204 GYAN'TSE
Mr. Walsh, who had been in political charge of Chumbi,
had interviewed him on June 3, and to him the 'Tongsa
Penlop had admitted the unreasonableness and folly of
the 'Tibetans, but argued that it was due to the bad advice
of the Councillors, who had, in consequence, all been put
in prison. He said, though, that nothing could be gained
by our going to Lhasa, as the Dalai Lama and the Govern-

no one there with whom to negotiate. He had written to
the Dalai Lama, informing him of what I had told the
Trimpuk Jongpen at Tuna we wanted, and the Dalai
Lama had replied that the Sikkim boundary must be

which has had most beneficial subsequent results.
The Tongsa Penlop I found to be a straight, honest-
looking, dignified man of about forty-seven years of age.
He bore himself well, dressed well, gave me costly presents,
and altogether showed himself a man of importance and
authority. He said he was most anxious to effect a settle-
ment between us and the Tibetans. The latter had been
very obstinate and wrong-headed, but the Dalai Lama
was a young man, who needed good counsellors, and un-
fortunately there were bad men in Lhasa, who acted in his
name to the detriment of the country. General Mac-
donald had told him that we were prepared to receive
negotiators up to June 25, and he (the Tongsa Penlop)
had, accordingly, written urgently to the Tibetans to send
