304 THE TREATY CONCLUDED
Chinese, and over 100 Tibetans. The scene as we
entered was unique in interest. On the left were all
the British and Indian officers and men in their sombre
fighting dress. On the right were the mass of 'Tibetans,
the Councillors in yellow silk robes, and many others
in brilliant clothing, together with the Bhutanese in bright
dresses and quaint headgear. And in front the Resident
and all his staff, in their full official dress, advanced to
meet me, with the Regent by him, in the severely simple
garb of a Lama. The pillars and cross-beams of the roof
of the hall were richly painted. An immense silk curtain,
gorgeously embroidered, was hung immediately behind the
chairs to be occupied by the Resident and myself. And the
whole scene was rendered curiously soft and hazy from the
light entering, not by windows at the sides, but through
the coloured canvas of' an immense skylight in the centre.
The Ti Rimpoche (the Regent) sat next to the Resident
on his left. I was on his right. As soon as we were seated,
Tibetan servants brought in tea, and handed cups to all
the British and Chinese officials. Low tables of dried
fruits were then set before the two rows of officials.
When these were all cleared away, I said to the Resident
that, with his permission, I would proceed to business.
I first had the Treaty read in Tibetan, and then asked
the Tibetan officials if they were prepared to sign it.
They answered in the affirmative, and the immense roll of
paper was produced, on which the Treaty was written in
three parallel columns in English, Chinese, and Tibetan,
according to their custom of having treaties in different
languages inscribed on the same sheet of paper. I asked
the Tibetans to affix their seals first, and the long process
began. When the seals of the Council, the monasteries,
and the National Assembly had been affixed I rose, and,
with the Ti Rimpoche, advanced to the table, the Resident
and the whole Durbar rising at the same time. The Ti
Rimpoche then affixed the Dalai Lama's seal, and finally
I sealed and signed the Treaty. Having done this, I
handed the document to the Ti Rimpoche, and said a
peace had now been made which I hoped would never
again be broken.
