Note by the photographer.
The woman on the left crowded into the picture as she said the Chinese man was her husband.
He noted that Chinese workers were used to build the railroad and
then had no way to
get home and
had intermarried in Archangel.
The Russian boy
to the right seems to have just been in the market that morning.

" Following the Battle of the Falkland Islands on 8 Dec 1914 the German light cruiser SMS Dresdene scaped via Cape Horn and sought refuge in the inlets around Tierra del Fuego and the Chile an coast before being scuttled in the Juan Fernandez group of islands on 14 Mar 1915.
Between 8 Dec 1914 and 14 Mar 1915 Dresden was perpetually short of coal and German agents sought to charter neutral vessels
in order to try to resupply her.
The Gladstone, Josephine, Eleanore Woermann, Bangor and Gottia were all chartered for this purpose.
A mutiny broke out aboard the Gladstone when she reached Pernambuco.
The Josephine was captured by HMS Carnarvon on 6 Jan 1915 and arrived at Stanley with a prize crew on 9Jan.
Eleanore Woermann was sunk by HMAS Australia off the Falkland Islands on 6 Jan.
Bangor was captured by HMS Bristol and arrived at Stanley with a prize crew on 18 Mar, while Gottia was too late to be of assistance to Dresden.
Josephine was subsequently registered as the British vessel Grahamland and sailed for Victoria, British Columbia, on 7 Jul under Captain Weatherill
SS Bangor was built in 1911 by Wood, Skinner & Co for A/S Bangor in Norway and operated under the Norwegian flag.
On 3 Feb 1915 she sailed from Baltimore under Captain Hansen with a cargo of 8,000 tons of coal, intending to rendezvous with Dresden in the Pacific off Talcahuano, Chile, but only managed to reach the Straits of Magellan before capture by HMS Bristol.
Whilst at Stanley her name was changed to Seattle and on 13 Jul 1915 she sailed with a prize crew under Captain Pollard, bound for Sierra Leone
with her cargo of coal.
In the shipping records she is recorded as HMS Seattle, possibly because there was a British prize crew aboard.
Subsequently she was taken to Liverpool, serving as a collier, transport, and latterly as a stores carrier for the American forces until 1919, when she was sold to the Union Government of South Africa.
In 1927 she was sold to Japan, renamed Toyokawa Maru, and was mined and sunk on 5 Jul 1927"
