200 extra silver rupees, and you carried your revolver, your
rifle, and some extra ammunition. I assure you that I look back
with amazement at how you succeeded in pulling through the
dangers and difficulties of that night alone.

DR. H. WILSON'S _Statement_.

I herewith certify that, having heard at Gungi (Byas) that Mr. A.
Henry Savage Landor, after losing all his provisions in a large
river, had been captured by the Tibetans at Toxem and had there
been tortured, I proceeded to Taklakot (Tibet) in the hope of
obtaining further news. At Taklakot the news was confirmed, and I
heard that Mr. Landor and two servants were brought back under a
strong guard. Some uncertainty prevailed as to what route he
would be made to follow, and efforts were made by the Tibetans to
make him proceed by the long, cold, and dangerous route _via_ the
Lumpiya Pass, instead of by the shorter and easier route _via_
Taklakot. We heard that Mr. Landor and his two men were in very

but little chance of their reaching Gungi alive. At the request
of Jaimal Bura, Latto Bura and myself, Pundit Gobaria despatched
a man to the Jong Pen at Kujer to explain that we would be
thankful and would consider it a great kindness if he would allow
Mr. Landor to travel through Taklakot. At last, after much
trouble, our request was granted. The officer who brought us the
news informed us that Mr. Landor would be made to pass through
Taklakot at night, and conveyed directly over the Lippu Pass. The
Political Peshkar Kharak Sing Pal arrived in Taklakot that day
from India, and we held a consultation. We agreed to keep a
watchman in the road all night, but Mr. Landor did not go by. In
the afternoon of the 8th, Mr. Landor and his two men arrived.
They had been rifled of all they possessed and their clothes were
torn and dirty. Mr. Landor and the two men looked very ill and
suffering, Mr. Landor's face being hardly recognisable. He and
his bearer Chanden Sing gave us an account of the tortu
