frontier on the 21st, and that same day reached Gnatong,
on the British side.
With the British Trade Agent at Yatung he left a
message saying that it was his intention to go to India to
consult the British Government. He had appointed a
Regent and Acting Minister at Lhasa, but he and the
Ministers who accompanied him had their seals with them.
He looked to the British for protection, and trusted that

Now the Chinese had broken their promises, as already

the help of the British against the Chinese. He stated
