Our two waakt In Japan waa on#

we worked twelve bowra a day.

more enjoyable than It bouts a dat
of steady feat ting, that one needed
time In between to assimilate impres-
sions; but my subtleties fall on deaf
ears.
The etghtb night we passed In a
Japanese sleeper, a complicated form
of torture not easily described. We
dragged ouraelvee out at 4:30 in tbe
morning after a sleepless night of tor-
ment, and began our weary round of
sightseeing. It waa at 6:30 that even-
ing that the worm, wblch waa I, turn-

I was hungry, tired, cold, wretched,
bedraggled, with every nerve crying
out for shelter; a hot bath, clean
clothes and bed. Tbe wind, which at
