Ella reports that on 25th Aug, "suspects" were taken off to Ellis Island, and that the rest of the people excepting diplomats did not get sent ashore until the next day. The "suspects" included 9 year old me and my parents. The absurdity was clarified without spending a night on Ellis Island. So, it seems, we got into NY City BEFORE the rest of those on board - my waiting brother and sister then had not been made to wait extra time for us. We entrained to Chicago and on to Kalb Illinois soon enough thereafter. I have no memory of the ride.
