about five in the morning
The trucks and the chauffeurs were all gone . In the garage we found Syvorotka tied with a rope and shot in the spine , and bleeding from scratches and other wounds . From the appearance of the garage we understood that there had been a struggle , but he could not speak comprehensively ; all we got from him were moanings , separate phrases and words like `` treason , '' `` run away , '' `` leave me die here , '' etc. , etc. , -- he was decidedly raving and very weak . We helped him as best we could and came back to the city at about five in the morning and Philip went to Nachman 's . They both reported that shortly after two o'clock , three of the trucks passed on the highway to Sysertsky Works . Some people were in them , and the Nachmans thought it was our affair , for the rumors had already reached them that the family had disappeared or had been executed . This Sysertsky direction is more or less correct for I know from Syvorotka that supplies were lately being sent continuously with him to Tubiuk .
