India and Tibet : vol.1 |
Citation Information
OCR Text
He was a rough, jovial person, and when I said that I
merely wished to know on which side the Bhutanese
intended to place themselves, that, as they were of the
same religion and race as the Tibetans, we could quite
understand their siding with them, but only wished to
know plainly, so that we could make our arrangements
accordingly, he replied most emphatically that the Bhu-
tanese would be on our side. I said that these were mere
words, and he said that he would put them on paper and
seal it, which he did. I said that that was, after all, only
a piece of paper. Would he show his friendship by
deeds? Would he help us with supplies? And he
readily promised, and gave us permission, on payment, to
make a road up the Amo-chu. Like the Nepalese on our
left flank, these Bhutanese on our right were most whole-
souled in their support, and it greatly strengthened my
position subsequently to be able to advance into Tibet
arm-in-arm with Nepal and Bhutan.
This Trimpuk Jongpen at once became a useful ally.
I explained to him the whole of our case with the Tibetans,
pretty much as I had explained it to the Tibetans in my
speech at Khamba Jong. He asked me whether he might
see the Lhasa delegates, explain our views to them, and
try and induce them to come to a settlement, for he said
his Government were most anxious that a peaceful settle-
ment should be arrived at. I had no hope that he would
be able to effect anything, but I thought that the fact of
his attempting to mediate might be the means of bringing
the Bhutanese Government into closer relation with us.
I therefore consented to his seeing the Lhasa delegates,
and asked when he proposed to go to Guru. His answer
surprised me. He said he found there was no one there
of sufficient rank for him to visit them, so he would send
over and invite them to come and see him. The Lhasa
General, another General, and one of the Lama repre-
sentatives did come and see him, and this incident
furnished sufficient proof of what we had all along con-
tended—that the men whom the Lhasa Government had
sent to negotiate with me were of an altogether too insig-
nificant position for me to meet in serious negotiation.
