The deputation, which consisted of the Yutok Sha-pe, the Ta Lama, the Chief Secretary, and some monks, arrived in my camp shortly before the time appointed. 15 226 THE ADVANCE TO LHASA The Yutok Sha-pe' took the chief place. He was a genial, gentlemanly official of good family and pleasant manners. But it soon became apparent that both he and the Ta Lama were in the hands of the Chief Secretary, the monk official who, from our first meeting at Khamba Jong, had ever been an obstacle in our way. ...This latter official, acting as spokesman, said they had heard from the Tongsa Penlop that we wished to negotiate at Gyantse, and they had set out to meet us w r hen they heard that we were advancing. They were quite willing to negotiate if we returned to Gyantse, and in that case they would ac- company us and make a proper settlement with us there. I repeated for the fiftieth time that I had waited* for more than a year to negotiate ; that even at Gyantse I had given them many opportunities ; that when I had first arrived there I had announced my desire to negotiate ; that after the attack upon me I had still declared my willingness to negotiate up to June 25 ; that on the inter- cession of the Tongsa Penlop the Viceroy had extended that term for some days ; that even after the capture of the Jong I had sent messengers over the country to find them, arid waited for another week at Gyantse ; but that eventually the patience of the Viceroy had become com- pletely exhausted, and His Excellency had ordered me to advance to Lhasa forthwith, as he had reluctantly become convinced that only there could a settlement be made.
