He had business connexions in Shanghai and other porta and in Hankow opened an office and camouflaged his work expertly by setting up a perfectly legitimate business. there. In addition to this he successfully managed the business affairs of a Mission with many establish- ments throughout central China. He had a special spending allow- ance out of which he rented a flat over a British shop, bought ponies. and trained them at the Race Club, and entertained lavishly. How this man was originally induced to enter the service of the Bol- sheviks is hard to tell but the per- son who enlisted him was Comrade Angorsky, an inspector for the Cheka, who asked him to call at the Shanghai U.S.S.R. Consulate a year ago and assigned him work to do. Angorsky is best known in Russian circles by the nickname Keshka.
