Impelled by hunger and cold, we repeated twenty times the despairing question, "How much farther is it?" and twenty times we received the stereotyped but indefinite answer of "cheimuk," near, or occasionally the encouraging assurance that we would arrive in a minute.
For the benefit of the future traveller, I give, however, a few native expressions for distances, with their numerical equivalents: "cheimuk" near, twenty versts; "bolshe nyet" there is no more, fifteen versts; "sey chas priyédem" we will arrive this minute, means any time in the course of the day or night; and "dailóko" far, is a week's journey.
