188 PEKING TO LHASA
marvellous way in which Providence protected
me from even worse. I think a second such
journey would kill me."
Gyantse was reached on November 5. Here
he met the first Europeans, except Madame Nèel,
since leaving Tangar in May. They were Dr.
McGovern and Captain Ellam of a so-called Bud-
dhist Mission. There were, too, Mr. Macdonald,
the British Trade Agent, and about seventy
Indian soldiers. These last were very smart.
" It was a treat ", he writes, " to see again a
man who could present arms, and also to see the
Union Jack once more flying in the afternoon
breeze. Good old England ! "
And he saw here Indian papers up to October 28,
and containing the news of his arrival in Lhasa
also the results of the Leger, Cesarewitch and
Cambridgeshire, " all won by rank outsiders I
had never heard of ".
On November 7 he resumed his journey, but
now onwards there were dak bungalows with
glass windows and real fire-places, doors, a bed,
tables, chairs such luxuries as he had not seen
for months. There were even books, and he re-
read The Velvet Glove. On November 13 he
crossed the Himalaya by the Tang La, 15,200 feet,
and reached Phari. Everybody had dwelt on the
cold of this stage, so he had dreaded it badly, but
found it not so cold as the Karo La. Next day
he marched down the Chumbi valley, thickly
wooded and with delightful smell of pine. On
November 16 he crossed his last pass, the Nathu
La, 14,700 feet. At last he was out of Tibet and
could say he had been right across it.
