The Belogorsk fortress was situated at a distance of forty versts from Orenburg. The road lay along the steep bank of the Yaik. The river was not yet frozen over, and its leaden currentshowed dark and dreary between the monotonous snow-coveredbanks. ON either side stretched the Kirghisz steppe. I was plunged in meditation, for the greaer part melancholy. Garrison lifeheld few attractions for me.
