From the standpoint of the authorities , their situation was as desperate as ours . As I learned afterward , the Board of Prison Directors had been summoned by telegraph , and two companies of state militia were being rushed to the prison .
С точки зрения властей, их положение было таким же отчаянным, как и наше. Как я узнал потом, по телеграфу был созван совет директоров тюрьмы, и в тюрьму были срочно отправлены две роты государственной милиции.
