FLIGHT OF DALAI LAMA 391
i
his Ministers decided to fly, and they left Lhasa that same
night.
The Dalai himself gave these to Mr. Bell as his reasons
for flying. He said that the promise of the Emperor of
China that he would retain his former power and position in
Tibet had been broken since his return to Lhasa. The
Chinese police already in Lhasa and the forty mounted
infantry had fired upon inoffensive Tibetans, and he fled
because he feared he would be made a prisoner in the
Potala, and that he would be deprived of all temporal power.
He left Lhasa with the Minister and Councillors, who
were afraid to return to their houses, at midnight on
February 12. Accompanying him were about 200 soldiers
and various officials and attendants. The next day they
reached the ferry over the Brahmaputra River at Chaksam,
where he left the soldiers to check any Chinese who
might come in pursuit, while he himself crossed the river
and proceeded to Nagartse which he reached on the 15th
III —very rapid travelling.
The Chinese did pursue him, which is a point to note,
as tending to increase the suspicion that they really had
meant to make a prisoner of him. .A fight took place
at Chaksam, in which several Chinese--one report says
sixty—were killed, but after which the Tibetans dispersed.
And, according to the Dalai Lama, 400 Chinese troops were
sent by the direct road from Lhasa to Phari, and another
party of 300 along the road to Gyantse, while rewards
were promised to anyone who might effect his capture or
might capture or kill his Ministers. Some of the Chinese
letters offering these rewards fell into his hands.
The Dalai Lama himself had meanwhile pressed
rapidly on. On the 16th he crossed the Karo-la, the
scene of Colonel Brander's fight, and reached Ralung.
Nor was reached on the 17th, Dochen on the 18th, and
Phari on the 19th. Here lots were cast as to whether he
should proceed viâ Bhutan, Khamba Jong, or Gnatong.
The lot fell on the last route, and, reinforced by about
100 men of the Chumbi Valley, he was escorted as far as
Yatung on the 20th. With still further reinforcements
and with fresh supplies he was escorted up to the Sikkim
