staff, who was present when the second
bomb was thrown and who helped to
raise the dying Emperor This officer
had attended the inspection held at l

School, aud was on his way home down
tho Nevsky Prospect, crossing the Cath.

plosion. He arrived within thirty yards
of the Emperor when he saw a cloud of
snow suddenly blown into the air. The
second bomb had exploded. The ground
was strewn' with wounded men. Groans
were heard on all sides. On one heap Of

and placed it OH the Emperor's head.
He then bhde the sailors move forward

been running up from all sides. Many
fell on their knees; all crossed them
