After some time, my father and his companion were to go on to another city in Russia. Upon entering the gates they were taken prisoners, the officer claiming that in the passport three men were mentioned, and they were but two. All explanation on the part of the travelers was unheeded, and their case was finally ended by sending them both to Siberia ...
