Excerpt from Lepcha Land, or Six Weeks in the Sikhim HimalayasLittle outward difference either in the country or in our position. The permission to make a traffic depot at Yatung - a few miles beyond the jeylap Pass - proved a very tri¿ing concession after years of diplomatic angling. It was found to be too bleak and barren a spot to be of any sort of commercial value. But during the past year there has been a renewal of the agitation against the in¿uence of China, which so hampers the natural trade between Hindustan and Tibet. Current events, however, and the probable parcelling out of Chinese territory, are likely to Open the ¿ood-gates of Western civilization. But when this comes to pass, Lepcha Land will be a misnomer, and another primitive, patriarchal and peace-loving people will have died out. F.
