I4ARDSHIpS OF 4 TRAVELLER
IN SIBERIA.


From Captain CocARANE's interesting
Narrative Of Pedestrian Journey through
Russia and Siberian Tartary, we make the
following extract;
"We halted for the night at the foot of a
mountainous peak sheltered from the cold
north wind, and as this was the first night
which was to pass in the open air; l Shall
describe the manner of it. in order that it
may be known how far Contrary to my
Calculations) our situation was susceptible
even of comfort.
"The first thing on my arrival, was to
unload the horses, loosen their saddles or
pads, take the bride out of their mouths,
and tie them to tree in such manner
that they could not eat The iakuti then
with their axes proceeded to fell timber,
while | and the Cossack with our lopatkas
or wooden spades cleared away the snow,
which was generally a couple of feet deep.
We then spread branches of the pine trees,
70 fortify us from the damp or cold earth
beneath u.s. good fire was now soon made,
and each bringing leather bag from the
baggage, furnished himself with seat. We
then put the kittle on the fire, and soon for
got the sufferings OF the day. Yet the wca-
1her was SO cold that we were almost oblig-
ed to creep into the fire; and as was much
worse off than the rest Of the party for warm
clothing, had recourse to every stratagcm
j could devise to keep my blood in circula-
tion. 1t was barely possible to keep one
side of the body from freezing, white the
other might be said to be roasting. Upon
the whole, slept tolerable well, although
was obliged to get up five or six times dur
ing the night to take walk or run for
the benefit Of my feet. While thus en-
ployed, | discovered that the Yakuti had
drawn the fire from our side to theirs, a
trick which / determined to counteract the
next night. | should here observe, that it
is the custom of the Yakuti to get to Ice
ward of the fire and then undressing them
selves, put the whole of. their clothes as a
shelter for one side oftheir bodies, while the
other side receives thorough roasting from
exposure to the fire; this plan also gives
them the benefit of the warmth Of their
bodies--The thermometer during the day
had ranged from 20 to IS degrees, according
TO the elevation OF the sun.
'The following d-y at thirty miles, we
again halted in the snow, which found had
the effect / desired, of keeping every part
of me alike warm, and | actually slept well
without any other covering than my clothes
thrown over me, whereas before had only
the consolation of knowing that il was in i
freezing state with one half of my Body, the
other was meanwhile roasting TO make
amends"
