PLATE II. 



l'ig. 1. — The stoue-AvalIed, thriving euiiuna of ('hhyiuig-nön (p^Jff,), located 

 ou the southern foot of :i g-r.initic mountain (p. 21). The low neck 

 of the mountain is the granitic Tvnl-th()-ch]ii ])ass (K).") m) Avliicli 

 leads northwards to the Ku-ryong copper min(^ (p. 2"2). 



Fig. 2. — The western continuation of Fig. 1, with the well-known Chyim- 

 chvu-san (^ '^ \[\) in full view. The latter is built up of masanite 

 covered half Avay up by green porphyrite (p. 22). Both rocks can 

 be easily distinguished in field by the difference in colors. It is 

 one of the characteristic bare mountains of Korea. Tt is a pro- 

 minent point seen from a distance. 



Fig. o. — View northwards from the granitic Pam-chhi ]x\ss towards 

 Ma-san-pho and the bay of the same name. To the left, on the 

 delta-like sloping plain, streets, large and small, had l)een laid 

 out for the new foreign settlement, Uöl-gyöng-dcMig, though only 

 a few houses had been built at the time of my visit in 1901 (p, 2G). 

 x\ little further northwards an isolated granitic hill is seen on which 

 was built a fortress during the invasion of Hidej'oshi, ami at its 

 eastern foot is situated the populous native village of Ma-san-pho. 

 This was formerly called Hap-pbo (^"{[fj), and is the plac(^ where 

 the combined forces under the Mongol and Korean generals made 

 their preparations and set sail for the ever m.emoralile invasion of 

 Hakata, northern Kyû-shû (p. 24). This was the first and the 

 last attack of any historical note made by foreign jiowers on 

 •Fa pan. 



The mountain faintly seen in the middle of the background 

 is Chyön-chyu-san (fig. 2). To the right in the shadow of a 

 tree is seen the inlet of Pam-ku-mi, the much talked of Ilussiaù 

 naval station, now entirely abandoned. I took this ])hoto with 

 some risk in 1901.
