treacherously attacked at night. Now the Viceroy had
ordered me to advance to Lhasa to negotiate there.
Those orders I had to obey, but I had no desire to create
disturbances in Lhasa or interfere with the religion of the
country, and as soon as I had obtained his seal to the
Convention I had been instructed to negotiate, I would
retire from Lhasa. No religious places which were not
occupied by Tibetan soldiers would be occupied by British
soldiers ; our soldiers would not fire if no opposition was
offered to them ; and all supplies taken from the peasants
would be paid for. But if opposition were offered, our
troops would be compelled to commence military opera-
tions, as they did at Gyantse, and the terms of the settlement
would be increased in severity.
This letter I despatched on the 25th, and the same
day we marched six miles down the banks of the Brahma-
putra River, to Chaksam Ferry. For the purpose of
crossing this river we had brought with us from India
four collapsible Berthon boats, and with these and the
local ferry-boats seven companies of infantry and one
company of mounted infantry were crossed over by
nightfall.
But a sad accident occurred : one of the boats capsized
in the rushing, eddying current, and Major Bretherton,
the Chief Supply and Transport Officer, and two Gurkhas
were drowned. There was no more capable and energetic
officer in the Force. Our success depended much less on
fighting than on supply and transport arrangements, and
these had been wellnigh perfect. Major Bretherton, in the
Kashmir, Gilgit, Chitral, and North-West frontiers, had
almost unrivalled experience of rough transport work, and
his driving power, his readiness, quickness, far-sightedness,
and inexhaustible buoyancy and cheerfulness were of
inestimable value in carrying through such an enterprise
as that which we had now so nearly completed. It was
hard that young Gurdon should lose his life just at the
beginning of so promising a career ; it seemed almost
more cruel that a man who had achieved so much, and
who was just within sight of the goal for which he had
worked longer and harder than any one of us, should have
