The famous gibe of a British Consul in an official report, that the Korean coins might be divided into good, good counterfeits, bad counterfeits, and counterfeits so bad that they can only be passed off in the dark, was by no means an effort of imagination.
Still, I am bound to say that, from all I can learn, it looks as though the Korean rebels have a genuine grievance, and that the country might be all the better for a drastic change of government; so that I am really very undecided what to do, Dick.
"Pray morning, noon and night, and fast on Sundays" was the notice to the Christians. Other appeals ran: "Think, dear Korean brothers! "What place have we or our children? Where can we speak? What has become of our land? "Fellow countrymen, we are of one blood. Can we be indifferent? At this time, how can you Japanese show such ill feeling and such treachery?
There was an F-84 on the line ready to scramble, the man on the phone said, and one of the pilots, a World War II and Korean veteran, wanted to go up and see a flying saucer. The controller said, "O.K., go." In a minute or two the F-84 was airborne and the controller was working him toward the light. The pilot saw it right away and closed in.
Occupations were hereditary; artizans were grouped into guilds perhaps we might even say castes; and each guild or caste then probably had in patron-deity. In some cases the craft-gods may have been ancestors of Japanese craftsmen; in other cases they were perhaps of Korean or Chinese origin, ancestral gods of immigrant artizans, who brought their cults with them to Japan.
"Korean men will shoot you and then will kill me because my hair is cut" The rebels were reported to be killing all men not wearing topknots. Exit Wo. Some one recommended Han, also with a great hunting record. But when Han heard the destination he promptly withdrew. Sin was a good boy out of place. Sin was sent for, but forwarded apologies for not coming.
The story of Japan's relations with Korea includes many references to Korean prisoners who became the property of their captors, and that a victorious general's spoils should comprise some slaves may be described as a recognized custom. The whole family of such an offender shared his fate.
Another old woman was brought to prison for yelling "Mansei!" When they asked her why she yelled "Mansei" she answered in a sentence that sums up the entire spirit that is in the woman-heart of Korea. "I have only one word in my head and that is 'Mansei!" I personally, one day in Korea, saw the Japanese gendarmes come for a Korean girl.
Any Korean taken to the police station can, in practice, be kept in custody as long as wanted, without trial, and then can be released without trial, or can be summarily punished without trial by the police. The usual punishment is flogging only Koreans and not Japanese or foreigners are liable to be flogged.
Give my love to Mary and Elizabeth!" she cried to the missionary woman standing by, helpless to assist her. These two names were children of the missionary home; children whom this Korean girl had learned to love as she lived in this American home.
