TA LAMA AND TON GSA PENLOP 213
was attacked on May 5 ; but they now had orders to
negotiate with me. They had no special credentials, but
the Dalai Lama, in his letter to the Tongsa Penlop, had
mentioned that they were coming to negotiate, and the
fact of a man in the 'Ta Lama's high position being here
was evidence of their intentions.
I replied that I did not wish to discuss the past except
to make clear one point. They were not at the Guru
fight, but I was, and I saw the first shot fired by the
Tibetans after General Macdonald had purposely restrained

talk before noon on the following day, and come and see
me again at that hour, as I was not yet satisfied of the
earnestness of their intentions.
The same afternoon they had a prolonged interview
with the Tongsa Penlop, who asked them what they had
gained by their silly attitude of obstruction, and advised
them to give up fighting and make terms with us. The
Tongsa Penlop informed me he thought the delegates, or
certainly the Dalai Lama, were really anxious to make a
settlement.
On July 3 the Tongsa Penlop arrived half an hour
before the time fixed for the reception of the delegates.
At noon I took my seat in the Durbar, which was attended
