While travelling in Szechuen, he injured his leg and on May 17 ar- rived in Ichang to receive treat- ment.

Before returning to the drabness of Shanghal, Mr. Sato decided to visit Sanklang, one of the famous scenic spots in the upper reaches of the river. He accordingly hired a Chinese boat, which brought him and Li to Patung on June 1.
