The children of the families--quite a troop of juveniles--brought up the rear.
The church is of logs, like the other buildings.

It is old, unpainted, and shaped like a cross, lacking one of the arms.

The doors are large and clumsy, and the entrance is through a vestibule or hall.

The roof had been recently painted a brilliant red at the expense of the Variag's officers.

On the inside, the church has an antiquated appearance, but presents such an air of solidity as if inviting the earthquakes to come and see it.
There were no seats in the building, nor are there seats of any kind in the edifices of the same character in any part of Russia.
