The whole of the Tibetan generals

hcials were among the hundreds killed in the
fighting of March 81 at Guru. The small Brit
ish losses are accounted for by the fact that the
Tibetans were so huddled together that the
majority were unable either to use their swords
to fire. The swordsmen in the front rank
could not reach the sikhs. who had fixed bayo-
nets. while the men in the middle Of the mob
could not reach the enemy, but many Of them
probably killed each other in the excitement.
The grim. determined faces OF the Tibetans'

the Sikhs. whom they outnumbered six or seven
to one.
When the Lhassa general fired the first shot
the Tibetans. with wild shouts. drew their
swords, fired their matchlocks and surged for

When finally the Tibetans retired they
