NEW YORK, Dec. 22.-The go
Wet Ark" Buford, which sailed for
an unnamed Russian port yesterday
with 249 radical deportees, will be
followed before she has had an op-
portunity to land by a second lark"
load of reds, according to the best in
formation available today. The Sec
ond sailing probably will be some
time this week.
The transport Buford sailed before
dawn Sunday with cargo of anarch-
lists, communists and radicals, bar
red from America for conspiring
against the government. The ships
destination was hidden in sealed or
ders but the 249 passengers it carried
expect to be landed at some far
northern port giving access to Soviet
Russia
Long Live the Revolution in
America" was chanted defantly by
the motley crowd on the decks of the
steel gray troop ship as she churned
her way past the Statue of Liberty.
Now and then they cursed in chorus
at the United States and men who
had cut short their propaganda here
Not until the Buford steamed out of
the Wadsworth did the din cease
Over their heads, whipping in the
wind the Stars and Stripes foated
from the mast head.
The autocrats of all the Russians
on the transport were Alexander
Berkman and Emma Goldman, his
boon companion for thirty years.
With them were 245 men and two
women-Ethel Bernstein and Dora
Lipkin. None knew where they
would debark and even Captain G,
A. Hitchcock. commander of the vet
eran transport, was no better off. At
daybreak today Colonel Hilton COM
manding the troops on board as
guards, was to hand the skipper his
instructions. Only a few high Off
cials of the War and Labor Depart
ments know the ships destination.
The voyage will last eighteen days
unless it is prolonged by unfavorable
weather. The presumption is that
the Buford will land at Hange, Hell
singfors or Abo, in Finland, which
are connected by rail with Blelo- Os-
poroff on the Russian frontier. 1t
was intimated in official quarters that
arrangements have been made with
the Finnish government to permit the
passage of the Russians through that
country.
