Then
it
is
Calcutta
,
M.
Paganel
,
that
you
have
chosen
as
your
point
of
departure
on
your
travels
?
"
"
Yes
,
my
Lord
,
to
see
India
has
been
a
cherished
purpose
with
me
all
my
life
.
It
will
be
the
realization
of
my
fondest
dreams
,
to
find
myself
in
the
country
of
elephants
and
Thugs
.
"
"
Then
it
would
be
by
no
means
a
matter
of
indifference
to
you
,
to
visit
another
country
instead
.
"
"
No
,
my
Lord
;
indeed
it
would
be
very
disagreeable
,
for
I
have
letters
from
Lord
Somerset
,
the
Governor-General
,
and
also
a
commission
to
execute
for
the
Geographical
Society
.
"
"
Ah
,
you
have
a
commission
.
"
"
Yes
,
I
have
to
attempt
a
curious
and
important
journey
,
the
plan
of
which
has
been
drawn
up
by
my
learned
friend
and
colleague
,
M.
Vivien
de
Saint
Martin
.
I
am
to
pursue
the
track
of
the
Schlaginweit
Brothers
;
and
Colonels
Waugh
and
Webb
,
and
Hodgson
;
and
Huc
and
Gabet
,
the
missionaries
;
and
Moorecroft
and
M.
Jules
Remy
,
and
so
many
celebrated
travelers
.
I
mean
to
try
and
succeed
where
Krick
,
the
missionary
so
unfortunately
failed
in
1846
;
in
a
word
,
I
want
to
follow
the
course
of
the
river
Yarou-Dzangbo-Tchou
,
which
waters
Thibet
for
a
distance
of
1500
kilometres
,
flowing
along
the
northern
base
of
the
Himalayas
,
and
to
find
out
at
last
whether
this
river
does
not
join
itself
to
the
Brahmapoutre
in
the
northeast
of
As-sam
.
The
gold
medal
,
my
Lord
,
is
promised
to
the
traveler
who
will
succeed
in
ascertaining
a
fact
which
is
one
of
the
greatest
DESIDERATA
to
the
geography
of
India
.
"
Paganel
was
magnificent
.
He
spoke
with
superb
animation
,
soaring
away
on
the
wings
of
imagination
.
It
would
have
been
as
impossible
to
stop
him
as
to
stop
the
Rhine
at
the
Falls
of
Schaffhausen
.
"
Monsieur
Jacques
Paganel
,
"
said
Lord
Glenarvan
,
after
a
brief
pause
,
"
that
would
certainly
be
a
grand
achievement
,
and
you
would
confer
a
great
boon
on
science
,
but
I
should
not
like
to
allow
you
to
be
laboring
under
a
mistake
any
longer
,
and
I
must
tell
you
,
therefore
,
that
for
the
present
at
least
,
you
must
give
up
the
pleasure
of
a
visit
to
India
.
"
"
Give
it
up
.
And
why
?
