At three o’clock - after we had seen our first yurts and herds of camels and of cattle, we left the main Kalgan-Urga road; (Urga is of course Bolshevik) and came to Larsen’s Camp.  The scenery was similar to that around Hughesovska; dark green hills and rolling plains.  Larsen is the Duke of Mongolia, a Swede, formerly a missionary, who has become a great man in Mongolia.  He lives in an old temple on the side of a hill, surrounded by yurts. 

Kalgan.  The headquarters of the Wostwag Company, a German firm that traded with the Mongols.
