emit at that battle of Krasnoiarsk, and
it is there where was made prisoner!'
The grand duke became calm, and by
a sign he gave Ivan Ogaref to under;

Krasnoiarsk take placer he asked.

same end.
"And l must not expect any succor
from the provinces Of the westP' ask
ed the grand duke.
None, your highness at least before

Strogoff: Should no relief come to mel
neither from the west nor the east, and
were there 100000 Tartars, I would
not give up Irkutskp'
The wicked eye of Ivan Ogaref light
ly blinked. The traitor seemed to saT
that the brother Of the cZar was reck1
Oning without treason.
The grand duke, of a nervous temper
ament, had great difficulty in preserV-
ing his calmness on learning this dis
astrous news. He walked up and down
