214 THE STORMING OF GYANTSE JONG
by General Macdonald and many military officers, while a
strong guard of honour lined the approach. I waited for l
half an hour, but as at the end of that time the 'Tibetan
delegates had not arrived, I rose and dismissed the 11
Durbar.
At 1.30 the Tibetans appeared ; but as the dilatoriness j
they had shown in coming to Gyantse and after their 0
arrival in coming to see me was a pretty clear indication
that they had not even yet realized how serious the situa-
tion was, I saw that I should have to do something yet to gill
impress them with its gravity. The Ton gsa Penlop was
able to come from much farther and reach Gyantse before
Y
them. He had come to see me at once on arrival, while
they had delayed till the next day ; he had come half an

not to be trifled with any longer. So on their arrival I
had them shown into a spare tent, and informed that I
had waited for them in Durbar for half an hour ; that as
they had not arrived by then, I had dismissed the Durbar,
and would not now be at leisure to receive them for r
another two or three hours.
By four o'clock the Durbar was again assembled, with
General Macdonald and his officers, all my staff, and a i
guard of honour. Captain O'Connor then led in the I
Tibetan delegates, and showed them to their places on
my right ; but I made no signs of receiving them, and I
remained perfectly silent, awaiting an apology. They I
moved about uncomfortably during this deadening silence,
and at last the Ta Lama, who was really a very kindly,
though perfectly incapable, old gentleman, and absolutely d
in the hands of the more capable but evil-minded Chief V
Secretary, murmured out a full apology. I informed
them that the inference I drew from the disrespect they
had shown the in arriving an hour and a half late was that
they were not in earnest in desiring a settlement. The
Ta Lama assured me that they were really in earnest, but
