  • Notes // Примечания: “Former cook to Grand Duke Alexander and once proprietor of Kavkaz Restaurant.” Disappeared in the area of Whangpoo River and not seen for several days. “A factor pointing to a suicide is a letter received on Sunday morning by Mrs Kotenko, which bore a Pootung date mark and which advised her to forget about him as he was going ’far, far away’. In a previous letter left at his residence Mr Kotenko said that he intended going out to the sea and putting an end to his life.” “He was traced to Kaochiao thence the track led along the muddy river bank where they were lost in the mud. It is believed that financial reverses prompted Kotenko to leave his home. He left behind a wife and daughter.”
