This picture is from a hill overlooking the rooftops of a neighborhood on the shore. The sea looks like a lake because on the right side of the picture the land curves up around the water to a hilly shore on the other side of the water. On the left side of the picture, however, the water reaches the left edge of the picture. In the upper right corner, a map is sketched. It shows Korea is near Japan and that Fusan is in the southeast of the Korean peninsula.

for there is now a railway in construction that will make this obscure port one of the termini of the Trans-Asiatic line, surpassing Vladivostok and Port Arthur in point of proximity to the main traveled waterways of the Far Eastern Seas.

In this photo, several black men are standing around on the sidewalk of a concrete boat dock in China. The dock is in the center and left of the photo; the water is on the right side of the photo. A stairwell next to the water is inset in the dock. On the far side of the stairwell is the top of the stairs. Two black men, facing the viewer, are carrying suitcases down the stairs. The water is calm. Rowboats are tied along the concrete dock, from near to about six rowboats away. Then, the seawall makes a right turn. Beyond the water and the dock are wooden buildings at the top of the photo. They are one and two stories high. A map is sketched lower left which shows where Chi-fu is in relation to Seoul.
