried by the constant sandstorms.
On arriving at Coma, on the right
bank of the River Tarim, he caused
considerable fright among the shep-
herds, as his was the first party from
the south for thirty years. At first
the shepherds fled, but were brought
back. The feat of crossing the desert
caused greatest reverence by the
shepherds.
At this point he left the camel cara
van to follow on slowly, while he pro.
ceeded on horseback to Kuchar,
which place he reached after three
days. This is a large. town, though
not to be compared with civilized
cities. Nevertheless" said Mr..

plorer proceeded through the valley

Dr.. Stein (now Sir Marc Aurel Stein).
Thence the party proceeded to Tibet
for the purpose of geological ingesti-

they packed themselves like sardines
