| Summary | "Through Unknown Tibet" by M. S. Wellby is a travelogue detailing an adventurous journey through Tibet and China written in the late 19th century. The narrative is based on the author's expedition with Lieutenant Malcolm as they traverse the largely unexplored regions of Tibet, confronting both the thrilling and the challenging aspects of travel in a little-known land. The book is positioned as an account of the preparations, challenges, and discoveries during their exploration, highlighting the cultural and geographic complexities of the journey. The opening of the book introduces the reader to Wellby and his travel companion, Lieutenant Malcolm, as they prepare for their ambitious trip. Beginning in March of 1896, the narrative details their logistical arrangements, the necessary supplies, and the equipment they gather to embark on their adventure across Tibet, including rifles, scientific instruments, and food supplies. Wellby emphasizes the importance of being well-prepared for encounters with the local populations and navigating the various climates and terrains they will face, setting the stage for both the practical and anecdotal elements that will follow in their voyage across this enigmatic landscape.
