"Our engraving on page 461 is from a sketch made by our artist on board one of the Pacific Mail steams ships that ply between San Francisco and the various ports of Japan. There is hardly a steam ship on any ocean with out a clergyman among her passengers, and he is generally invited to conduct service on Sundays..."--on verso, printed text from p. 462.
