110 SIMLA TO KHAMBA JONG
or authority having arrived at Khamba Jong to meet me,
I decided to let Mr. White, with Captain O'Connor and
the whole escort, go on in advance to arrange pre-
liminaries.
On July 4 they left Tangu, and encamped some nine
miles distant, on the near side of the wall at Giagong,
which the Tibetans claimed as their boundary, and from
which they had been removed by Mr. White in the pre-
vious year. Before reaching camp—that is to say, well
on the Sikkim side of even the wall—Mr. White was met
by the Jongpen, or Commandant, of Khamba Jong-
" Jong " being the Tibetan for fort. He informed
Mr. White that there were encamped at Giagong, on the
other side of what the Tibetans claimed as their frontier,
two officials—a General and a Chief Secretary of the
Dalai Lama—who had been deputed to discuss frontier
matters, and who were anxious to confer with Mr. White
on the following day.
Mr. White informed the Jongpen that he would be
prepared to greet the officials on the road, and to receive
them in a friendly manner in his camp on the next evening,
but that he was not prepared to halt or hold any discussion
at Giagong.
On the following day Captain O'Connor rode forward,
and was met by the Jongpen of Khamba Jong at the wall
at Giagong, which the Tibetans claimed as their frontier,
but which was on a river flowing into the 'Testa River,
and therefore clearly on our side of the frontier laid down
by the Convention of 1890, concluded by the Chinese
Resident, who had with him a Tibetan representative.
The Jongpen importuned Captain O'Connor to dismount
and to persuade Mr. White to do the same. But Captain
O'Connor said that no discussion was possible, and on
Mr. White's arrival with the escort they all passed
through the wall, and just beyond saw the two Lhasa
officers arrayed in yellow silks, and accompanied by a
crowd of unarmed retainers riding towards them from
their camp. Captain O'Connor advanced to meet them,
and they dismounted and spoke to him very civilly. They
asked him to persuade Mr. White to dismount, to proceed
