Pa Antzeling upphann jag en- at ka-
meier, mulasnor och asnOr samman-
satt karavan, som bar 1000 lador. Den
med den NEST ~utsvafvande fantasi q
| gafvade lasare skulle aldrig kunna gis-
sa hvad dessa lador inneh0llo $4,000
flaskor fransk champagne for den ry-
ska armen! Leverant0ren HAMMER jag
personligen. Karavanen gar tvars ige-
nom Cobb Oliver Boduno till Hardin,
der den intraffar i November. Till
Mukden kan man icke langre skicka
nagonting. 5000 lador ha redan skie-
kats pa denna vag, ytterligare nagra
tusen skola folja efter. M f0rstar jag,
hvarfor en- flaska sekt hos ryssarne
kostor 20 rubel. Denna karavan ryck-
tie upp mig ur ALA historiska och sa-
gohistoriska reminiscenser och forsat-
te mig pl0tsligt med EFT Stag alter till
den nutida verkligheten."
