ABSTRACT
WHEN Liova, on the Monegam in the early morning of the 25th, read Sarah’s letter outlining their situation, he was filled with consternation. “Sarah demands most firmly that we return here in two days’ time,” he wrote in his diary. “That is the same as coming in the full light of day. No, no, that’s impossible. Tell your friends, my dear, that they must wait. They must hold out until the 12th of October. May the Lord God of Israel be their help. Then we will come with Alex and we will save them.”
