Tibet and Turkestan : vol.1 |

sequently upon Rudok (1846) was known to English
officials until after it was made. But the Chinese
may well have learned that the Jammu Maharajah,
once a great Sikh leader and enemy of the British,
was now their ally, and it might fairly be supposed
that he would not attack Tibetan territory unless
he had the tacit approval of his suzerain. The rape
of Ladak was scarcely resisted; possibly the extra-
ordinary difficulties of the march from Lhasa, to-
gether with the delay involved in getting leaders and
some troops from China proper, had rendered im-
possible any effective opposition. But now a fur-
ther thrust of the Dogra troops, who ventured from
newly acquired Ladak just as the Goorkhas had
come out from Nepal, roused the distant giant. An
army, partly Chinese, partly Tibetan, crossed the
vast and desolate country which separates Western
Tibet from Lhasa.
The intruders were forced back, keeping Ladak,
it is true; but again we admiringly find the majesty
of the Elder Brother recognised by the periodic pre-
sents sent from the Maharajah of Kashmir to the
Emperor who reigns so far away, across so many
leagues of upheaved and pathless wilderness,—in
memory of 1846.
This date is of special importance in the history
of European relations with Tibet. In this same
year of the Ladak war, Father Huc entered Lhasa,
was kindly received by the Tibetan authorities, and
after a stay of a few months was required by the
Chinese authority in Lhasa to leave, reasonable
provision being made for his transportation to, and
through, China. No other Europeans entered Lhasa
