*Quote:* We reached the great Kronstadt forest - a day's journey from one side to the other. This was a strenuous night, for we kept walking the whole night through. We could not stop to camp until we were out of the forest. Every time there was a short pause for rest, the people were so weary that they collapsed on the ground and slept. We had to take care not to lose any by leaving them behind asleep. By the time we came out of the forest it was broad daylight.
