Torture of Landor.
■» ■ Mr W. Savage Lander has returned to Europe. According to the London Daily Chronicle hi 3 eyes were burnt by the Thibetans and withered with hot irons. He was bound for hours to the rack, and twisted and wrenched out of all semblance to a man. He was also made to ride 80 miles in a saddle stuck over with spikes. He was ' eventually saved by a party of Englishmen who heard he was in dange. The report concludes that the condition of Mr Landor, who is staying at Florence, "is terrible. He will lose one eye, his ankles and wrists are livid from the thongs, \ and his legs are powerless." J
