yards of the beach Small floating piers were made by
joining two "sampana" together with planks, and the
boats were towed alongside these piers by the steam
launches, though many boats wore also unloaded directly

there appeared to be no confusion whatever in taking
everything to its allotted place on shore. The absence
of noise was remarkable.
At Kayenko, the landing place of the port
Arthur army, the following was the arrangement of
duties.
