OBJECTIONS TO KHAMBA JONG 117
28,275 feet, in the centre, and Everest itself, 29,002 feet,
and ninety miles distant in the far west.
On July 20 I made a formal call upon Mr. Ho and
the Tibetan delegates. Mr. Ho was not a very polished
official, and did not favourably impress me. The Tibetan
Chief Secretary, however, did, and I reported at the time

Tibetan rather than the Indian side of the frontier because
the last negotiations were conducted in India ; and when,
after much trouble a treaty had been concluded between
the Chinese and British Governments, the Tibetans had
