and Japan on the other gave it a military and
political importance, the extent of which may
be even better appreciated to-day than twelve
years ago, we felt that time spent in such a
country could not possibly be wasted.
On March 19, 1886, we left Calcutta, and
early in May found ourselves at Newchwang,
the treaty port of Manchuria. This was to be
the base of operations, and we were fortunate
enough to be joined here by Mr. H. Fulford,
of the Chinese Consular Service, an officer who
spoke Chinese thoroughly well, knew all the
customs of the country, and was able to give
us that assistance which as strangers in the
land we so much needed.
It is not, however, my intention to give a
full detailed account of our journey in Man-
churia, for that has already been done by Mr.
James in his book, " The Long White Moun-
tain," in which will be found not only a
description of our travels, but a fund of in-
formation about the history, the religion, and
the customs of the people. I shall merely
supplement his more important work with a
few of the impressions which were left upon
me personally.
