The day after the two carriages had left Ekaterenburg they reached the small town of Toulouguisk at seven o'clock in the morning, having covered two hundred and twenty versts, no event worthy of mention having occurred. The same evening, the 22d of July, they arrived at Tioumen. Tioumen, whose population is usually ten thousand inhabitants, then contained double that number.
As far as Tioumen, and even up to Novo-Zaimskoe, this road has slight inclines, which gentle undulations are the first signs of the slopes of the Ural Mountains. But after Novo-Zaimskoe begins the immense steppe. At Ichim, as we have said, the reporters intended to stop, that is at about four hundred and twenty miles from Ekaterenburg.
"The head of the police cannot state whether or not he has crossed the frontier." "Let a description of him be immediately dispatched to Nijni-Novgorod, Perm, Ekaterenburg, Kasirnov, Tioumen, Ishim, Omsk, Tomsk, and to all the telegraphic stations with which communication is yet open." "Your majesty's orders shall be instantly carried out." "You will observe the strictest silence as to this."
