and restraints of the civilisation of Simla. 

Footnotes: 

{1} Mr.  Redslob said that when on different occasions he was smitten
by heavy sorrows, he felt no difference between the Tibetan feeling
and expression of sympathy and that of Europeans.  A stronger
testimony to the effect produced by his twenty-five years of loving
service could scarcely be given than our welcome in Nubra.  During
the dangerous illness which followed, anxious faces thronged his
humble doorway as early as break of day, and the stream of friendly
inquiries never ceased till sunset, and when he died the people of
Ladak and Nubra wept and 'made a great mourning for him,' as for
their truest friend. 

{2} For these and other curious details concerning Tibetan customs I
am indebted to the kindness and careful investigations of the late
Rev.  W.  Redslob, of Leh, and the Rev.  A.  Heyde, of Kylang.
