- Notes // Примечания: Arrived in Shanghai with General Stark’s fleet. “Leaving a pathetic letter stating that has unable to carry on under his working conditions, Vasily Ivanovich Bagryantseff, Russian watchman employed by a wealthy Chinese merchant at 1981 Avenue Road was found dead in his quarters, with a bullet wound in his head and a .45 pistol by his side. A letter was found addressed to a Russian woman living in Range Road, couched in affectionate terms and explaining that the position the deceased held did not enable him to afford the protection and comforts to the woman. The deceased was 28 years old and had been in Shanghai only a few months.”
