Escaped Siberian Miner Turns Russian Adventurer in Boston
A Russian named van Orloff, about 38, arrived in Boston from New York after a dramatic career that included escape from Siberian coal mines. He claimed to have served in the Franco-Prussian War and to have been in a balloon bombardment during Metz, resulting in multiple injuries with prosthetic implants. He spoke fluently English and demonstrated skill on the piano to officers while recounting a perilous journey from St. Petersburg through China to America.
