" As the autumn passed the weather began to turn very wintry, and by about the tenth of December all the rivers were frozen. Snow had fallen and we were practically shut up for the winter, even then we always found there was plenty to be done, and some passing event of interest. A Japanese dinner, for example, would be got up with every dish Japanese-cooked, or our Corean staff would give a dinner or some kind of entertainment, and taken all round we were a very contented, if not happy, party. ...During the latter part of November we were suprised one day to receive a telegram from a brother Mining Engineer to say that he and his wife were in Seoul, and would like to pay us a visit. It was very cold, the rivers were already beginning to freeze, and there was no wheeled or sleigh traffic, for the Coreans have not learnt the use of the sleigh and only the use of wheels in a very crude cart. So our friends had a most formidable journey to make in order to reach us ; they would have to ride the whole way, and in intense cold for the thermometer then registered many degrees below zero.
