Citation Information
CHAMDO TO LHASA 189
" Thank Heaven ! Tibet is a memory of the
past, and I can now get warm again, with no more
thoughts of frost-bite. It is nice to feel I am in
India and on the downward grade at last, with
no more climbs ahead."
And that day he received a budget of letters
from home, but to his annoyance no Racing Up-
to-Date, so " I have no news of what happened
in the Derby, Ascot, etc.".
Gantok, " a most heavenly place ", was reached
on November 17, and here he stayed with Major
Bailey, the Political Agent, who had a huge and
beautiful garden —a regular Paradise.
He had now completed his journey. From
Peking he had travelled 66812 miles, of which he
had walked 3682 miles, or considerably more than
half the distance.
