40 MANNING'S VISIT TO LHASA
the Chinese influence in Tibet overthrown without many
emotions of regret, especially if the rulers under the new
influence were to treat the Grand Lama with respect ; for
this is a point in which those haughty Mandarins are some-
what deficient, to the no small dissatisfaction of the good
people of Lhasa." These words would be very fairly
applicable to the situation at the present day.
After Manning, no Englishman, in either a private or
official capacity, visited Lhasa till the Mission of 1904.
'T'his seems to show want of enterprise on the part of
Englishmen in India ; but some did make the attempt,
and many more would have if they could have obtained the
necessary leave from all the authorities concerned. British
officers in India are keen enough to go on such adven-
tures, but leave can very rarely be obtained. I had myself
planned out such a journey in 1889. I had interviewed
the Foreign Secretary, now Sir Mortimer Durand, and
not only obtained permission, but even some pecuniary
assistance, when, at the last moment, I was refused per-
mission by the Colonel of my regiment. Such restric-
tions must, I know, have prevented many another besides
myself. Still, efforts were made by individual officers,
unsupported by Government, to explore Tibet, and, if
possible, reach Lhasa. Moorcroft explored Western
Tibet, and, according to some reports, actually reached
Lhasa and died there ; Richard and Henry Strachey visited
the sources of the Brahmaputra and the Sutlej ; Carey,
Littledale, Bower, Wellby, Deasy, and Rawling explored
in Northern Tibet ; and native surveyors mapped even
Lhasa itself, to which point Sarat Chandra Das also pene-
trated at great risk and brought back most valuable
information.
These and other efforts to explore the country by the
Russian travellers Prjevalsky, Pievtsoff and Kozoloff ; by
the Frenchmen Huc and Gabet, Bonvalot, Prince Henri
d'Orléans, Dutreuil de Rhins and Grenard ; and by that
indefatigable and courageous Swedish traveller, Sven
Hedin, have all been brought together by Sir Thomas
