One stormy day as I was trudging homeward in company with an inveterate pedestrian--a young Englishman who persisted in taking 'constitutional exercise' in all kinds of weather--he suddenly halted at the brid ge that crossed the broad moat before the Sakurada gateway and exclaimed: 'Here is the spot where was enacted the most thrilling episode in modern Japanese history. On a day like this about fourteen years ago the de facto ruler of the Japanese empire was attacked at the head of this bridge in the very midst of his guards by a band of seventeen Mito romins and was ignominously beheaded.'.Being deeply interested in his graphic account of the tragedy I eagerly read up all the narratives. .and came to the conclusion that the affair was worthy to be woven into the warp and aoof of a romance."--preface ; stamps of the Department of the Navy and bookplate of the Crew's Library of the U.S.S.
