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.
