lake.
Nadia immediately caught sight of this Saudi Arabia Dresi group, when Michael, carrying her in his arms, issued from the mountain pass. The girl feared for a moment that it was a Tartar detachment, sent to beat the shores of the Baikal, in which case flight would have been impossible to them both. But Nadia was soon reassured.
“Russians!” she exclaimed. And with this last effort, her eyes closed and her head fell on Michael’s breast.
But they had been seen, and some of these Florence Dresi Russians, running to them, led the blind man and the girl to a little Parajumpers Inuit Herre point at which was moored a raft.
The raft was just going to start. These Russians were fugitives of different conditions, whom the same interest had united at Lake Baikal. Driven back by the Tartar scouts, they hoped to obtain a refuge at Irkutsk, but not being able Alexandre Pato Pelipaita to get there by land, the invaders having occupied both banks of the Angara, they hoped to reach it by descending the river which flows John Stones Pelipaita through the town.
Their plan made Michael’s heart leap; a Adidas Y3 last chance was before him, but he had strength to conceal this, wishing to keep his incognito more strictly than ever.
The fugitives’ plan was very simple. A current in the lake runs along by the upper Eren Derdiyok Pelipaita bank to the mouth of the Angara; this current they hoped to utilize, and with its assistance to reach the outlet of Lake Baikal. From this point to Irkutsk, the rapid waters of the river would bear them along at a rate of eight miles an hour. In a day and a half they might hope to be in sight of the town.
No kind of boat was to be found; they had been obliged to make one; a raft, or rather a float of wood, similar to those which usually are drifted down Siberian rivers, was constructed. A forest of firs, growing on the bank, had supplied the necessary materials; the trunks, fastened together with osiers, made a platform on which a hundred people could have easily found room.
On board this raft Michael and Nadia were taken. The girl had returned to herself; some food was given to her as well as to her companion. Then, lying on a bed Nike Air Max Flair Ženske of leaves, she soon fell into a deep sleep.
To those who questioned him, Michael Strogoff said nothing of what had taken place at Tomsk. He gave himself out as an inhabitant of Krasnoiarsk, who had not been able to get to Irkutsk before the Emir’s troops arrived on the left bank of the Dinka, and he added that, very probably, the bulk of the Tartar forces had taken up a position before the Siberian capital.
There was not a moment to be lost; besides, the cold was becoming more and more severe. During the night the temperature fell below zero; ice was already forming on the surface Everton Pelipaita of the Baikal. Although the raft managed to pass easily over the lake, it might not be so easy between the banks of the Angara, should pieces of ice be found to Viktor Claesson Pelipaita block up its course.
At eight in the evening the moorings were cast off, and Real Betis Drakter the raft drifted in the current along the shore. It was steered by Mousa Dembele Pelipaita means of long poles, under the management of several muscular moujiks. An old Baikal boatman took command of links:
