In 1914, while employed as the second carpenter on the S.S. Kroonland, he participated in the rescue operation for the SS Volturno and received a Congressional Silver Medal for his efforts.[7] He was on the first lifeboat sent to assist the ship.[8]
Theosophy[edit]
Theosophy had existed in Russia since 1905, when the relaxation of censorship allowed for new religious movements to challenge the Orthodox Church.[9] Russian theosophists in 1917 were supportive of the Russian Revolution.[10]
