At the Tering Rajah's house. Photographer: Spencer-Chapman, Frederick
- Scope & Content:
-
Genre: Historical Events
Tibetans and members of mission on verandah of house. 'The march to Lhasa commenced today. As we had been asked to lunch at Tering by the Rajah, we could not make an early start, and so left Gyantse at 9-30 a.m...We were accompanied as far as Tering by mounted escort of M.I. On arrival there at 11 a.m., the Rajah and his family (wife, son and daughter-in-law) conducted us into a nice sitting-room where we sat in easy chairs and sofas round a long low table, and for the next hour or more were regaled with chang, tea, and sweet biscuits. We were anxious to get on with our lunch and resume our march, but these functions cannot be hurried. At length lunch was served...We rose replete about 1-15 p.m., and after some photos the Lhasa party, Gould, Neame, Richardson, Morgan, and Chapman departed, while Salomans, Guthrie, Nepean and Dagg returned to Gyantse.' (Lhasa Mission Diary, 16 August 1936).
