     Даро́га была́ праз бало́та, але́ там ішла́ ўжо рабо́та, каб мо́жна было́ праз яго́ е́зьдзіць. Цэ́лая ро́та салда́таў рабі́ла гаць, кла́ла дрэ́ва, каме́ль пры камлі́, яко́е надво́зілі з ле́су мобілізава́ныя на гэ́та тутэ́йшыя сяля́не.

     The path was through a swamp, but work was already underway to make it passable. The whole company of soldiers was building a causeway, laying wood one log after another. The wood was brought from the forest by the mobilized for this purpose local peasants.
