heavy iron chains with which he was laden.

DR. H. WILSON'S _Certificate of_ CHANDEN SING'S _injuries_.
TAKLAKOT, _Sept._ 8, 1897.
I herewith certify that I have examined Chanden Sing, Mr. A.
Henry Savage Landor's servant who accompanied him to Tibet, where
they were arrested and tortured. Chanden Sing has visible to this
day on both his legs, and twenty-one days after they were
inflicted, innumerable black marks produced by flogging. So
severely appears the punishment to have been administered, that
large patches of skin and flesh have been torn off by the
lashing. Chanden Sing is now in very poor health, and it is
evident by his appearance that he suffers greatly from the
tortures and ill-treatment received at the hands of the Tibetans.

Mission._

"All at it and always at it."--WESLEY.
_Sept._ 28, 1897.
This is to certify that I have seen the wounds inflicted upon Mr.
Landor by the Tibetans. It is now about forty days since he was
bound and tortured. The wounds are healing well. The scars upon
his hands caused by being bound with chains behind his back are
plainly visible.
The feet show even more clearly the results of inhuman binding
and torture. The wounds have not yet entirely healed, and there
is much discoloration. One foot is still swollen.
I have not seen the wounds upon his spine inflicted by a
torturing saddle, but he complains of much pain and soreness in
that region.
