THE LIFE OF A RON1N. 195 "Did any one flinch?" " None that I saw ; but in previous years, when some of the same Kirishitan sect from Corea fled to our country, a number of the people refused to tread on the plate and were imprisoned. I have heard also that lately some of the villagers near the city avoid going under the Shinto temple gates, which is not a good sign." Emerging from the cave, the two travelers returned to their inn, paid their bills, and set out over the Hakon mountains for Kamakura. Here they spent a day visiting the renowned shrines and temples, especially that of Hachiman, the tombs of Yoritomo and other heroes, and in looking at the his- torical relics preserved in the museum. Among these were a He'ik^ red banner made of bamboo thread, a war-coat of Yoritomo, a drum belonging to Nitta, besides masks, carvings, and weapons. They also studied carefully the strategic position of the place which for nearly four hundred years had been a great city, and the chief seat of military power in Japan. Honda's eyes danced with delight and his heart was full as he traced the path of his hero Nitta's valor, and walked over the ground on which he had once stood, when in the year 1333 A.D., as a loyal soldier of the Mikado, fighting- to restore the Mikado to supreme rights and power, he had stormed Kamakura and captured it from the Hojo usurpers. On the night before the attack, when the fortified hills and cliffs at the point of laud called Inamura Saki and the fleets of war-junks on the water seemed to
