page 841 note 1 The hardships often suffered on this high plateau by travellers are strikingly illustrated by the record of another pious traveller, Benedict Goëz, the lay Jesuit, who passed here in 1603 on his journey from India in search of fabled Cathay. He and his Kāfila started from Sarīkol, “and then in two days more they reached the foot of the mountain called Ciecialith (i.e. Chichiklik). It was covered deep with snow, and during the ascent many were frozen to death, and our brother himself barely escaped, for they were altogether six days in the snow here.” See SirYule's, HenryCathay and the Way thither, ii, p. 562Google Scholar.
