<p>After my <placeName ref="#DEN">Denver</placeName> sickness, <persName ref="#JUN">I</persName> began to build up in health at once, and was in good trim for the voyage by the time we reached <placeName ref="#SAN">San Francisco</placeName>. I was not seasick, so enjoyed the voyage thoroughly. When we reached Japan, we found we had a week to wait for the steamer “<objectName ref="#OW">Owari Maru.</objectName>” We spent the time sight-seeing and, better still, Missionary-seeing. Our stay in <placeName ref="#NAG">Nagoya</placeName> was very pleasant indeed. We reached <placeName ref="#KOB">Kobe</placeName> October 26th, and found that the Owari sailed at 3 the next morning, and that she could only take three of our party of nine(six of <orgName ref="#SP">our own Church</orgName>, and three from the <orgName ref="#NP">Northern Board</orgName>). As <persName ref="#MJN">Mrs. J.</persName> was not thoroughly over nursing me, I thought it best to give way to the rest of our party-the Northern friends also kindly giving away. So Brother <persName ref="#REY">Reynolds</persName> and <persName ref="#MRE">wife</persName> and <persName ref="#TAT">Mr. Tate</persName> embarked. At 9:30 o’clock that night, however, we received notice that four passengers had decided to wait for the next boat; so by the help of Brother Grinnan we secured their tickets, and we on board by 11 p.m. Early next morning, when we were far from Kobe, Messrs. Reynolds and Tate wrote cards to us, and were preparing to telegraph us that our baggage has been put on by mistake, and that they would look after it. They were considerably surprised when we walked in for breakfast.</p>
<p>The captain and officers of this boat were Japanese, and were very kind to us. It seemed to please them if they could do anything for our comfort. We have since learned that the captain is a Christian. He came to service Sunday in his best suit of clothes. At <placeName ref="#FUS">Fusan</placeName> we were entertained by <persName ref="#BER">Mrs. Baird</persName> and <persName ref="#BRO">Dr.</persName> and <persName ref="#MBR">Mrs. Brown</persName>, of the Northern Mission. We reached <placeName ref="#CHE">Chemulpo</placeName> Wednesday morning and started for Seoul in a Japanese steamer at 12 that night. As the ladies occupied the cabin floor, the gentlemen sat on deck, shivering and longing for the morning. We reached Seoul at 8 A.M., and were met by a committee from the Northern Mission, and escorted to the city (three and a half miles)--the ladies in chairs, the baggage on the backs of men and ponies, and we men on foot. Arrangements had been made for us, and we were made comfortable and at home by our good friends, until we moved into our house.</p>
<p>We moved the following Friday into the <persName ref="#MAR">Maertins</persName> house. It was formerly the residence of the <placeName ref="#GER">German Legation</placeName>. It has six large rooms, stone foundation (4 feet high), coal-cellars underneath, plank floor (Korean boards, 1 ½ x 1 ft.) and tile roof. It is one of the most substantial houses in Seoul, though not conveniently ard, since all rooms are in a row. We are very comfortably situated, though crowded, and can have neither sitting room, study nor parlor. The house is 1 ½ miles from any other mission, and a good place for us to locate. I cannot say that I think it is as healthy as the quarters occupied by the other mission. It is down in the city---they are up on the hill. However, as it has a large yard, a high compound and school grounds back of it, I think we can live here -- certainly in winter. Sewage, or rather no sewage, makes it a question whether Seoul will be habitable in summer. The streets are simply awful.</p>
