There was no time to lose. The horses and the sledges were made to cross the river in the centre, where the ice was still strong, while with great precautions, we started out in the direction of Kejma. Half way, near the cataract of Alpinsk, a horse succumbed. The shafts of the sledge were cut at once, but it was too late. The horse sank deep under the ice. After five days of toilsome walking, harrassed with fatigue, I reached Kejma. But... the expedition was no longer there ! At * fJ the local base of Gostrog, I was given horses with which to continue my route to Vanavare farm. Along our way in the Taiga, I was several times obliged to built rafts, with the help of my 3 postillions, so as to be able to cross the rivers. At last, with great difficulties, I reached Vanavare farm, where I found the whole of the expedition of the Academy of Sciences. L. K. Koulik had given up all hope of my arrival. We started out towards the spot where the meteorite had fallen proceeding by canoe, always keeping up the same speed. Every minute was precious, as the river in this locality, has many floating sand banks. Notwithstanding my entreaties, the expedition refused to halt so as to enable me to take cinematographic views. 7i
