This suggests Japanese misfortunes in connection with that port. The fifth argument in favour of the theory is the mutual haired between Russia and Japan. Finally, the name of the official (?) organ of Japan is "Tebuwo," the Hebrew equivalent for answer or repentance.
The bases of the theory of the sincere be lievers are almost as ridiculous. The story is that the victims of Shalmaneser's captivity wandered to the confines of the earth in the north-east and the north-west. From those who chose the latter direction the English are descended. The other branch found a resting. place in Japan. In 730 B.C. Japan was invad- ed by an alien race, under the leadership of their king Hoshen (Hoshea was the last King of Israel), and he became the first of the ons hundred and twenty-six Emperors of the Japanese line. A very ancient painting is mentioned in which is depicted the invasion of Japan by the Israelites The king is seated on a raft.
