On issuing from the Ural, it passes through Ekaterenburg, Kasirnov, Tioumen, Ishim, Omsk, Elamsk, Kolyvan, Tomsk, Krasnoiarsk, Nijni-Udinsk, Irkutsk, Verkne-Nertschink, Strelink, Albazine, Blagowstenks, Radde, Orlomskaya, Alexandrowskoe, and Nikolaevsk; and six roubles and nineteen copecks are paid for every word sent from one end to the other.
"I am sorry, sir, extremely sorry; we must only regret that we shall separate so soon! But on leaving Ekaterenburg it may be our fortunate fate to travel together, if only for a few days?" "Do you go on to Omsk?" asked Michael, after a moment's reflection.
There they intended to be guided by circumstances as to their route across the invaded country, either together or separately, according as their news-hunting instinct set them on one track or another. This road from Ekaterenburg to Ichim which passes through Irkutsk was the only one which Michael could take.
"Not a bit, and in all good faith is driving the fore part into Ekaterenburg." "Did I not tell you that it was a good joke, confrere?" cried Alcide. "Then, gentlemen, if you will follow me," said Michael, "we will return to my carriage, and " "But the telga," observed the Englishman.
Thus the town is the center of an important district, abounding in manufactories principally for the working and refining of gold and platina. Just now the population of Ekaterenburg had greatly increased; many Russians and Siberians, menaced by the Tartar invasion, having collected there.
"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."
"Whose hind wheels," added Alcide, "are warranted to arrive at the same time as its front wheels." Half an hour afterwards the energetic Frenchman had found a tarantass in which he and his companion at once seated themselves. Michael and Nadia once more entered their own carriage, and at twelve o'clock the two vehicles left the town of Ekaterenburg together.
So it happened that Blount and Alcide had not the slightest trouble in replacing, by a sound telga, the famous demi-carriage which had managed to take them to Ekaterenburg. As to Michael, he retained his tarantass, which was not much the worse for its journey across the Urals; and he had only to harness three good horses to it to take him swiftly over the road to Irkutsk.
Kasan is justly called the "Gate of Asia" and considered as the center of Siberian and Bokharian commerce; for two roads begin here and lead across the Ural Mountains. Michael Strogoff had very judiciously chosen the one by Perm and Ekaterenburg. It is the great stage road, well supplied with relays kept at the expense of the government, and is prolonged from Ishim to Irkutsk.
"And probably you will go from Perm to Ekaterenburg, since that is the best and safest route by which to cross the Ural Mountains?" "Probably." "Once past the frontier, we shall be in Siberia, that is to say in the midst of the invasion." "We shall be there." "Well! then, and only then, will be the time to say, Each for himself, and God for " "For me." "For you, all by yourself! Very well!
