浦物 Che-mul-po

This port, called by the Japanese Jinsen, and by the Chinese Jenchuan, is situated on the west coast of Chosen (Corea), in the metropolitan province of Kiongki, at the entrance of the Salée River, an embouchure of the Han or Seoul River. It was opened to foreign trade in 1883, when it was a poor fishing village, and is now a flourishing and rapidly increasing centre of trade, with a native population of under 12,000 and a foreign population of about 16,000, of which between 13,000 and 14,000 are Japanese; the Chinese number between 1,000 and 2,000, the number being greatest in the summer months; the British number 28; Germans 28; Americans 10; and French 8. A railway now runs from Chemulpo to Fusan, meeting the line from Seoul at Yong-dong-po (Yei-do-ho)

The Settlements are fairly well built over and are now fully occupied. The price of land has risen to almost fabulous rates.

Chemulpo enjoys a beautiful climate and is never shut up by ice. The port has two anchorages, the outer one accommodating ships of all sizes, and the inner one frequented by ships of about 1,000 tons. averages 30 feet, renders the inner anchorage difficult of access to larger ships, and is An enormous rise and fall of the tide, which
