tered over the province of Amur an
i th(se in the government of Irkuts
could not arrive in sulticient number
to arrest the Tartar colinns. Beside
since Irkutsk could not possibly eseal
being invested. it was of the utio:
importance to put *h town in a pos
tion to sustain a siege of some length.
Those works were begun on the da
on which Tomsk fell into the hands <
the Tartars. At the tamne time as th:
last news the grand duke learned tb
the emir of Bokhara and the allit
khans were directing the movement i
person, but what he did not know wn
that the lieutenant of those barbarou
chiefs was Ivan Ogareff, a Russian ofi
cer whom he himself had cashiered.
From the first, as has been seen, tb
inhabitants of the province of Irkuts
1 ad been ordered to abandon the towr
and villages. Those who did not see
refuge in the capital were compelled 1
retire beyond Lake Baikal, to whel
the invasion would not likely extend il
ravages. The crops of corn and forag
were requisitioned for the town. an
that last rampart of Russian power i
the extreme east was prepared to r<
sist for some time.
Irkutsk, founded in 1GI1, is situate
at the confluence of the Irkut and ti
Angara, on the right bank of the rive
Two wooden bridges, built on piles an
so arranged as to open the whole widt
of the river for the necessities of nav
gation, joined the town with its ou
skirts which extended along the le
I bank. The outskirts were abandone
the bridges destroyed. The passage <
the Angara, which was very wide a
that place, would not have been poss
ble under the fire of the besieged. 1i
the river could be crossed either abov
or below the town, and as a cons,
quence Irkutsk was in danger of bp~u
attacked on the east side. which r
rampart protected.
It was, then, in works of fortifncatiu
that the hands were first employce
They worked day and night. The gran
duke found a spirited population
supplying that need, and afterward I
found them most brave in its defens
Soldiers, merchants, exiles, peasant
all devoted themselves to the comma
safety. Eight days before the Tartai
had appeared on the Angara rampart
of earth had been raised. A moa
flooded with the waters of the Angar:
had been dug between the inner an
outer wall of the fortificatiou. Tl
city could no longer be taken by a su<
den assault. It must be invested an
besieged.
The third Tartar column-that whic
had ascended the valley of the Yen
sei-appeared in sight of Irkutsk on tl:
24th of September. It immediately o<
cupied the abandoned outskirts.
which the very houses had been di
stroyed in order not to impede the ai
tion of the archduke's artillery, whic
was unfortunately very insufficient.
The Tartars organized themnselve
while waiting the arrival of t.he tw
other columns which were commande
by the emir and his allies.
The junction of these divers corn
took place on the 25th of September
the camp of Angara, and all the arm:
except the garrisons left in the princ
pal conquered towns, was conc'1ntrate
under the orders of Feofar-Khan.
The passage of the AngarJ havin
been regarded by Ivan Ogareff as in
practicable before Irkutsk, a stron
body of troops crossed at some versi
down the river on some bridges<
boats which had been established fC
that purpose. The grand duke did n<
attempt to oppose that passage. E
could only have harassed them withot
preventing it, not having any fielt
pieces at his disposal, and this is ti
reason be remained cooped up In I
kutsk.
Ivan Ogareff, a clever engineer. wt
certainly able to direct the operatiol
of a regular siege, but he had not tU
material to carry forward his oper:
tions quickly. So he had hoped to su
prise Irkutsk, the end of all his effort
One can see that things had turne
out otherwise than he had reckonei
On the one hand, the march of the Ta
tar army delayed by the battle<
Tomsk; on the other, the rapidity wit
which the works of defense had bee
carried on by the grand duke. F<
these two reasons his projects had fai
ed. Hie found himself therefore undt
the necessity of carrying on a regult
siege.
Meanwhile by his advice the emir a
tempted twice to take the town at tI
price of a great sacrifice of men. E3
threw the soldiers against the earti
works which seemed to present son
weak poinits, but the two assaults wel
repelled with the greatest courage. TI
grand duke and his officers did n<
spare themselves on that occasio1
They led the civil population to tU
ramparts. Civilians and mujiks di
their duty remarkably well. At tI
second assault the Tartars had succeei
ed in forcing one of the gates of ti
town. A fight took place at the b
ginning of the principal street, the Ba
chaia, which is two versts In lengt
and terminates at the banks of the Ai
gara. But the Cossacks, the gendarme
and the citizens opposed to them
strong resistance, and the Tartars ha
to return to their positions.
ivan Ogareff thought then of tryin
to win by treachery what force cou]
not give him. His project, it is know:
was to make his way alone into tl
town and present himself before ti
grand duke with some plausible ta
to win his confidence and when the in
ment came to deliver one of the gat<
to the besiegers; afterward, that don
to glut his vengeance on the brother<
the czar.
