CHAPTER XI. 
PAGE 
Something about the Anahirima group of islands, and climbing hills — 
Also a word in regard to Loo-chooans, and two missionaries who 
resided among them, and how it was that we left Loo-choo and 
arrived in Japan 180 
CHAPTER XII. 
We land in Japan, and visit a number of Americans and one Russian — 
“ Mahomet and the mountain” differ as to the most pleasant direction 
for a stroll, and finally part company, to the evident annoyance of 
the latter 203 
CHAPTER XIII. 
Something about buying and selling in Japan, and how they used Com- 
modore Perry’s treaty to swindle us — Also, how they ash foreigners 
to let people enjoy their meals in quiet, and how a foreigner felt 
unusually small 221 
CHAPTER XIV. 
Something about baths and bathing in Japan, and how they objected to 
our surveying their coasts — How we overcame their objections, and 
how Tatz-nosky took several long rides — How Hunsby discovered 
land, and how the “old John” crossed the Straits of T’Sugar 241 
CHAPTER XV. 
How brass buttons are valued in Japan, and bow partridges are there 
transformed into singing-birds — IIow we visited a sea-god’s temple, 
and how a German explorer preferred remaining outside — How some 
Americans leaned on Commodore Perry’s treaty, and how it gave 
way under them 270 
CHAPTER XVI. 
We pass before the great city of Matsmai, to the wonder of the Japa- 
nese, continue to the northward along the west coast of the island of 
Jesso, beat a Japanese officer on the head, and finally arrive at the 
town of Tomari, where we have a good look at the Ainu, or “hairy 
Kuriles” — The last of Japan and the commencement of a heavy fog... 295
