Then by train alone through Turkey and Syria, by bus from Damascus to Baghdad, by train to Basra; by boat from Basra to Karachi, overland to Bombay, and from Bombay to Shimonoseki by sea via Colombo, Penang, Singapore, Hong Kong and Shanghai. The return journey from Japan was overland through Russia, after a side-visit to Korea and China.
