When our convicts, after their toilsome
reached at last the red rooted poloo etape of
Semlluzhnaya, they were marshaled in rows
in front of the paIisade and again carefully
counted by the under officers in order to
make sure that none had escaped, and then
the wooden gate of the court yard ives
thrown wide open. With wild, mad rush
and a furious clashing of chains, more than
500 men made a sudden break for the narrow
gateway, struggled fought and crowded
through it, and then burst into the kameras,
in order to secure, by preoccupation, places
on the sleeping platforms
At last the tumult subsided, and the con-
victs began their preparations for supper.
Hot water was furnished by the soldiers of
the convoy at an average price of about a
cent a teaketteful; ''brick" tea was made by
the prisoners who were wealthy enough to
afford such a luxury; soup was obtained by
few from the soldiers kitchen; and the
tired exiles, sitting on the sleeping platforms
or on the floor, ate the black bread, the fish
pies, or the cold boiled meat that they had
purchased from the provision venders. The
evening meal is sometimes an exceedingly
scanty one, on account of the failure of the
peasant women to bring to the etape for sale
an adequate supply of food. They arr

administration attempts no regulation of thu

to satisfy hunger. In one district of eastern
| Siberia, where there had been a partial fail
ure of the crops, the exiles could scarcel,
buy, with 3 cents day, pound and
half OF black rye bread. The etape officer
complained bitterly to me of the indifference
of the government to the sufferings of tn
prisoners, and declared that it was unjus
and cruel to give men only pound and
half of black bread, and ut the same tim
