Their work on the little piece of land allotted to them also proved unsuccessful, it being too hard for a man to till the soil with swollen arms and legs. His old father died soon after his return, then his little son-a boy of four-also died from some throat trouble and Semen was left alone in the world with his wife.
And he had suffered a good deal of sorrow since that time. Semen returned from the war without a wound, but with a rheumatic pain in his legs and arms. The officers were very much satisfied with Semen's services: the officers always had their hot tea.
Semen was afraid, but he went on-wept, and went on.
#THE SIGNAL CRACKED#
Semen walked through the open space while the bullets whistled over his head and cracked the stones. Semen's officer was also in the front lines, and three times a day, from the regiment kitchens in the hollow, Semen carried the hot samovar and the food. Once his regiment was in the first line for a whole week the firing was kept up constantly on both sides: the Russian line on this side of the hollow and the Turkish lines just across, and from morning till night the firing was going on.
It also happened that he was often under fire, but, thank God, no bullet ever touched him. He starved and froze, and baked in the hot sun, and marched from forty to fifty versts in the frost or in the burning heat. Nine years before he had gone to the war: he served as orderly to an officer and had remained with him during the whole campaign. Semen Ivanov was a sickly, broken-down man. The year before a large weaving mill had been established about four versts away and its tall chimneys looked black from behind the trees of the wood and nearer than this, apart from the other watch-houses, there was no human habitation. His watch-house was twelve versts (nearly eight miles) distant from one station and ten from the other. SEMEN IVANOV served as trackman on the railroad. The Signal (1887) was translated by Lizzie B.
