[?]Section of panorama from Ching-t'o-yo-san dawan, 2 Aug 1907. [1255] 33. Section of panoramic view taken from crest of watershed above Huoning-to Pass, showing portions of the Richtofen, To-lai-shan and Alexander 111 ranges of Nai-shan, 7 Aug 1907. Prints 33-37 form the linked sections of a panoramic view, published in Ruins of Desert Cathay, vol. 2, p. 314. The explanatory text accompanying the view notes: 'The panorama was taken at an elevation of circ. 15,500 feet to the north-west of the pass, which itself is hidden by rocky foreground (D; see ii. pp. 314 sqq. and Map III). The view extends from the northeast (left) to the south-west (right); the entries above the panorama indicate only the approximate bearings. It shows portions of the Richtofen Range west (A) and east (B) of Hung-shui-pa Ho, rising to peaks of over 18,000 feet. The high peaks of the To-lai-shan Range, over which the pass leads, are masked by neighbouring ridges (C) [print 289], Across the wide valley of the Pei-ta Ho are seen in the distance the Uge-shan group (E), rising to close on 19,000 feet, and other snowy portions of the Alexander III Range (F to H). The approximate position of the pass by which we crossed this range is indicated by (G). For a view from the same point to the north-west see Fig. 237.' Stein describes the taking of this view on p. 315: 'The atmosphere was delightfully clear, and with the pleasure of getting this chance for a photographic panorama I scarcely noticed the icy wind which played over our narrow ar§te. So wild was the confusion of its fissured rocks that to keep the camera secure and take exposures all round cost much trouble. So when the work was accomplished I was glad to hurry down to the pass which our baggage train had just crossed in safety...' [1270] 78
