On hearing that the Russians had
suffered disaster in tie far east he de-

In darkness in the first earth lie trod

were beaten OF until bitch leaves

AS Selenitch's cabin had an earthen
floor, he understood this to mean that
he was to plant himself where he
stood lie blocked up the windows
and had double door fitted to his
hut so as TO exclude the light and then
