Olenin also dismounted and, bending down, followed Lukashka.
They had hardly reached Gurka when two bullets whistled above them.
Lukashka looked around laughing at Olenin and stooped a little.
'Look out or they will kill you, Dmitri Andreich,' he said.

'You'd better go away--you have no business here.' But Olenin wanted absolutely to see the ABREKS.
From behind the mound he saw caps and muskets some two hundred paces off.

Suddenly a little cloud of smoke appeared from thence, and again a bullet whistled past.

The ABREKS were hiding in a marsh at the foot of the hill.

Olenin was much impressed by the place in which they sat.
