386 THE ATTITUDE OF THE TIBETANS
Indian Government. This they considered one of the
most valuable results of their journey. The Dalai Lama
had originally intended, they explained, to leave two or
three of his Councillors to represent his interests here, but
this proposal had for the time being been abandoned in
deference to the views of the Chinese Government.
So the Pontiff disappears into space again, and for a
year nothing is heard of him till a report comes from our
agent in Tibet in October, 1909, that he had arrived at
Nagchuka, a fortnight's march from Lhasa. He had by
this time evidently heard of the proceedings of Chao
(Chao Erh-feng) in suppressing Lamaism and destroying

was to the Wai-wu-pu, and contained the same expression,
and added : We have acted frankly, and now they steal
our heart."
The Dalai Lama also at this time sent a messenger by
Calcutta to Peking with a letter to the British Minister,
dated November 7, from the Tacheng Temple, three days'
march outside Lhasa. This messenger reached Peking on
February 7. The letter gave expression to the Lama's
