Lukashka was carried to the cart.

He continued to swear in Russian and in Tartar.
'No fear, I'll strangle him with my hands.

ANNA SENI!' he cried, struggling.

But he soon became quiet from weakness.
Olenin rode home.

In the evening he was told that Lukashka was at death's door, but that a Tartar from beyond the river had undertaken to cure him with herbs.
The bodies were brought to the village office.
