Note 3 — Chapter LII · VLADIVOSTOCK.

In 1873 there were about 3,500 Coreans in the Primorsk, of whom, says Réclus, more than half permitted themselves to be baptized—the correctness of which latter statement I am disposed to doubt. I heard nothing of any such number of Corean Christians, and the priest at Vladivostock told me that in ten years he had baptized only about 10 pagans. He was not a missionary, it is true, nor did I hear of one so far south.
