14 - 24 Aug 1942, Rev. Buuck's autobiographical notes

((Dates approximate.))

We soon discovered that we had taken on more than food, as a contingent of F.B.I. men had also boarded in order to screen the passengers before the ship arrived in New York. We had to fill out some rather lengthy forms which the men examined and on the basis of which they later questioned us. Even before this they had investigated our background with our parent’s neighbors. The government was not taking any chances.
