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.
