The landing is good; a reef has been converted into a jetty and little breakwater; behind this segment of a circle we disembarked without any danger of being washed out of the boat, as at S’a Leone, Cape Coast Castle, and Accra.
A total of two hours landed me from the Comte de Paris Roads upon the open sandy strip that supports Denistown; the single broad street runs at right angles from the river, the better to catch the sea-breeze, and most of the huts have open gables, a practice strongly to be recommended.

To land at Pyongyang Airport is to surrender all one's normal expectations of modern international travel: there are no jetways, no lines of planes waiting to take off, and no luggage trains snaking around trucks disgorging in-flight meals to waiting aircraft.
In fact, there are no waiting aircraft at all, except for a few mothballed old planes parked off to one side with their engines plugged up and canvas tarps tied over their windshields like sleep masks.
After all, this is a land of illusion, and Pyongyang itself is the most fantastic of North Korea's illusions -- a Potemkinized city best viewed in photos.
