Abstract
THIS is an account of a journey made by three members of the China Inland Mission who started from China and worked their way through Mongolia and Chinese Turkestan to Siberia. The prospects of such a journey would appal most men; the missionaries who made it were women. The difficulties, hardships, and dangers that were faced and overcome are not emphasised, but those who know the route they travelled will best appreciate the courage and endurance of the three ladies who write so modestly of their achievement.
