I was heartily tired of this fencing about at a dis-
tance; I wanted to get in under their reserve. And I
thought that if we could meet and could tell them in an
uncontentious and unceremonious manner what all the
pother was about, we might at any rate get a start—get
what the Americans call a "move on." It was worth
while, it seemed to me, to make a supreme effort to get
this intrinsically small matter settled by peaceful means,
even if a very considerable risk was incurred in the

On our way we were met by messengers, who had come
to say that the Tibetan chiefs would not come to see me
at Tuna, and I was all the more pleased that I had left
Tuna before the message arrived.
On reaching Guru, a small village under a hill, we
found numbers of Tibetan soldiers out collecting yak-
