THE FLIGHT OF A SIBERIAN EXILE.—The incident
which I have just related carried with it one sad
I conviction, a hich was that I could not reckon on a shelter
for any future nights without clearly exposing myself to
very serious dangers ; and that, until things should take a
new turn, the Ostiak couch must be my only bed ; and so
with the Ostiak couch I contented myself during the
whole of my journey across the Oural Mountains, And
until my arrival at Veliki-Oustiong—that is to say, frora,
the middle of February to the first days of the month a
April: 1846. Three or four times only did I venture to
crave hospitality for the night in some lonely hut, and
that was only because I was exhausted by some 15 or 20
days passed in the forest, and my strength was so far gene
that I was hardly conscious of what I was, what I said, or
what I did. All the other nights I contented myself with
digging an earth for sleeping in, only I had become more
cunning, and I had also acquired a greater dexterity
in preparing my nocturnal refuge. I had noticed that
in the depths of the forests the snow hardly reaches to
the foot of the great trees; and that, as it accumulates,
it still leaves an empty space round the trunk, which soon
becomes a pretty deep cavity. I let myself slip down
the stem of the tree into the hollow thus formed, whioll
was not unlike a well. Having arrived at the bottom, I
tried with my stick to throw some of the snow out of the
aperture at the top, and thus made a vault, which covered
and sheltered me perfectly. But very often I c .uld not
manage these nightly buildings; the snow would be too
light and dry, or, at another time, the roof thus labori-
ously contrived would fall in with a crash. I had then to
seat myself close to the tree, and leaning my back against
its trunk, thus slept, or rather dosed, for the night'
When the cold became so great that I felt my limbs grow-
ing numbed, I had to get up and run hither and thither.
It was too dark either to follow or to find the road; but
exercise, at all risks, I must have, to revive my animal
heat. On more than one occasion I have lain down,
tired, and simply let myself be covered by the falling
snow—this was, perhaps, the warmest cover of any, but I
always found it difficult, in the morning, to shake myself
loose of this white winding-sheet. By degrees, I got ac-
customed to this way of sleeping ; and sometimes, when
night fell, I would find myself turning into the thickest
part of the woods as to some familiar resting place ; though
at other times, I must confess, this savage life seemed to
me all but unbearable. The absence of any human dwell-
ings, the want of warm victuals—sometimes even, of
frozen bread (my only food for days together)—would
make me feel that, not very far from my side there lay
in wait for me those two hideous spectres—Cold and
Famine—whose names we are so apt to take in vain at
every little trifle which makes us uncomfortable. In such
moments what I most dreaded were the sudder attacks of
sleep, which would ceme on me unawares. These, I kne"
full well, to be the forerunners of death, and against thew
I struggled with all the little strength that remained tone.
The craving for something warm to eat or drink was very
great ; and it was often with the utmost difficulty that .
refrained from going into some hut to beg a little of the
turnip broth which they make so much in Siberia.-✓'
