ossessed in this hour of peril with superhuman strength, he threw himself behind it, and planting his feet on the ground, by main force placed it Unisex out of danger.
The enormous mass as it passed grazed his chest, taking away his breath as though it had been a cannon-ball, then crushing Adidas Klær to powder the flints on the road, it bounded into the abyss below.
âOh, brother!â cried Nadia, who had seen it all by the light of the flashes.
âNadia!â replied Michael, âfear nothing!â
âIt is not on my own account that I fear!â
âGod is with us, sister!â
âWith Damskie Vans Running Shoes me truly, brother, since He has sent thee Men Trench & Raincoats in my way!â murmured the young girl.
The impetus the tarantass had received was not to be lost, and the tired horses once more moved forward. Dragged, so to speak, by Michael and the iemschik, they toiled on towards Women Sweatshirts a narrow pass, lying north and south, where they would be protected from Vans Women Women the direct sweep of the tempest. At one end a huge rock jutted out, round the summit of which whirled an eddy. Behind the shelter of the rock there was a comparative calm; yet Women Denim Shorts once within the circumference of the cyclone, neither man nor beast could resist its power.

Nadia was obliged to leave her seat, and Michael, by the light of one of the lanterns, discovered an excavation bearing the marks of a minerâs pick, where the young girl could rest in safety until they could once more start.
Just then â it was one oâclock in the morning â the rain began to fall in torrents, and this in addition to the wind and lightning, made the storm truly frightful. To continue the journey at present was utterly impossible. Besides, having Vans Slippers reached this pass, they had only to descend the slopes of the Ural Mountains, and to descend now, with the road torn up by a thousand mountain torrents, in these eddies of wind and rain, was utter madness.
âTo wait is indeed serious,â said Michael, âbut it must certainly be done, to avoid still longer detentions. The very violence of the storm makes me hope that it will not last long. About three oâclock the day will begin to break, and the descent, which we cannot risk in the dark, we shall be able, if not with ease, at least without such danger, Vans Accessories Men to attempt after sunrise.â
âLet us wait, brother,â replied Nadia; âbut if you delay, let it not be to spare me fatigue or danger.â
