A Pole or a Russian-German. "Hm, hm, very!" "Yes, severe climate, dog's cold. Going to stay in Tumen, or plan to go further?" he asked after a pause. "Going to stay, or going further, what do you ask for? But if it interests you going to stay for a while. If I croak here, or somewhere else you aren't going to attend my funeral. So what's the big idea?" "Oh, nothing, nothing!
My task was to go to Tumen in disguise, meet some people there, and through Goroshkin communicate with Marchenko. My instructions included.... Goroshkin brought me a passport of Mr. Andrei Andreivich Vysotsky I should address myself. "Your Excellency understands that nobody assumes any responsibility for your safety.
It is evident that the tragedy develops here. I would not be surprised to know that Lucie is somewhere around. With my pass from the Tumen soviet and a very sure feeling of a perfect disguise, I came yesterday to the local scoundrels, the "high commission of investigations" as they call this filthy, impossible place where they meet. It used to be the Ecclesiastical School in other days.
The best portion of Tumen is on a bluff eighty or a hundred feet above the river Tura. The lower town spreads over a wide meadow, and its numerous windmills at once reminded me of Stockton, California. We happened to arrive on market day, when the peasants from the surrounding country were gathered in all their glory for purposes of traffic.
Having already made mention of Tumen and Githerean, I shall now relate some remarkable particulars concerning them. Going from Tumen eastwards, or rather to the north-east, in seven days journey we arrive at the river Ledil , on the banks of which stands Githercan , a small insignificant town, laid waste, and in ruins.
You just must be in touch with the people," he said, "and be ready for what you were told to do, as we must have a man in Tumen. If I may suggest, you should not speak or act like a gentleman." I decided to joke a bit with Goroshkin: "Go to hell, you old fool," I said, "you damned plotter," and then I kicked a chair. To my great astonishment not a muscle twitched in Goroshkin's face.
In the first place, the origin of the Tumen Kiang Agreement supports this view. When the Japanese assumed suzerainty over Korea they raised certain questions as to the boundary between China and Korea. There were also outstanding several questions regarding railways and mines between China and Japan.
The wide steppe of Baraba, or Barabinsky, lies between Barnaool and the foot of the Ural mountains. There was no town where we expected to stop before reaching Tumen, fifteen hundred versts away. As the luxuries of life are not abundant on this road we stored our sleighs with provisions, and hoped to add bread and eggs at the stations.
According to reliable sources, the Korean population now amounts to over 200,000 which is more than the Chinese population itself. In 1909 an Agreement, known as the Tumen Kiang Boundary Agreement, was arrived at between China and Japan, who was then the acknowledged suzerain of Korea, dealing, inter alia, with the status of these Koreans.
My young Lord had with him a very faithful Siberian servant, well acquainted with the roads: We shunned the principal towns and cities, as Tumen, Soli Kamoskoi, and several others, by reason of their strictness in examining travellers, lest any of the banished persons of distinction should escape.
