CHAPTER LIII THE DISCOVERY OF THE SOURCE OF THE INDUS Immediately on my arrival in Khaleb I told the old gova,who had the hopeless and thankless task of watching myproceedings, that I now intended to take the road pastSingi-kabab, or the source of the Indus. If you go thither, Bombo, he answered, 1 shallat once send a courier to the Garpuns, the two chiefs inGartok. I do not think that the Garpuns will have anyobjection to my taking a more northerly route. Oh yes, the Garpuns received orders from Lhasa fivedays ago to watch carefully that you followed no otherway but the great high-road to Gartok. The Garpunsstraightway sent couriers to twelve different places—Parka, Misser, Purang, Singtod, and others—to make itknown that you were not permitted to travel on byroads.If this letter had not reached me, I would willingly havelet you march northwards, but now I dare not for my ownsake. What would you do if I quietly disappeared onenight ?
