3 knights each had their own page. The pages cant be left alone with another knight. Is there any way to cross everyone over the river without losing a page?

Question

Many years ago, three knights waited to cross the river Neva. Each knight had his own page, so there were 6 people. The boat they had could only carry two. The knights were ferocious killers and the pages were terrified. In fact, it was certain that any one of the pages would die of heart failure if he were not protected at every instant from the other knights by the presence of his own master. Was there any way to cross everyone over the river without losing a page?
