SPORT IN KOREA
4
The Korean peninsula which until ten. years ago had been practically closed to foreigners has never been properly explored by sportsmen. Parties have landed from ships at the port of Wonsan on the East Coast and have made successful inroads among the thousands of wildfowl to be found there, Others have landed at Fusan, Chemulpo and the other treaty ports for the purpose of shoot. ing but few have had opportunities of journeying inland in search of the big game of the country, Missionaries have been all over it and a few travellers and prospectors. These all maintain that travelling is not a difficult matter, and that the Koreans are the easiest people in the word to get on with if treated in a friendly, and conciliatory manner.
At the present time Korea is very much be fore the public gaze. It is the bone of conten- tion between Japan and Russia, who are expect ed in declare war at any moment. The ignor ance about the country even among the Kura- pean residents of China and Japan is something extraor Ninary. Few books have ever been writen about it and as in the case of many other parts of the world, to really find out about it one has to go and see it for oneself.
Writing this in a comfortable hotel at Seoul after a short trip up-country in the company of a sportsman who has done more shorting in Korea than any other man, I may perhaps be permitted to throw a little light on the subject.
LONG HAIRID TIGERS.
The so-called long-baired ligers do exist throughout Korea, though these animals are by no means plentiful. They resemble in every way the Bengal tiger, except in the length of their coats, due to the elder climate in which they live. The hair is particularly long on the crest and withers, and varies in length all over between one and three inches. Beautiful trophies they make and a fitting reward for the expense and hardship which is necessarily involved in their pursuit.
During the last three years, five tigers have been slain by foreigners, including two killed a month ago by an Englishman. He shot the male, which measured to feel, and his hunters said that the female would assuredly be heard in the neighbourhood before long calling during the nigh. Three nights later they heard her, marked her down and killed her too.
The skins of both tigers and leopards are the monopoly of the Goverty ot, and if any are killed they have to be forwarded at once to the capital. No reward is given, so that there is no inducement for the native hunters to kill. In fact these animals are never molested un- less they have committed some depredation in a village, by cattle killing or in some other way incurring the wrath and vengeance of the villagers. They are then trapped and shot. The hunters generally load their guns with three large sluge, which necessitates a close approach to the animal. In the winter it is easy to track them up in the snow.
The Royal "kages or sedan chairs are covered with tiger skins, while the high officials of state cover theirs with those of the leopards The consequence of these Government re- strictions is that there are seldom any skins in the Korean markets, the only ones ever offered for sale being three got by japanese who may have happened to be near when the animals were shot Numbers of skins find their way to the London market, but these come as a rule from China or Manchuria and seldom, if ever, from Korea.

Though there are practically no lakes and marshes in Karea, yet wild geese and duck are to be seen in thousands on the rivers in winter | time. Grey cranc and swans are common as well. None of these birds stay to breed in the- peninsula, but go much farther north so Siberia. Most of the geese which are brought into the BOATS ENGINES, OLD BRASS, COPPER, markets in large quantities are greylag and bean geese, while some the domesticated birds show unmistakeable signs by their dark plumage of having been originally Brent or Barnacle. Mallards are very common and different varieties of leal. In one of the Fusan shops there was a bunch of a variety which 1 had never seen before. Rather larger than a common teal, whiti-h bead and crest with som yellow in it. A purple neck, green back and white underneath-a remarkably pretty bird.
The Japanese bring large quantities of wild- fowl across to their own country from Korea, and the prices are generally eighty sen or is. 6d for a brace of geese and is, for a couple of
mallard,
Great and lesser bustard are suread through. out the country and are just as wary as they are elsewhere. The Koreans, however, manage to outwit them and there are always plenty to be got in the market.
The ringed pheasant originally brought to England from China, is indigenous to all this part of the world and is very plentiful in Korea. As nobody is permitted to shoot outside the walls of the capital for fear of disturbing the Emperor, pheasants take refuge there in quite large numbers. Outside the precincts of the city within a radius of a day's wall; there is little game in be seen, as wherever there is a Japanese colony sportsmen abound, who waste ammunition in scaring everything away. It is necessary to go a couple of days' journey away to get unod sport, and even then without gand dogs it is impossible to make a bag of phevante.
In spite of the absence of jkils snipe are to be found in the spring and autumn. Just as in China they fight through Korea on their way to and from their breeding haunts in the north, to spend the winter in the warm climates of the south. They do not breed in Korea as is
often supposed.
Little is known about the bird life of this part of the world, but there is prarge field open to adventurous nraithel grats. The birds which are most conspicuous everywhere are the common English magpies. As in China, they are to be seen near every village, and their huge nests built on the tops of the bare trees are a common feature of the landscape in the winter.
In Seoul they literally swarm, even in the most crowded portions of the town. They build on every ava lable tree along the main thoroughfares and barely condescend to hop oui of one's way when walking along.
ITS PEOPLE AND THEIR CHARACTERIST.CS
Korea is a wild mountainous country fairly bicky populated. There are no large forests, only a few scattered remnants of what may have been heavily timbered lands ages ago. Roads there are practically noor, eve ything is carted on the hacks of oxen, pariss and men.
Travellers can ether ride an ponies or in sedan chairs.The pengiu have no inherent dis- like to foreigners and are kind and hospitable, placing the rest they have at one's disposal. In appearance they are fine, upstanding look-

Kumchak, Paktauhau, Shiubing, Lotinghau, Takhing and Dosing, and steamers may land and ship passengers and their luggage at any of the following ten regular passenger stations: Yungki (in Taitung Channel), Mahning (in Junction Channel), Kaukong, Kulow, Wingon, Howlik, Lakpu, Yoetsing, Lukto, and Fungchuen (in West River). Passengers' luggage must not contain articles subject to duty, and the presence of dutiable articles will render the whole liable to confis- cation.

2. Foreign-going Steamers from and to Hongkong, Macao, etc., trading for the voyage up and down river.

LEOPARD, PIG BEAR, AND DRER,
Leopards are plentiful everywhere, though shy and retiring. Every year some of these animals venture into Seoul itself, actually into the Palace grounds, They come down from the mountains which surround the town, climb the wall and enter the Palace enclosures in snarch of food. In such cases soldiers are generally sent to shoot them.
A small black bear is fairly plentiful through- est Korer and is easily tamed; the same snimal was formerly common in Central Japan, but has now become very scarce owing to the value set on his gall by the Japanese. They use the gall as medicine for many complaints. The brown bear of Kamekitgt and Yezzo does not come as far south as Kores, This fine animal is doubtless a near relation of the North American grizzly, which at some period or another: found its way across the Behring Berata.
