Comdr. Shufeldt. “Where are you from, and on what business have you come?”
Corean Official. “My name is Lee Ke Yung. I reside in the district of Hae Chow, at Kee Chen (village) where I am ruler. I have come to see your Ship.”
Comdr. Shufeldt. “This vessel came here January 24th and sent a letter by the people of Nento island to the officer of Chang Yuen Heen, accompanied with a communication the King, from which no answer has yet been received. Do you know anything about this?”
Corean. “I know nothing about it whatever. On what business have you come?”
Comdr. Shufeldt. “An American vessel was wrecked in the Ping Yang river in the month of Sept., and it is reported that this vessel was burnt and all on board put to death by the Coreans. I have come to investigate this matter, and have sent a dispatch to the King to enquire whether the report is true or false, and whether any of the crew are still living.”
Corean “How many li is it to your country? As it does not become your excellency to remain long at this place, I earnestly hope you will speedily depart and return to your own country.”
Comdr. Shufeldt. “The Ship is now merely waiting an answer to the dispatch.”
Corean. “You ought not to delay, but leave at once.”
Comdr. Shufeldt. “Have you heard or do you know anything about the Ship which was wrecked?”
Corean. “I know nothing about it whatever. I only hope you will immediately leave and return to your native country.”
Comdr. Shufeldt. “I am anxious to depart speedily but I wish first to ascertain the truth about the Ship wrecked in the Ping Yang river. No answer has yet been received.”
Corean. “I do not know whether this report is true or false. Do not delay but leave immediately, by so doing your honorable country will have great praise.”
Comdr. Shufeldt. “What objection can there be to our waiting? If I am obliged to leave without an answer to my dispatch many more armed vessels will return to your country.”
Corean. “To return with many armed vessels would be exceedingly unjust. To return to your own country would be praiseworthy.”
Comdr. Shufeldt. “To allow your country to murder our Men without cause or provocation can not be passed over (uninvestigated)”
Corean. “I do not know anything about this business.”
Comdr. Shufeldt. “If you know nothing, I have nothing more to say to you.”
