“He made the Sporting Novel something so entirely different to what it had been that he must be recognised as the originator of a new species more elevated, more refined, and more largely imbued with the spirit of modern society. No reader can take up any one of his best stories without feeling himself in a fresh atmosphere, and on a higher range of thought and feeling than he was conscious of in the sporting writers of the preceding generation.”—Standard.

“What is most rare in writers of this class Whyte-Melville possessed to a considerable degree, namely, the ability to hold the attention of readers, whether they were sportsmen or not.”—Saturday Review.

“An edition more worthy of the novelist has certainly not been issued before.”—World.

“Fulfils every requirement of the book-lover in paper, type, illustrations, and binding.”—Saturday Review.

Footnotes:

[1] The message was to the Shogun, whom all foreigners regarded as the Emperor.

[2] “Official Narrative of the Japan Expedition.”

[3] He was, however, court-martialled and punished for refusing to fight.

[4] [See Personal Characteristics].

[5] Pronounced “Dēēn-Jho,” but the exact sound cannot be rendered.

[6] Pronounced Fōō-Só.

[7] [See Chino-Japanese War].

[8] Pronounced “Hēē-Yey.”

[9] In the plans generally published of these ships this order is, in error, reversed.

[10] These replaced four non-quickfiring guns.

[11] Pronounced Maï’yà.

[12] Ak-à-gēē.

[13] At-à-go.

[14] Tchio’ka’i.

[15] It was currently reported, and for a long time believed in Japan, that the Unebi had been captured by the Chinese and taken into one of their harbours. Another report was to the effect that the Chinese had waylaid and destroyed her—a not impossible incident. A typhoon is, however, a more likely cause. It may be remembered that our gunboat Wasp mysteriously disappeared in Far Eastern waters, and nothing was ever heard as to how she perished.

[16] Now Belleville.

[17] Now the Sai Yen.

[18] Admiral in command of the main fleet in February, 1904.

[19] [See Appendix for Chinese version of this affair].

[20] Except in the case of the first two, only by courtesy so called.

[21] Rear-Admiral Tsuboi.

[22] Vice-Admiral Ito.

[23] Vice-Admiral Count Kabayama.

[24] Admiral Ting.

[25] Some of the dead were not removed for a fortnight.

[26] Tau means island.

[27] See this chapter for the reason why.

[28] Not in Iwate and Idzumo.

[29] Might also be transliterated “su,” “s” having the pronunciation of “tch” here.

[30] The drift of ultra-civilisation is towards peace and the arts. The man of action must embody something of the savage, and the seeker after universal peace draws his chief recruits from the ranks of those who supply those luxuries of life that civilisation makes into necessaries.

[31] [See p. 310], where the food question is fully gone into.

[32] “The Tadpole of an Archangel,” by Major Drury, R.M.L.I.

[33] Those who come from the South are usually nicknamed “Russians.”

[34] The following I can vouch for, as I heard it myself:—A certain warrant man in one of our destroyers came off leave one morning a little late, and thus explained himself to his skipper: “I was waiting for the train all right, sir, when some silly fool walking across the line got run over by a train coming the other way. It took both his legs off, and there was he and the legs lying on the line. I stood there laughing so that I clean forgot my train.” This is not exactly typical, but we have a good many such Mark Tapleys in the R.N.

[35] These Samaurai, or officer class—there were three classes in Japan: (1) the nobles, descendants of rulers of provinces; (2) the officer class; (3) the common people—for generation after generation lived very uncertain lives; they were liable to be killed at any moment once they left their homes. In addition, they were used to killing, having the right to do so at pleasure. If they unsheathed their swords, they could not replace them until they had killed some one. Possessing this power, it is little wonder that a strong sense of dignity was acquired with it.

[36] Matsushima class.

[37] In Fuji to Mikasa.

[38] Chin Yen.

[39] Hei Yen, Naniwa, Takachiho.

[40] Matsushima class.

[41] Expressed before the Russo-Japanese War.

[42] All have two tubes (18-in.), one 12-pdr. aft, and five 3-pdrs.

[43] J = built in Japan.

[44] The original Niji was wrecked in 1901.

[45] Except the Kotaka and the Krupp boat, which have six tubes (14-in.), all carry three tubes (14-in.).
