Description
Excerpt from The Yankees of the East, Vol. 1: Sketches of Modern Japan
The infallible Britons, usually the most num erous, have been able to fix the etiquette and the habits of the place. They have fastened their accent and their idioms upon the common vocabulary. Their commercial travelers are for ever in evidence, while representatives of Amer ican manufacturers are few and far between. The newspaper fraternity is represented by cor respondents of English, French and American papers. There are usually several naval officers bound outward to join their ships or homeward after a cruise in the Asiatic seas, and diplomat ists en route to or from their stations. The wives of the navies of all nations make their temporary home there while their husbands are in the east, because of the social attractions and the convenient location of Yokohama and sev eral people with money and leisure live there continually because they like the climate and the customs of Japan.
