–Yes –I replied–. I was informed in Berlin. What intrigates me is how you have known it,
which means he utilizes to know in every moment the location of the expedition of Schaeffer.

–It is not a secret, neither any mysterious or sobrenatural procedure: is pure spionage;
the most classic studied case of spionage in the Course of the Security.As you already know,
since the Operation Altwesten was conceived in Germany, it was infiltrated by the S.D: we
have there two men of the Secret Service that have not awakened any suspicions in the
mistrusted Ernst Schaeffer. However, they would have not been capable to do anything without
the support of the Kâula Cyrcle, whose tentacles are extended around the whole Tibet. Are the
loyal kâulikas who transport the messages to our spies trough the Himalayas and facilitate us
permanently the localization of the expedition. I already said you, von Sübermann, that in
these countries the kâulikas are greatly feared, and their fame favours the collaboration of
supersticious dwellers. Fame that, in this sense, they are not unworthy at all, because more
than ascetics they are warrior monks and the traitors can be sure that sooner or later will die
on their hands. Then, a vast spy network has been tended around our objective.

It is convenient for you to know, von Sübermann, that the Dharma Rajah, the spiritual
chief of the entire country of Bhutan, is a secret follower of the Kâula Cyrcle and for this motive
he has destined the contiguous Palace as Residence of Winter. He hates the English intensily,
and considers them «representatives of the Demons», and he has ordered that the as help as be
possible while we remain in their Country. The second important man is the Deb Rajah, to
whom has been commissioned the Administration and the issues of the State, for what he must
stay in Punakha and bear the English, to whom he hates as much as the Dharma Rajah.

Anyhow, we count with the official safe-conduct that will let us reach to the Tibet and
even move in that country, presenting ourselves as functionaries and merchants at the service
of the Rajah.

–According to what was said –continued von Grosse– we have very little time. Ernst
Schaeffer has left from Lhasa three weeks ago, following the route towards the Chamdo, but its
march is slow because he doesn’t want that any misunderstanding ruins his visit to Chang
Shambalah: it is known that his movements are permanently watched from the Tower
Kampala. His caution becomes more comprehensible, also, if it is considered that he had to stay
one year in Lhasa, in the Palace of the Dalai Lama, until he received the authorization to
approach to Chang Shambalah: he must cross the Door and persuade his Guards that, in fact,
they count with the approval of the Masters. It is understood then, that is trying to avoid
mistakes and that he advances slowly towards to his infernal destiny.
