30 The first day I hunted
yoral I was attracted to
one by a sharp bird like
sawt or bark. This sound of
alarm I have not heard
since & is given only rarely.
Teng-yuel is a walled
town the wall of the same
size & structure as that of
Tai-fo. Outside the wall
is an cleared space or
grassy meadow + a shallow
dry moat. Inside the
town are many open gardens
+ even ponds, many of the
people (all the Europeans)
live outside the town.
The streets of the town are
wide like those of Yunnan fu.
The remaining benefit for
yoral netted nothing but
in the afternoon I shot thru a
fine range which was pointed
out to me by a party of Chinese
from the road. He himself
isleep on a ledge near the base
of the large cliff about 30 yards
from the western or road.