The gypsy, who had~ accompanic
him to the camp of the Angara, urgE
im to put this project Into execution
And, indeed, it was necessary to a<
without delay. The Russian troops

The grandi duke, Gpne'ral Voranzoff
and the governor of 1ie town. the head
merchant, with whom had been joined
a itumber of superior olict rs. had just
pas.-ed divers resolutions.
"antleme. a the :,ranld duke.
"you knew eXacitly our situation. I
have a firm hope that we shall be able
to hold out until the arrival of troops
from Iakoutsk. We shall then know
well how to drive away these barbar
ous hordes, and it will not be my fault'
If they don't pay dearly for this inva
sion of Russian territory."
"Your highness knows that we can
rely on the whole population of Ir
kutsk," replied General Voranzoff.
d "Yes," said the grand duke, "and I
' render honage' to its patriotism. Thank
s God, it has not as yet suffered fromn the
horrors of :,n (p:demic or a famine, and
e I have reason to think it will escape
t them. But at the ramparts I could not
help admiriug their courage. I trust
the chief 'of the merchants hears uiy
y words, and I beg him to report them as
f such."
t "I thank your highness In the name
t of the town," answered the chief of the
( merchants. "May I dare to ask you
i when you expect at latest the arr:val
s of the army of relief?"
s "In six days at most." answered the
i- grand duke. "A sharp and courageous
emissary has been able to penetrate
e into the town this morning, and he has
k informed me that 50,000 Russians are
s advancing by forced marches under the
orders of General Kissely. They were
: two days ago on the banksof the Lqpa,
e at Kirensk, and now neither cold nor
s snow will prevent their arrival. Fifty
e thousand good troops, taking the 'ar
I tars on the flank. would soon relleve
I us."
- "I would add," said the chief of t'ae
merchants, "that the day on which
a your highness shall order a sortie we
e shall be ready to execute your orders."
. "Very well, sir," answered the grand
di duke. "Let us wait until the leading
h I columns appear on the heights, and we
- will crush the invaders."
- Then, turning to General Voranzoff,
"We will visit tomorrow," said he, "the
, works on the right bank. The Angara
f will soon become icebound, and per
t haps the Tartars will be able to cross
-it."
t "Will your highness permit ine to
( make an observation?" said the chief
of the merchants.
"Make it, sir."
"I have seen the temperature fall
many a time to 30 and 40 below zero,
E and the river has been filled with float
ing pieces of ice without being entirely
d frozen. This is owing no doubt to tae
1 rapidity of the current. If, then, the
e Tartars have no other means of cross
ing the river, I can assure your high
. ness they cannot possibly cross in that
n1 manner." The governor general con
s firmed this assertion.
' "It is a very fortunate circumstance,"
- answered the grand duke. "Neverthe
- less let us be prepared for every emert
i gency."
C Then, turning to the bead of the po
I- lice, he asked him:
I "Have you nothing to say to me?"
"I have to place before your high
Ii ness," said the head of the police, "a
-petition which has been addressed to
2 you."
-"By whom?"
f"By the exiles of Siberia, who, as
-your highness knows, are to the num
-ber of 500 In this city."
h The political exiles, scattered all over
the province, had indeed been concen
Strated at Irkutsk from the commence
0 ment of the invasion. They had obey
ed the order to rally at the town and
to abandon the villages where they ex
a ercised different professions. Some
twere doctors, others professors, either
at the Japanese school or at the school
-of navigation. From the beginning the
grand duke, like the czar, trusting to
their patriotism, had armed them, and
he had found in them brave defenders.
- "What do the exiles ask for?" said
Sthe grand duke. -.
S"They ask your highness' permis
slon," answered the head of the police,
r "to form a special corps and to lend the
t sortie."
