in a disorganized condition, and looting the country en
route.
Another of the Tibetan stone walls, running from the
waters of the lake far up the mountain-side, was found
deserted on the next day, and that same day we crossed
the last pass on the way to Lhasa, the Kamba-la, 15,400
feet. The ascent was steep, but we all eagerly clambered
up in the faint hope of getting some distant glimpse of
Lhasa, or at any rate of the mighty Brahmaputra River,
which still lay in between us and the sacred city. The
enthusiastic Perceval Landon was quite certain that
through some chink he saw the glitter of a gilded cupola,
and refused to be convinced by the prosaic survey officers
that whatever it might be it at any rate was not the roof
of the Potala.
But if we were not yet to catch a sight of our goal we
had many other exciting incidents on that day. We
descended rapidly from the pass by a very steep path to
a camp on the banks of the great Brahmaputra itself,
called here the Sanpo, and presumed to be identical—
though this is a great geographical problem yet to be
solved—with the Brahmaputra of India. It was here
11,550 above sea-level, and spread out in many channels,
but farther down, where it was narrowed into a single
channel, it was 140 yards wide and flowing with a strong,
swift current. The valley was wide and well cultivated
with wheat and barley, and several cultivated valleys ran
into it. In these valleys were plenty of trees, poplars
and willows, but the hillsides were not wooded, as we
had hoped.
General Macdonald sent on his mounted infantry to
seize the Chaksam Ferry, and they succeeded in capturing
the two large ferry-boats, and occupied Chaksam for the
night. This was a great stroke, as if the Tibetans had
kept the boats on the other side of the river our difficulties
in surmounting this most serious obstacle would have
been immensely increased.
Another great event on this day was the receipt of
what was, I think, the first written communication which
any British official had received from a Tibetan official
