After walking for about three hours longer, we arrived at a little village, which is situated on the shores of the strait separating Kumachir from the island of Jesso. Here we were led into a house, and rice bread offered us, but as our appetites were entirely gone, they took us into another room, and made us lie down near the walls, so that none of us could communicate with the others.
Yet the three islands together are larger than our island. There is a fourth island near the Japan islands, called Jesso, and it is filled with Japanese people. You know it is difficult to get into China; but it is far more difficult to get into Japan. The emperor has boats always watching round the coast, to prevent strangers coming into his country.
The trail goes by that there belt of timber, then jines the stage-road to Allewe, an' follows that a piece, then it shunts off to the west straight for the bluff thar, purty nearly a bee-line. Thirty mile, sure mebbe less." "Is that the Indian Territory 'tother side of the divide?" "Jesso Cherokee Nation." "What sort of a man is this Swanson?"
One Australian tribe buries its dead with their faces to the east; the Fijians are buried with the head and feet to the west, and many of the North American Indians follow the same custom.

The Peruvians place their mummies in a sitting position, looking to the west; the natives of Jesso also turn the head to the west.
Oh, golly, how she favors it!" "Mrs. Lumley," Amy began, "I think your housekeeping does you much credit. I've not seen a neater room anywhere." "Well, mum, my ole man's turned over a new leaf sure nuff. There's no livin' with him unless everythink is jesso, an, I guess it's better so, too. Ef I let things git slack, he gits mighty savage." "You must try to be patient, Mr. Lumley.
This ain't the first one I ever seen." Si was impressed, as he had often been before, by Shorty's superior wisdom and experience. "See here. Si," Shorty continued, as his eye suddenly lighted up with a brilliant thought, "I guess I kin make ye understand what a grayback is. What d'ye call that coat ye've got on?" "Why, that's a fool question; it's a blouse, of course!" "Jesso!" said Shorty.
These discoveries; the valuable additions which were made during the voyage of Captain Maxwell to the geography and hydrography of the Yellow Sea; the correction of the vague and incorrect notions which were long entertained respecting the isles of Jesso and the Kuriles, by the labours of La Perouse, Broughton, Krusentein, &c., and the full and minute information given to the public respecting Java, and other parts of the southern Indian archipelago, by Raffles, Craufurd, &c. seem to leave little to be added to our geographical knowledge of the eastern and southeastern portions of Asia.
"You shall not think you got me into trouble. You did not. I would have done it maself as soon as I thought of it." "I command you to tell me what has been said to you, Etienne." "They say that I shall be discharge from the rack. They say I have talk too much to my compatriots about the poison water. But I shall talk yes jesso!" "Who says so?" "The yard boss say to me that. Oh, there's no mistake.
In Central and Northern Asia and among the Ainu of Jesso, while there appears to be a recognition of the sun as divine, it is difficult to distinguish real solar divinities. In Japan mention is made of a sun-goddess but she plays an insignificant part in the religious system. +710+. The cult is more developed in Eastern and Central North America, particularly in the former region.
Among other not less important privileges, the Ziogoon gave to English merchants the following: "Free license forever safely to come into any of our ports of our Empire of Japan, with their ships and merchandise, without any hindrance to them or their goods; and to abide, buy, sell, and barter, according to their own manner with all nations; to tarry here as long as they think good, and to depart at their pleasure"; also, "that, without other passport, they shall and may set out upon the discovery of Jesso or any other port in or about our Empire". The Ziogoon also sent a letter, assuring the English monarch of his love and esteem, and announcing that every facility desired in the way of trade would be gladly granted, even to the establishment of a factory at Firando.
