The end was near. Subbenkov had walked a long road of suffering and horror, like a migrating pigeon, making his way home to European capitals. And here—farther from the goal than ever—in Russian America, the path abruptly ended. He sat on the snow with his hands tied behind his back, waiting for torture, and watched with curious interest the huge Cossack lying face down in front of him on the snow and groaning from pain.
