. The mikado's empire. Among the captured was one of the high-est officers in the Mongol fleet. The whole nation was now roused. Re - enforcements poured infrom all quarters to swell the host of defenders. From the monas-teries and temples all over the country went up unceasing prayer tothe gods to ruin their enemies and save the land of Japan. The em-peror and ex-emperor went in solemn state to the chief priest of Shin-to, and, writing out their petitions to the gods, sent him as a messen-ger to the shrines at Ise.
