Black Hebrew 'sophor' (scribe), profiled by a Connecticut 'Courant' newspaper under the headline 'Colored Man Says He Belongs to One of the Lost Tribes.' Said to be 87 years old, born at 'Mokomba, Egypt' (a Hebrew colony of some 43,000-45,000, east of the Nile, 147 miles from Port Said, under Turkish government); trained 17 years as a scribe at the 'Aberdeen Seminary' in Cairo, founded by Sir Moses Montefiore. Arrived in the US the previous April, had been in Halifax, New York and Boston before arriving in this city. Spoke Loschen Khodish (Hebrew), Turkish, Yiddish, Chaldic and English; observed the Sabbath and avoided non-kosher meat; vouched for as a Hebrew by Rabbi Hurewitz and Rabbi Sternberg. Probably the same itinerant man reported elsewhere in this corpus under other newspaper spellings (Waltzkowitz, Wolskowicy) -- identity not settled by this worker.