<p>We organized our mission, with Brother Reynolds as chairman, Tate as treasurer, I as secretary. We were overwhelmed with applicants for the place of teacher, and are all working on the language. We find it exceedingly hard--harder than Chinese, all think who know both languages. this is owing to the fact that Chinese is the Latin of Korean (Choson mal), and the dreadful fact that high, middle and low talk is to be learned -- i.e., verbs, adjectives, etc., have a high form, a low form and a middle. But cha, cha, cha, cha (little by little), as the Koreans say, we hope to get it.</p>

<p><placeName ref="#DEN">덴버</placeName>에서 앓고 난 후 <persName ref="#JUN">저</persName>는 곧 회복하기 시작했고, <placeName ref="#SAN">샌프란시스코</placeName>에 도착했을 때쯤에는 항해할 준비가 되어 있었습니다. 저는 배 멀미를 하지 않아서 항해는 아주 즐거웠습니다. 일본에 도착했을 때, 우리는 "<objectName ref="#OW">오와리마루</objectName>"라는 기선을 일주일 동안 기다려야 했습니다. 우리는 관광을 하며 시간을 보냈고, 특별히 그곳의 선교사들을 보았던 것이 좋았습니다. <placeName ref="#NAG">나고야</placeName>에서 머무는 것은 정말 즐거웠습니다. 우리는 10월 26일에 <placeName ref="#KOB">고베</placeName>에 도착했고, <orgName ref="#NP">북부 교단</orgName> 3명과 <orgName ref="#SP">우리 교단</orgName>의 6명으로 이루어진 총 9명의 일행 중 3명만이 다음 날 아침 3시에 항해를 시작하는 오와리에 탑승할 수 있다는 것을 알게 되었습니다. <persName ref="#MJN">전킨여사</persName>가 저를 계속 간호해야 되어서 저는 다른 일행에게 양보하는 것이 최선이라고 생각했습니다. 북장로교 친구들도 친절하게 양보를 하려 했었지만요. 그래서 <persName ref="#REY">레이놀즈</persName> 형제와 <persName ref="#MRE">그의 아내</persName>, 그리고 <persName ref="#TAT">테이트</persName> 선생이 출발했습니다. 그러나 우리는 그날 밤 9시 30분에, 4명의 승객이 다음 배를 타기로 했다는 통지를 받았습니다. 그래서 우리는 그리낸 형제의 도움을 받아 배표를 확보하여 밤 11시 전에 승선했습니다. 다음 날 아침 일찍 배가 고베에서 멀어졌을 때, 레이놀즈 선생과 테이트 선생이 우리에게 보낼 엽서를 썼고, 실수로 배에 실려 있던 우리의 짐을 그들이 챙길 것이라고 알리려 전보도 치려고 준비하고 있었습니다. 그런데 우리가 아침을 먹으러 들어가자, 그들은 매우 놀라워했습니다.</p>
<p>배의 선장과 장교들은 일본인이었는데 매우 친절했습니다. 그들은 우리가 편안하도록 무슨 일이라도 즐겁게 할 것 같았습니다. 나중에 우리는 선장이 기독교인이라는 것을 알게 되었습니다. 그는 가장 좋은 옷을 입고 주일날 예배를 드리러 왔습니다. <placeName ref="#FUS">부산</placeName>에서는 북장로교의 <persName ref="#BER">베어드 부인</persName>과 <persName ref="#BRO">브라운</persName>박사님 <persName ref="#MBR">부부</persName>의 접대를 받았습니다. 우리는 수요일 아침에 <placeName ref="#CHE">제물포</placeName>에 도착했고, 그날 자정에 일본 기선을 타고 서울로 출발했습니다. 여성들이 객실을 차지하고 있었기에 남성들은 갑판 위에 앉아 떨며 아침을 기다렸습니다. 아침 8시에 서울에 도착했을 때 북장로교 선교 위원회 분이 맞아주었고, 시내까지 3마일 반 정도 되는 거리의 안내를 받았습니다. 여자들은 의자에 앉아서, 짐은 지게꾼과 조랑말에, 남자들은 걸어서 갔습니다. 좋은 친구들은 우리가 편하게 지낼 수 있도록 준비를 해 주었고, 우리는 우리의 집으로 이사 오기 전까지 그곳에서 마음 편하게 지냈습니다.</p>
<p>우리는 그다음 금요일에 <persName ref="#MAR">머틴즈</persName>집으로 이사했습니다. 원래 <placeName ref="#GER">독일 공사관</placeName> 사택이었던 그 집은 6개의 큰 방, 석조 기단(높이 4피트), 그 밑의 석탄 셀라, 널빤지 바닥(한국식 판, 1½x1피트) 그리고 기와지붕으로 되어있습니다. 모든 방이 일렬로 늘어서 있어 편리하지는 않지만, 서울에서 실속 있게 지은 집 중 하나입니다. 복잡하기는 하지만 매우 편안하고, 거실, 서재, 응접실도 없습니다. 집은 다른 선교부와 1마일 반 떨어져 있어서 우리가 자리 잡기 좋은 장소입니다. 언덕 위에 있는 다른 선교부의 숙소와 달리 우리 숙소는 도시 아래쪽에 있기 때문에 건강에 좋다고 할 수는 없지만, 넓은 마당, 높은 복합 건물, 학교가 뒤편에 있어서, 여기서, 특히 겨울에는 살만하다고 생각합니다. 하수도, 아니 하수가 없기 때문에 서울이 여름에는 살만한지 의문입니다. 거리는 그야말로 끔찍합니다.</p>
<p>우리는 레이놀즈 형제가 회장, 테이트는 회계, 제가 총무로 선교부 체제를 구성하였습니다. 교사 자리에 지원자가 몰려 놀랐는데, 지금은 모두 언어 공부를 하고 있습니다. 언어는 매우 어렵습니다. 두 언어를 아는 사람들은 한국어가 중국어보다 어렵다고들 합니다. 그 이유는 중국어가 한국어(조선말)의 라틴어 같고, 무시무시한 높임말(존댓말), 중간, 낮춤말(반말)을 모두 배워야 하기 때문입니다. 예를 들어 동사와 형용사 등은 존댓말, 중간, 반말을 갖고 있습니다. 하지만 한국인들이 말하듯 ‘차차차차(조금씩)’ 습득할 것을 희망하고 있습니다.</p>
