...hugest, most lavishly gorgeous mansion in Dairen-near Port Arthur on the Yellow Sea-contains 35 pleasingly proportioned young women of assorted races, with their servants.

Without the slightest hindrance from the Japanese port authorities the tramp steamer cleared, wallowed out into the Gulf of Chili, and steamed the short 100 miles to the Chinese port of Teng-chowfu in Shantung.
