Scenes From the Chiushingura and the Story of Forty-Seven Ronin
Murdoch headed a deputation to the Captain, without any effect being produced except a volley of curses, for the man was a bully and did not know that he was talking to a journalist.
When, therefore, Murdoch went ashore at the next port and, having purchased a first-class ticket at the agency, appeared in the saloon attired in the usual costume of ocean travellers instead of the garments he had worn in the steerage, the Captain was at first almost speechless with indignation.
Murdoch’s first employment in Japan was that of a teacher in the Middle School at Nakatsu in [Oita prefecture in] Kyushu which had been established by the former daimyo.