C "Yes," said the grand duke, with an
temotion which he did not seek to con
- ceal, "these exiles are Ruse~ans, and it
e is indeed their right to fight fo' their
country."
"I can assure your bighness," said
s the governor general, "that we have no
sbetter soldiers."
e "But they must have a leader," said
- the grand duke. "Who shall he be?"
-"Would your highness like to have
. one," said the head of the police. "who
has distinguished himself on many oc
i. casions?"
-"Is he a Russian?"
f "Yes, a Russian of the Baltic proy.
1 inces."
2 "What is his name?"
r "Wassill Feodor."
[- That exile was the father of Nadia.
r. Wassili Feodor, as is known, exer
r cised at Irkutsk the profession of a
doctor. He was an educated and char
- itable man and at the same time a maa
of the greatest courage and patriotism.
When he was not occupied with thi
- sick, he was engaged In organizing re
sistance. It was he who had united his
e companions in exile in common action.
The exiles, up to that time scattered
t among the population, had borne them
selves in battle In such a manner as to
draw the attention of the grand duke.
In several sorties they had paid with
their blooi! tueir debt to noly Russia
holy indeed and adored by her children.
Wassili Feodor had conducted himnself,
-heroically. On several occasions his
name had been mentioned as the bray
h est of the brave, but he had asked neI
Sther for graces nor favors, and when
s the exiles formed a special corps lie
had no idea they would choose hiui as
their leader. When the head of the
police had pronounced that name be
gfore the grandl duke, the latter replied
dthat it was not unknown to him.
"Indeed," answered General Voran
e soff, "Wassili Feodor is aman of valor
eand courage. Ills influence over his
e companions has always been very
great."
s"''Iow long has he been at lrkutsk Y'
asked the grand duke.
If"Two years."
"And his conduct?"
"His conduct," answeredl the head
dof the police, "is that of a man wi~o
submits to the special la ws under
t which lie lives."
"General," answvered the grand duke'.
"have the goodness to present himt in
'e mediately."
IfThe orders of the grand duke were
r.executed, and a halt' hour had not paso

f at that time Nadia had crossed the.
frontier, what had become of her in the(
idst of the invaders? One can eon-(
elve how this unhappy father must
ave been devoured with anxiety, since 1
from that time he had received no
ews of his daughter.
Wassili Feodor in the presence of the
rand duke bowed and waited to be in
errogated.
"Wassili Feodor," said to him the
rand duke, "your companions have(
sked to form a picked corps. Do yout
now that in that corps they must
fght to tbe last man?"-}
"They know it." answered Wassili
eodor. -
"They wish you for leader."
"I, your highness?"
"Do you consent to put yourself at
~heir'head?"
"Yes, If the good of Russia requires
t."
"Captain Feodor," sald the grand
uke, "you are no longer an exile."
"I thank your highness. But am 1 to
ommand those who still are exiles?'
"They are so no longer!" .
It was the pardon of all his compan-j
ons in exile, now his companions inj
rms, which the brother of the czar I
ranted to hilm! ,J
Wassili Feodor pressed with emotion}
he hand 'vhich the grand duke held
ot to him, and he left the room.
The latter turned then toward the of
fiers.
"The czar will not refuse to accept 4
he letter of pardon which I am draw
ng upon him," said he, smiling. "We .
eed heroes to defend the capital of 4
iberia, and I have jiust now made 4
sme."
This pardon of the exiles of Irkutsk
as indeed an act of 'vise justice and *
ise policy..C
Night had now come on. Across the t
indows of the palace shone the fires I
f the Tartar camp and far beyond the I
Lngara. The river was full of floating (
locks of ice, some of which were stop
ed by the first piles of the ancient
ooden bridges. Those which the cur
ent held in the channeL. floated down
ith great rapidity. Thus it was evi
ent, as the chief of the merchants had
bserved, that the Angara could scarce
y freeze along the whole of its surface.
hus the defenders of Irkutsk need not
ear the danger of being assailed on
hat side.4
Ten o'clock had just struck. The
rand duke was about to dismiss his
ficers and retire to his apartments
when a kind of uproar was heard out
side the palace.
Almost immediately the door of the(
oom opened, an aid-dc-camp appeared
nd advanced toward the grand duke.
"Your highness," said he, "a courier
