Transcribed by Ann Selchick. Geo. THE NORTHERN NEWS, OCTOBER 9, 1897. ENGLISH TRAVELLER TORTURED IN THIBET. _____ A letter has been received in Bombay from Mr. Henry Savage LANDOR, who has just reached the frontier of India after an unsuccessful attempt to make his way into Lhassa, the Thibetan capital. Of thirty men who started with Mr. LANDOR, twenty-eight abandoned him a few days after crossing the frontier of Thibet. Mr. LANDOR made fifty-six marches with only one bearer and a sick coolie. He lost all his provisions, and was then made a prisoner, together with his men. All three were put in chains and sentenced to death. Mr. LANDOR was led to the execution ground, but at the last moment the Grand Llama intervened, and commuted the sentence of decapitation to torture on the rack. This injured his spine, legs, feet, arms and hands. Mr. LANDOR remained chained up for eight days and his servants for eighteen. In the end the prisoners were released, and Mr. LANDOR is now back in India, with twenty-two wounds. _____
