This position General Graham attacked on the follow-
ing day, and drove the Tibetans from it over the Jelap-la
Pass, and in the ensuing days pursued them into the
Chumbi Valley. But here again, in accordance with our
principle of respecting Chinese susceptibilities, our troops
did not remain in Chumbi a single day, but returned at
once to Gnatong. For two years now the Tibetans had
been encroaching on our side of the frontier, but not for
one day would we permit our troops to remain on the
Tibetan side. Forbearance could scarcely go further than
this, but yet it was to be still more strained on many a
subsequent occasion.
