I don't know," Susan said in great confusion. "You'll probably see Lydia Lord there," pursued Mrs. Lancaster, presently. "She's seeing Mrs. Lawrence's cousins off." "On the Nippon Maru?" Susan asked nervously. "How you do remember names, Sue! Yes, Lydia's going down." "I'd go with you, Sue, if it wasn't for those turkeys to stuff," said Mary Lou. "I do love a big ship!" "Oh, I wish you could!"
Martie had been eagerly awaiting that luncheon, when a dozen of the prominent young matrons of Monroe should learn of her engagement. She put up the telephone thoughtfully. Another delay. Another respite, when she might still say to herself over and over: "I COULD end it now. It isn't too late yet!" In her hand to-day was a brief note brought to land by the tender of the Nippon Maru.
Her face flushed a little and she seemed on the point of argument, but she only said: "Yes, I suppose that is better." The evening before the Nippon Maru was due in the Hawaiian port there was no moon, but all the softly blazing stars of the tropics were kindled in the sky and the phosphor waters of the Pacific played in an exquisite echo of light.

My companion made a telescope of his two hands and examined the Nippon Maru.
He saw Togo's gray ships, with the sun-banner of Nippon, ploughing the waves of the Pacific; he saw the tremendous many-hued picture of a great international struggle; he saw regiments rush upon each other and clash on the vast prairies; he saw bayonets flashing in the sun; and he saw glittering troops of cavalry galloping over the bleak plains.
You have a letter which does not belong to you. Give it to me. "'Does it belong to you? asked Kimaga, his desire putting armor on his fear. "'That is not to be asked, replied the man. 'I am samurai. For the glory of Nippon you mus' give me the letter. "But Kimaga did not wish to let the letter go. 'How do you know that I have it? he said. 'You have not seen it.
In the stillness of the garden, amid the balmy peacefulness of these mountains, a loud noise suddenly startles us; a unique, powerful, terrible sound, which is prolonged in infinite metallic vibrations. It begins again, sounding more appalling: 'Boum! borne to us by the rising wind. "Nippon Kane!" exclaims Chrysantheme and she again takes up her brightly feathered arrows.
Talk about your Russians say, wouldn't they give you a painsky when it comes to a scrapovitch?" Not even on the fair island of Nippon was there a more enthusiastic champion of the Mikado's men. Supporters of the Russian cause did well to keep clear of Engine-House No. 99. Sometimes all thoughts of the Japs left John Byrnes's head.
The girl was given little opportunity to examine her new prison, for scarce had the guards withdrawn than Oda Yorimoto approached and grasped her by the arm. "Come!" he said, in Japanese that was sufficiently similar to modern Nippon to be easily understood by Barbara Harding. With the word he drew her toward a sleeping mat on a raised platform at one side of the room.
He fitted out a great armada and sailed for Nippon; but, as in the case of the famous Spanish Armada, a storm arose, and the entire fleet was wrecked. Hundreds of thousands of Chinese lost their lives, and Japan was saved.
