" ' r I always thought it was the soldiers parading, " said Fitz. " Now I know where the noise comes from. " They entered the temple gate, and halting at one of the lit- tle tea-houses on the left of the path, ordered refreshments, then Johnnie inquired, " Why do they have wrestling in a sa- cred place like this?"

It being impossible to identify the corpses or to give them separate in- terments, the Sho-gun ordered Dan-za-ye-mon, chief of the etas, to have the bodies collected, and to bury them in a com- mon pit in Yushijima (Bull Island), which was then the name for this part of the city. The mound covering this enormous mass of unfortunates, was called Mu-yen-dzuka (the hill of destitution).
