CHAPTER XXX. THE AMERICAN MISSIONARIES. AFTER leaving Doctor Grey's house on that afternoon in July, Honda Jiro spent the rest of the day in walking about Yokohama. He noticed with interest the streets lined with smart new houses, and filled with wheeled vehicles and carriages drawn by horses. He looked in the native shops glittering with fresh wares, and watched the foreign men at the bank, hongs, business offices, and shops. Later in the day, when they went out for a walk, horseback ride, or carriage drive before dining, he saw them at their play hour. The hairiness of their faces, the ugliness of many of them, and their curious dress and manners impressed him at first with intense dislike. When, however, he reflected on the substantial nature of their ships, stores, houses, and public build- as he occasionally saw a golden-haired child, or ings ; beautiful young girl ; noticed the freedom of all, as shown in riding on horseback and in vehicles ; and as he considered the mighty change that had passed over Yokohama, order came out of the chaos of his feeling and calm from the storm of his impressions. He went back to his inn with a determi- nation stronger than ever to know the secrets of 868

There he bought a box of sponge-cake and another of candied fruit. According to polite custom, he offered these to Doctor Grey as a reminder of his visit and obliga- tion, with the added words, " Yesterday, thank you." With Doctor Grey he then called to see the medical missionary at the latter's house. Though busy in making a dictionary of Japanese and English, and varying this literary labor by trans- lating the Gospel of Matthew, Doctor Bunner gladly welcomed the callers. A man not tall in stature, slight in figure, and genial in presence, he was also a most tireless worker and of rigid and systematic habits. After a few minutes' chat together Doctor Bunner invited Honda into the dispensary. The sight which met Honda Jiro's eyes as he entered the large room was one which made an im- pression that will last during his life. Familiar with the sight of the sick and of the dirty, of diseased, of disfigured, and of outcast humanity, Honda had indeed become by casual observation ; but he had never before made examination in detail, nor seen it so concentrated together. About two hundred men, women, children, and babies, had come for medicine, advice, and healing. Such misery and wretchedness seemed appalling. There were gray-haired hags and hobbling beggars with bleared and reddened eyes, wrinkled and puckered faces, streaming thin hair,
