Very soon after, a white flag was seen waving from the road on the Plevna side of the bridge, and the joyful tidings spread like lightning amongst the Russians that the army of Osman Pacha was about THE FALL OF PLEVNA. 235 to surrender. Loud shouts, of which there was no mistaking the signification, went up from the serried Muscovite ranks, and the men shook hands with each other at the thoughts of their dreary vigils round Plevna being at an end.

He soon returned, however, in search of an officer of superior rank, qualified to treat for a capitulation. Many Russian officers, including General Skobe- loff, who had brought up the best part of his command as reinforcement, rode towards the bridge.
