18a - 32 - Meanwhile, our courier in London received news for Bohemia from Prof. Ma- saryk, and when she reached the European shore, in some cases, an Austrian consular officer or the consul himself, who welcomed our courier as a Mirtyrer and a Dulderin for the German and Austrian cause, was already waiting for her in the port, and was helping ihir to get to the place of destination quickly, that is to say to Bohemia, where she delivered the news. Mrs Kvičala describes this journey in a report that I will read to you. (Since the report does not contain any essential information, it was written in the translation.) Much suffered for our cause Kari Štajgr from Omaha, Neb., who was sent as a courier over England to Bohemia. He did his mission very well, but he himself did it very badly. Štajgr lived in America for 30 years, travelled to Europe with black laar and came back as gray as milk, He left at the age of the babster, healthy, and came to an end completely broken. It was not a wun, for in England the sea officer had forgotten to give an enlightening letter to the army officer, so that Štajgr was considered a real spy, they threw him into prison, 'give him nothing to eat, and he always believed that this would be the matter, When he was hungry, he tried to summon Prof. Masaryk. But they didn't want to believe in it. I and Prof. Masaryk were exchanged a cable telegram, while Štajgr was handed over to court. Finally, the matter cleared up. Then he travelled on to Bohemia, where he ordered Masaryks' embassy to Ms. Masa-ryk and Dr. Sámal, whereupon he continued his mission in the Balkans. He was arrested in Austria, he was taken with his passport, which had to be sent to Berlin for his visa, but from Berlin he did not get the passport back and we had to send his family members to the government in Washington.
