" they asked, mentioning two jjlaees at a great distance from the caijital. The reply, after consulting with the invisible commodore, was : — " Never mind about those places. The spot oppo- site us will do as well as any other." Landing of the Americans at Uraga This answer did not suit. The Japanese tried flattery, coa.xing, little presents, all to no avail. Finally they were told that the Great Man would very much like to have matters arranged by February 21 ; that, in fact, he would take no ...refusal. And so the Japa- nese sighed : " Well, it can't be helped ! But where zuill you have it ? " " Oh ! " replied the commodore, still invisible, " I think that Yedo would be the best 205 place." But that would not do at all. Perry sent some of his men ashore at Uraga (Oo-rah-gah) to confer about a meeting place and \vaited until February 24 ; then he advanced another eight miles, anchoring a little be- yond Yokohama. Afraid that he would go still nearer to the capital, the government yielded, and the negotia- tions were held at Yokohama, which is only a short dis- tance from Yedo.
