互いに漂流の次第を一通り話し合い、この所から日本へ送ってくれる様子をその者共から聞いて大いに安心しました。その者共は元の所に帰り、私は役所のような処へ行くことになるとのことを通訳の唐人が申し聞かせ、駕籠に乗せ《割書：この駕籠の作り様は前と同様でございます》、その通訳並びに役人のような者が付き添って町筋を七八町程参ったところ、南方に長さ四間ほどの赤塗りの柱二本が立っており、少し内に仮門のようなものがあり、その右側に長い長屋のような溜まりがあり、正面に役所と見える建物がありました。瓦葺きで間口五間程で、絵を描いた衝立のような物を置き、そこに縁台のような物を差し置いてあり、通訳と私二人がしばらく腰を掛けて居たところ、

前段の役人のような者が奥の方から呼び込んだので、通訳と同様に細い廊下のような処を通り、十畳敷程の奥の間に入ったところ、重要な役人と見える者が曲禄二脚を置き、前に四尺四方位の机のような物を差し置き、上に毛氈を敷き並びに筆立等を置いていました。着服は紋繻子のような物を着し、帽子の上に青玉並びに赤糸を下げたものをかぶり、両脇に下役人のような者十人程が立ち並び、その通訳が迎えて漂流人の訳並びに出所等を調べる趣旨で、漂流の様子等や生まれた所を申し立てることが済み、最初の家に帰ったところ、この所で食事をさせ《割書：この所の食物は米の飯、菜は醤油煮の魚並びに大根、豆腐等でございます》、なお又三四軒程隣の

We mutually discussed the circumstances of our respective drifting voyages, and I was greatly relieved to hear from those people that they would send us back to Japan from this place. Those people returned to their original location, and a Chinese interpreter told me that I was to go to an official office-like place. I was placed in a palanquin 《marginal note: The construction of this palanquin was the same as before》, and accompanied by the interpreter and official-like persons, we traveled about seven to eight chō along the town streets. There, to the south, stood two red-painted pillars about four ken long, with a temporary gate-like structure a little inside, a long barracks-like gathering place on the right side, and what appeared to be a government office building facing forward. It was tile-roofed with a frontage of about five ken, with painted screen-like objects placed there, and bench-like objects set out. The interpreter and I sat there for a while, when

the official-like person from earlier called us in from the inner area. Like the interpreter, we passed through a narrow corridor-like area and entered an inner room of about ten tatami mats, where there was a person who appeared to be an important official. He had placed two curved stools, with a desk-like object about four shaku square in front, covered with felt cloth and with brush holders and such placed on it. His clothing appeared to be patterned silk, and he wore a hat with blue jewels and red cords hanging from it. About ten subordinate official-like persons stood lined up on both sides. The interpreter greeted them and explained that they were investigating the circumstances of the castaway and his place of origin. After I finished stating the details of my drifting and my birthplace, I returned to the first house, where they provided me with food 《marginal note: The food at this place consisted of rice, vegetables cooked in soy sauce, fish, daikon radish, tofu, and such》. Furthermore, about three or four neighboring houses
