Brand New Book. Excerpt from Memories, Vol. 2 Sir Harry used every endeavour to impress upon the Kaga representatives the desirability Of entering into friendly relations with foreigners, as the Princes of Satsuma, Tosa and Uwajima had done; but his arguments were of no great avail. Kaga had evi dently not yet quite made up his mind as to which side he would take in the impending struggle the plea put forward by his agents as a reason for not opening Nanao as a port to foreign trade was that if they did SO the Government of the Tycoon would inevitably seize upon it, and take possession of what had been the birthright of Kaga since remote times. The emissaries raised every possible Objection, and the more they opposed the more determined Sir Harry was to get something out Of them. At last, after giving them the roughest edge of his tongue, which in his case meant a good deal, he said that Since they were so unfriendly he Should send two of his officials, Mr. Satow and myself, to Kanazawa and thence we should travel overland to join him at Osaka. This suggestion, as may be supposed, was not very favourably received, and the interview broke up with a little less than a Show of politeness. When the Tycoon s people, officers who had been detailed to help Commander Bullock on his surveying expedition, heard that Mr. Satow and I were to undertake this journey overland, they made a great fuss, declared that it was impossible; that they could not be answerable for our lives, and that on behalf Of their Government they must decline all responsibility. The Tycoon s writ clearly did not run in such provinces as Kaga and Echizen, through which we must pass. But these were considerations which left Sir Harry unmoved.
