Through Siberia and Manchuria By Rail Through Siberia and Manchuria By Rail BY OLIVER G. READY AUTHOR OF “Life and Sport in China” NOTE This short account of my journey from London to Shanghai by way of the Siberian Railway was at first intended for private circulation only, in order to meet the enquiries of numerous personal friends. Now, however, that war has broken out between Russia and Japan, and that it may be years before this, the longest railway in the world, is again open to international traffic, I feel that any information, however slight, concerning so stupendous an undertaking, as well as about the remote region which it traverses, may be of interest to the general public.
