THE TIBET MISSION 33 



I am very glad to have seen the Kashmir- 

 Gilit frontier. From a strategical standpoint it 

 was most interesting, and the frontier officers are 

 a line body of men. 



The Younghusbands were kindness itself, and 

 his account of his mission to Tibet was beyond 

 words interesting. I had long and most enlighten- 

 ing talks with him and like him immensely. 



I felt nothing till to-day, but now I feel very sore 

 and shaken. I have loosened a tooth, which hurts 

 me, and I have no nails left, no skin on my nose, 

 and my cigarette-case is smashed flat. But after 

 a couple of days of the simple life I shall be quite, 

 myself again. I feel very sorry for the poor horse ; 

 he must have had a terrible two minutes.
