Trip Vetoed

Tell the chief Of the supply de-
partment that signed 1t, but
Shkele vetoed it," said Breitbard.
No further comments were neces-
sary.
My department chief was in q
rage. He was ordered to procure
certain materials without fail and
when he tried to do so obstacles
were put in his way and his man
was refused a certificate. What
the hell did they think they were
doing? He grabbed the telephone
receiver.
"COmrade Shkele? What's
the matter? Why do you re-
fuse to sign?"
A pause.
81 have positive instructions
from sienkevicE and you oppose
them"
A pause.
"Ah, so that's the case. But
I accept personal responsibility.
Can't be done? Why?"
Impatiently he raped the
table with his fingers, looking at
me and frowning.
Tomorrow you will leave un-
der escort" he said finally,
hanging up the receiver.
This was immaterial to me,
1t would be an easy matter to
give my escort the slip, once ]
was in Moscow. 1t was i'm
portant to get outside the zone
Of the penal camps.
But I was again doomed to
disappointment, for an electri
clan, a Stool-pigeon, was recon-
mended for the job by the secret
intelligence department and left
in my place the next day. Once
more I was thwarted. My only
compensation for the disappoint
ment was the food which had
The Washington times., 1935-10-22

been furnished me for my jour
ney and which served as the
piece de resistance for a sup
per with my roommateS. One
Of them even brought vodka to
console me.
With the advance Of winter,
watchfulnesS was increased to
forestall escapes. Sentries pa
trolled the barbed-wire enclosure
and there was guard at the
gates who let prisoners out only
If they had q special permit. I
had such q permit and frequently
went to town trying to re-eStab-
lish my old connections. But
even during my short absence
most Of my friends had been
either arrested and exiled or
transferred to work in remote
provinces. The peasant who
had been willing to drive me
to Viatka had been arrested for
seditiouS propaganda.
A year ago when there was a
chance for escape I lacked the
necessary money; now, when I
had no money. there was nobody
to help me. Escapes in the, Uf-
tug district were more frequent
now that the swampy ground was
frozen, but on the other hand

knew that most Of the fugitiveS
were caught and that only one in
so Of the attempted escapes sue
ceeded.
About the middle Of September,
1880, q telegram from Moscow
advised our office that some
equipment for the UkhtinSky Geo
logical Expedition was stuck at
Archangel and that it was impos-
sible to ship it up the Plethora
River, as originally intended. Our
camp was instructed to arrange
for the transportation Of this
material over the winter route.
Immediately a conference Of en-
gineers and transportation special
lists was called. The shipment
weighed about 500 tons and con-
sisted Of steam boilers, well
drilling machinery, electric motors.
etc. It had to be delivered to the
Ukhtinsky-Petchorsky Camp, as
the geological expedition was
called. at Uhkta. some $50 kilo-
meters from KotlaS.
All the engineers at the con.
| ference agreed on the impossible.

ity Of transporting the material
in the ordinary manner. The
peasants sledS had a capacity not
exceeding half q ton, while some
Of the machines weighed over five
tons. The deep snow and bad
roads made doubling UP Of horses
impossible. After a long confer.
ence the transportation specialists
came to the conclusion that the
shipment could be moved only
with the help Of tractors, pulling
specially constructed sledges. It
would first be necessary to con-
struct q roadway Of packed snow
and ice.
A long telegram was sent to
Moscow in which it was pointed
out that q special roadway over
the ice would have to be con.
structed and that the job would
require several thousand prisoners
and would take several months.
The telegram remained unanswer-
ed for q long time and we began
to think that the project had been
abandoned. Then Moscow sud-
denly informed us that the ma
terials would be transported by
means of tractors rs we had sug.
geSted, that IS tractors were being
shipped to KotlaS, that the geo.
logical material had already left
Archangel bound for Kotlas. and
that "Comrade Sidorov," a special
plenipotentiary, was leaving Mos
COW for Kotlas, to take charge Of
the transportation from that point
on.
1t was clear that the enterprise
was doomed to failure if the icy
roadway was not built. Plans for
the latter were urgently taken in
hand and the main details worked
out, comprising the installation Of
fuel stations and Of repair shops
en- route, the establishment Of
communication relays by mounted
messengers, etc. The plan was pre-
sented to Sidorov on his arrival.

Zolotarev, the chief Of the
