He was a rough, jovial person, and when I said that I
merely wished to know on which side the Bhutanese ig;
y Wi
intended to place themselves, that, as they were of the
same religion and race as the Tibetans, we could quite ■il
understand their siding with them, but only wished to
know plainly, so that we could make our arrangements 10
accordingly, he replied most emphatically that the Bhu- Itanese would be on our side. I said that these were mere Ili
words, and he said that he would put them on paper and it
seal it, which he did. I said that that was, after all, only i
a piece of paper. Would he show his friendship by Ili
deeds ? Would he help us with supplies ? And he Il
readily promised, and gave us permission, on payment, to 111
make a road up the Amo-chu. Like the Nepalese on our i
left flank, these Bhutanese on our right were most whole-
souled in their support, and it greatly strengthened my
position subsequently to be able to advance into '.Tibet
arm-in-arm with Nepal and Bhutan.
This ''rimpuk Jongpen at once became a useful ally.
I explained to him the whole of our case with the Tibetans,
pretty much as I had explained it to the Tibetans in my it
speech at Khamba Jong. He asked me whether he might 1i
see the Lhasa delegates, explain our views to them, and i
try and induce them to come to a settlement, for he said II
his Government were most anxious that a peaceful settle- 1
ment should be arrived at. I had no hope that he would ii
be able to effect anything, but I thought that the fact of li
his attempting to mediate might be the means of bringing
the Bhutanese Government into closer relation with us.
I therefore consented to his seeing the Lhasa delegates,
and asked when he proposed to go to Guru. His answer
surprised me. He said he found there was no one there
of sufficient rank for him to visit them, so he would send
over and invite them to come and see him. The Lhasa
General, another General, and one of the Lama repre-
sentatives did come and see him, and this incident
furnished sufficient proof of what we had all along con-
tended—that the men whom the Lhasa Government had E
sent to negotiate with me were of an altogether too insig- i
nificant position for me to meet in serious negotiation.
