A DRIVE THROUGH A SNOWSTORM IN THE FAMINE-STRICKEN DISTRICTS OF RUSSIA; We were nearly at the end of this ordeal of ice when the near-side horse fell, and in a second there was nothing to be seen but legs and tails and bits of harness flying about; while the driver and I, who, thanks to our felt boots, were able to stand on the ice, had hurriedly jumped out and had got hold of the sledge to prevent its disappearance into the river below., 1892 engraving
