Sand Buried Ruin of Khotan 9 - Hunza coolies, before start from Aliabad - Stein arranged ahead of time (through the British residents) for teams of laborers with or without pack mules, ponies, or yaks to be ready on each side of a high pass - one team to carry his equipment up and the other to meet at the top and carry it down the other side. Each side was a different tribal area with different ethnic inhabitants. |
