In the bight called Broughton's Bay we have a marked feature of the coast. Here is a superb bay capable of accommodating the navies of the world, the shore dotted

with towns and villages, the surrounditig conntry fertile and full of places of historic
interest. Fifteen of the three hundred or more of Corea's walled " cities " are found
io this province. Besides Port Lazareff and Weushan (Gieuzaii), the new treaty-port,
are old camping-grounds of the Japanese, and the neighboring cities, or fu, of Toku-
gen and the capital. Hum-fun.
