This matter being concluded, he bade me farewell, and I returned to the Khan, who was in Yángi-Hisár. He received me in a most flattering manner, and would not hear of my going back to my home in Yarkand; but instead, took me with him on a hunting expedition to Tuyun Bashi—one of the frontiers of Moghulistan. On reaching the hunting ground, we were joined by the Sultan, who came from Aksu. Soon after this the Khán had a return of his old chronic illness, which took the form of flatulence, or wind in the belly and stomach, fits of shivering, and partial paralysis. Often, after hunting, he got a chill on the stomach, and his malady returned. But on this occasion the symptoms were worse than they had ever been before. My uncle was immediately sent for from Kashghar; but by the time he arrived the doctors of the royal camp had succeeded in curing the disease, by means of effective remedies.
