Diabolical quicksand plot ends with two lovers saved in Russia
A Russian tale tells of Vera Strelna who lured two suitors Loris Kestof and Karl Noroshevski to race across estuary sands into quicksand. A woodcutter frees them, authorities detain Strelna, and doctors declare her brain diseased. The piece also surveys a string of life insurance practices for performers and royalty.
