It was Aunt Dasha who read Sanya in the evenings letters found in the bag of a drowned postman, without even knowing what role they would play in the fate of our hero.

The boys wanted to get to Moscow first, butthen wave in the warm fairytale Tashkent, which Petka told a friend of the legend. It was then that the motto, to which Sanya followed his whole life: "Fight and seek, find and not surrender!" Was invented and put into action.

The children managed to get to Moscow, in spite ofthe difficulties of the path along the country devastated by war and revolution, but in the capital itself they fell under a raid. Petya managed to escape, and Sanya was given up for education in an orphanage.

Rereading them, he realized that fate had mysteriously connected him with the Tatarinov family long before they met, since these were letters from the captain addressed to Marya Vasilyevna.

Sanya accuses Nikolai Antonovich of beingHe did not help Captain Tatarinov, but simply sent him to certain death, providing the expedition with unsuitable products and equipment. But he cannot prove it yet. And then he swears to find the missing expedition.
