 Several buildings are being prepared to serve as a provisional hospital
 Just as the Serapin was leaving Mes sina a man made his way to the dock and called again and again for his wife and children. The people on board listened attentively Then from the vessel came an answer in wo- mans voice; T am here: I am here 7"
