But it is as a story of adventure that the book makes its greatest appeal. The narrative romps and blusters with Mr. Warner over the long and often perilous road. Mohammedan bandits, Chinese hospitality of the old school, fiery interviews with stubborn officials, forty-course dinners, thieving innkeepers, Russian refugees, seas of mud and acres of dust...
