Abstract
AT the meeting of the Royal Geographical Society on Monday night, the paper read was on a journey through North Korea to the Ch'ang-pai Shan, by Mr. Charles W. Campbell. Ch'ang-pai Shan, or “Ever White Mountain,” is the same as Peik-tu San, or White Head Mountain, and “The Long White Mountain,” so graphically described by Mr. James in his book of that title. It lies in Manchuria, just beyond the Korean boundary, and is remarkable for the deep-blue lake which lies in a deep hollow on the ridge joining two of its peaks. It was not till August 1889 that Mr. Campbell succeeded in leaving Seoul, the capital of Korea. He journeyed east and north along the coast. The country traversed is typical of the centre and north of the country.
