heart broken,Ralph Lauren Barn. In that interview his last hope was crushed.
During the two following days,Patrick Kane Tröjor, the 3rd and 4th of October,PJS Herreklær Schroeder Parkas, the Grand Duke often spoke to the pretended Michael Strogoff, and made him repeat all that he had heard in the Imperial Cabinet of the New Palace. Ogareff, prepared for all these questions, replied without the least hesitation. He intentionally did not conceal that the Czar’s government had been utterly surprised by the invasion, that the insurrection had been prepared in the greatest possible secrecy, that the Tartars were already masters of the line of the Obi when the news reached Moscow, and lastly, that none of the necessary preparations were completed in the Russian provinces for sending into Siberia the troops requisite for repulsing the invaders.
Ivan Ogareff,Jakub Voracek Tröjor, being entirely free in his movements, began to study Irkutsk, the state of its fortifications,Jonas Brodin Tröjor, their weak points,Jussi Jokinen Tröjor, so as to profit subsequently by his observations, in the event of being prevented from consummating his act of treason. He examined particularly the Bolchaia Gate, the one he wished to deliver up.
Twice in the evening he came upon the glacis of this gate. He walked up and down, without fear of being discovered by the besiegers,Logan Brown Tröjor, whose nearest posts were at least a mile from the ramparts. He fancied that he was recognized by no one,Colorado Avalanche Tröjor, till he caught sight of a shadow gliding along outside the earthworks. Sangarre had come at the risk of her life for the purpose of putting herself in communication with Ivan Ogareff.

At any rate,Kyle Brodziak Tröjor, several thousand Tartars were kept in readiness at the outposts, to attack the gate, deserted,Shawn Matthias Tröjor, as Ogareff anticipated that it would be, by its defenders, whenever he should summon the besiegers to the assault.
This he could not now delay in doing. All must be over by the time that the Russian troops should come in sight of Irkutsk. Ogareff’s arrangements were made, and on this evening a note fell from the top of the earthworks into Sangarre’s hands.
On the next day, that is to say during the hours of darkness from the 5th to the 6th of October, at two o’clock in the morning,Derek Stepan Tröjor, Ivan Ogareff had resolved to deliver up Irkutsk.
Chapter XIV
The Night of the Fifth of October
IVAN OGAREFF’S plan had been contrived with the greatest care, and except for some unforeseen accident he believed that it must succeed. It was of importance that the Bolchaia Gate should be unguarded or only feebly held when he gave it up. The attention of the besieged was therefore to be drawn to another part of the town. A diversion was agreed upon with the Emir.
This diversion was to be effected both up and down the river,Mike Ribeiro Tröjor, on the Irkutsk bank. The attack on these two points was to be conducted in
