JOURNEYS THROUGH KOREA. 1 03 



the Nak- long -gang ^\ On a flat-topped, isolated butte-like liill (PI. 

 XXIV. fig. 1; the strike N. 20° E., the dip S.E.) between the bridge 

 and the eumnäl, overlooking the surrounding Alluvium is the 

 ancient fortress of Cheung-song "^ v^here the struggle centred in the 

 closing pjiase of Hideyoshi's invasion. It was into this fortress 

 that the Japanese army was driven by the combined forces of the 

 Chinese and Koreans. When the garrison was reduced to the 

 extreme of famine, a reënforcement imder Katô arrived just in 

 time and defeating tlie besiegers on February 9th, 1598, reliev- 

 ed the Japanese. This final success on our part brought the 

 great war to an end. 



Tlie liill of " The Left Garrison " and CJieung-söng, the flat 

 elevatian around Ulsan and the inlet as well as the flat of 

 Kgöng-jgu, and the stepped terrace of Sö-chhang to be mentioned 

 later — all sliow signs of once having been subjected to extensive 

 erosion and subsequently to the upheaval of tlie . east coast. 



Proceeding southwards through the eiimnäi of Ulsan, and ul-san 

 round a hill-edge of the same "red formation," we met with a 

 river in a transverse valley coming from tlie direction of On-yang^'\ 

 We pushed along the bank of the Tal-hoa-chlnjön *^ river for 2 km, 

 seeing in front of us the inner Tai-paik-san ridge running regularly 

 in the north-south direction and cut deeply by the valley of the 

 Un-mun-chJd^^ pass of Cha-in. We, however, turned southwards 

 to Fusan crossing the riven at Sam-pho-dari where the red forma- 

 tion (the strike N.W. — S.E., and the dip. slow to N.E.) is intruded 

 by a buff-colored aplitic masanite, another evidence of the j^oung 

 •diie of masanite.
