Peter and his affrighted court hastened on board, continually looking over their shoul- ders fearing to catch a sight of the troops of the queen, whose appearance they every moment apprehended. But the_ ener- getic Catharine had anticipated this movement, and her emis- saries had already gained the soldiers of the garrison, and were in possession of Cronstadt.
As the two yachts, which conveyed Peter and his party, entered the harbor, they found the garrison, under arms, lining the coast. The ca...nnons were leveled, the matches lighted, and the moment the foremost yacht, which contained the emperor, cast anchor, a sentinel cried out, " Who comes there?" "The emperor, " was the answer from the yacht.
