Amid that babel of men. many of them may nut have heard the command; they may not hare believed that their lives would have been spared. A STRANGE PRfX'ESSION. Looking hack on Ihe affair with all the sanity of experiem-e- , nothing Is more natural than what happened. It was folly and aulelde, no doubt, hul It was human nature. They were not going to give In without having a fling. I hope 1 shall not be considered a when I nay that I admire their gallantry and dash. As my wounds were being dressed I peered over the mound at the rout. Why In They were walking away! and the name of all I heir Bodhis-at-a Munis, did not they run? There was cover behhlnd a bend In the hill a few hundred yards distant, and they were exposed to a devastating hail of bullets from the Maxims and rifles, that seemed to mow down every third or fourth man. Yet they walked! It was the most extraordinary procession I have ever sen. My friends have tried to explain the phenonomen as due to obstinacy and Ignorance, or But for life. Spartan contempt I think I have the solution. They were bewildered. The Impossible had happened. Prayers and rharms. and manias and the holiest of their holy men had foiled them. I believe they were olisesed with that one thought. They walked with bowed heads, as If they hid been dlsillnsloned in their gods. Perhaps no British victory has been greeted with less enthsxlaam than the aetlon at the Hoi Springs. Certainly the oHirers who did their duty so thore oughly had no heart In the business1 at all. After the first futile rush the Tibetans made no further resistance.

Being met with the uual answer, they mounted dejectedly and rode nit on a gallop (o their camp. Soon after they had disappeared another group of horsemen were seen riding towards us. These proved to be the Ijhasa Depon, accompanied by an influential Lama and a small escort armed with modern rifles. The rifles were naturally inspected with great interest; they were of different patterns Martini Henri.

According to Tibetan custom, a rug was spread on the ground for the Interview between Colonel Younghusband and the Lhasa Depon, who conferred ritting down.

No one dreamed of the sanguinary I disaction that was impendnlg. mounted. and hastily scribbled a dispatch to the effect that the Tibetan position had been taken without a shot being fired.. The mounted orderly who bore a similar mescarried the sage from the mission to the Foreign Office. Then the- - disarming began. The Tibetans were told that if they gave up their arms they would lie allowed to go off unmolested. But they did not wish to give up their arms. It was a ridiculous position, Sikh and Mongol swaying backwards and forwards as they wrestled for the possession of swords and matchlocks. Persituation msde haps the humor e oue carelera of the underlying danger. Accounts differ as to how this wrest Hug match developed into war, how to the delight of the troops I he toy Of show became the real thing.. ime thing I am certain, that a rush waa made in the southeast corner before a shot was fired. If there had been any firing I would not. have been wandering about by the Tibetan flank without a revolver in my hand. Aa It was, my revolver waa buried in the breast pocket of my Norfolk jacket under my poshteen. I have no excuse for this folly except a misplaced contempt for Tibetan arms and courage a contempt which accounted for our only serious casualty In the affair of 1888. Hemmed In as the Tibetans were, no one gave them the credit for the spirit, they showed, or Imagined that they would have thn folly to resist. But we had to deal with the must ignorant and benighted people on earth, moat of whom must have thought our magazine rifles and Maxims as harmless as their own matchlocks, and believed that they ho re charms by which they were . Immune from death. A FIGHT FOR LIFE. ,ncorner 'The attack In the' south-ea- st was so sudden that the first man was on me before I had time to draw my revolver. He came at me with hia sword uplifted In both hands over his head. He had a clear run of ten yards, and If T had not ducked and caught him by the knees he must have smashed my skull open. I threw him, and he dragged me to the ground. Trying to rise I was struck on the temple by a second swordsman, and the blade glanced off my skull. I received the rest of my wounds, save one or two, on my hands as I lay on my face 1 used them to protect my head. After a time the blows ceased; my assailants were all shot down, or had fled. I lay absolutely stfll for awhile until 1 thought it safe to rabwmy head. Then I looked around, and, seeing no Tibetans near In an erect position, I got up and walked out of the ring between the rifles of the Sikhs.
