DOWNLOAD EBOOKExcerpt from Narrative of the Earl of Elgin's Mission to China and Japan, Vol. 2 of 2: In the Years 1857, '58, '59 The scenery on the opposite shore is of the same character, but on a grander scale. It trends away in a series of deep bays and beetling cliffs, upon the rugged base of which the waves wage an incessant war, and surge and moan fretfully in deep caves and fissures, as though lamenting their fruitless efforts to undermine them. In charming contrast with these sterner features are grassy slopes and rice fields rising in terraces on the green hill-sides, and shady groves with blue smoke curling above them, denoting the existence of snug hamlets. Securely moored in secluded creeks, or hauled up on little patches of sandy beach, are quaint-shaped native craft others are glancing about these calm inland waters, ferrying across from islands to the main passengers and cargo.
