by Japan, that of Korea, A. D. 201,
says the London Chronicle Dressed
as a man, she led her fleet over the
unknown waters, across which she
alone believed a country lay to the
westward, “If we succeed,” she said
to her “the glory will all be

infamy of a possible defeat” The
Koreans laid their wealth at the feet
of the conquerors, and the King sworg
that so long as the stars shone and
water ran down hill Korea should be
faithful to Japan,
This achievement: of the dauntless
empresas gave rise to the proud boast
of the Japanese “The arms of Japan
shine beyond the seas” But the
most important fruit of her victory
