The stateroom was larger than the berth much wider than usual & very comfortable. There were only some dozen 1st class passengers, all Japs except me. In the morning we reached the inland sea & steamed up to Shimonoseki quay at 7:30. The passengers leaving the steamer were many but all 2nd & 3rd class Japs, only about 20 being Koreans (all men). Some of the Japanese were met by their wives but they smiled bowed profusely but they were no embraces or kisses such as we engage in, usually.
