Tuden, the Tibetan interpreter, has travelled all over the Land of the Lamas, and was probably the most loveable man in the whole outfit He was always on the spot and knew exactly where anything which was lost could be found. He was a Tibetan scholar, moreover, arid assisted Dr. Anderson where language or literary difficulties were encountered. However his pleasant manner encouraged jealousy and Tuden's hair was pulled on several occasions. Prof, Anderson demanded harmony among the members of his encourage so Tuden (Tibetan, with power) had to cultivate the habit of shaking hands. Tuden would brook no questioning of his authority in things Tibetan. To even look at him when he made any statement had a tendency to send Tuden ten feet high; Lozang (Tibetan, good mind) was in charge of the forty animals: A pleasant good natured Tibetan, he carried an ugly knife in his belt and when the long, tired caravan was only 100 yards from home he drew this fierce looking instrument and was quite prepared to cut the expedition cook in two, But for the timely arrival of Dr. Graham who witnessed the terrible struggle a_ serious incident might have taken place.
From a scientific standpoint the exploration had some success and we trust the author of "The Yellow Earth" will give the world another book dealing with his discoveries on the Roof of the World and perhaps answer the question with some authority: Was there a primitive man in the Land of the Lamas and if so has he left any relics?
