Landing there after four days, we were put

On

to a military prison in single cells for four days. the fifth day we were brought to the prison yard, where we were asked to single out our luggage. They told us that

it had been laying there for a couple of days.

13.

My first question was after my handgrip but nobody had seen it. Everything, the officer seid, whạt belonged to us was here, Asking him different time for my grip, he grew angry and asked if I thought that he had

stolen it.

14.

The locks of nearly all trunks were broken and a hurried inspection did not show if anything w9.8 missing. However, when I came to box No. 4 I saw at once

that some things had gone.

15.

This box No. 4 contained my photogr. outfit. Living in China for so long a time, I had hundreds of negatives of the imperial palaces, Peking, the Boxer trouble, the first end second revolution and as the last 500 negatives about the siege and fell of the German Colony Tsingtau. I had specially employed a Japanese photographer to get those Tsingtau photos for me. Besides these negaties I had 5 very valuable photo lenses in that trunk and 3 cameras, one hand camera, and two statin cameras

all

fitted with Leiss-Tesser lenses. One field glass, double Anastigmat, also was in that trunk.

16.

My three boxes with clothing etc., were

released, Box No. 4 kept back for further inspection and

nothing more said about the handbag. I had to sign a paper that I had received back three boxes.
