go-round with elephants instead of horses ena a huge tin robot 
ft whose tummy you threw crockery balls. If you hit the right spot, 
the figure screeched, raised one fend, and stuck out ms tongue. 
In the evening we dined at Koyokwen, after a most ^^esting 
wall through the Motomachi a crowded shopping district where we 
bought frat pencils and tabes - the sock with divided toes.

We awoke to find ourselves sailing through tne > Inland Sea, 
spent all day admiring it. Morning was rainy and misty, but in the 
afternoon the sun came out, and we were constanly in sight ol 
mountainous islands, some so close we could almost touch them.. Most 
of them looked completely barren, but they support a large P°^-U- 
tion of fishermen, and there were junks with picturesque dark Sells, 
close 'to us most of the time.
