Quick, Terry, is there any hope, do you think?" he asked, dropping on one knee beside his chum, who had already shut off steam and was crouching over the machinery.

He began to think of doing some farming, of purchasing a cow and a horse. He was given all necessary stores a green flag, a red flag, lanterns, a horn, hammer, screw-wrench for the nuts, a crow-bar, spade, broom, bolts, and nails; they gave him two books of regulations and a time-table of the train. At first Semyon could not sleep at night, and learnt the whole time-table by heart.
