6) This morning a clear day gave a fine view of Mt. Fuji, which has a new lot of snow splending half way down its slopes as due to the recent storm of Sunday. In my garden I saw a beautiful display of immense chrysanthemum in bloom with Fuji's brown peak almeria in the far distance. 7) The Tenyo Maru still remains stuck in the mud at Smatoza Point, 12 miles below Yokohama. Another fine clear bracing day made sight seeing a pleasure & I took a walk along the bluff down to Mississippi Bay. There are Japanese homes & Nice fields all the way after the European houses on the bluff are passed.
