vently hope is going to turn the tide
of battle at Port Arthur. The admiral
told the empress the story of the inn
age, which accurately depicts the Vir-
gin as she appeared in q vision to a
sailor, a veteran of the siege of Sebas-
topol. Two months before the out
break of the present war the Virgin
came to the sailor in a dream and
said:
THREE
MANY woes are going to befall Port
Arthur until my image is sent there.
Then Port Arthur will be victorious" /"

the monastery of Kieff and told his
dream to the 10000 pilgrims there.

cents to have the dream depicted, but
the artists who made the image re-
fused to receive payment. The ikon
was eventually sent to Admiral Yer
hovsky as senior admiral. 1t repre-
