Excerpt from A Wayfarer in China: Impressions of a Trip Across West China and Mongolia Word of explanation may help to an under A standing of this record of a brief journey in China, in 1911, in the last quiet months before the revolution. No one who has ever known the joy of hunting impressions of strange peoples and strange lands in the out-oi - the-way corners of the world can ever feel quite free again, for he hears always a compel ling voice that calls him night and day to go forth on the chase once more. Years ago, for a beginning, I pursued impressions and experiences in the Far West on the frontier, there was a frontier then. And since that time, whenever chance has offered, that has been my holiday pastime, among the Ken tucky mountains, in the Taurus, in Montenegro, in India. Everywhere there is interest, for everywhere there is human nature, but whoever has once come under the spell of the Orient knows that henceforth there is no choice; footloose, he must always turn eastwards.
