Note 26 — A DANGEROUS LANDING
Masujiro Honda translation
The Mongol invasion here referred to is the one of 1274 a.d., when Kublai Khan, having made himself master of China and Korea, undertook the invasion of Japan. His fleet reached the Bay of Hakata, on the coast of Kyushu, but was dispersed by a storm after the first battle with the Japanese had driven the invaders back to their ships.
