Die Bauern aus vierzig Jahrhunderten oder die permanente Landwirtschaft in China, Korea und Japan mit tiefem Boden waren unsere erste große Überraschung. Nach Süden um den Punkt herum herrschten ähnliche Bedingungen, nachdem wir nordwärts in die tiefe Bucht abbiegen konnten, und bei Tenoclock standen wir vor Uraga, wo Commodore Perry am 8. Juli, im Lager des Shogun Präsidenten Fillmoresletter, der die Türen Japans dem Handel von Theworld öffnete.

As the Tosa Maru drew alongside the pier at Yokohamait was raining hard and an army attired after the manner ofRobinson Crusoe, dressed as seen in Fig. 1, awaited us ready tocarry us to the Customs house and beyond for one, two, three orfive cents. Through the kindness of Captain Harrison of the Tosa Maruin calling an interpreter by wireless to meet the steamer, it waspossible to utilize the entire interval of our stay in Yokohamato the best advantage in the fields and gardens spread over theeighteen miles of plain extending to Tokyo.
