Scheutze IS thoroughly fami lar with that
country He says that from Irilutsk to
Iakutsk, which is the most rortherly Rus
sian post of any significance, is a distance
of about 1000 miles, and communication is
had only by sleds, or, in summer by RATS
down the river Lena. From Yakutsk to ust
Yansk, at the mouth of the Yena, where the
Russian trader is said to have heard from
Nansen, is distance of 1,aOo miles through
an unbroken wilderness. and the means of
communication are reindeer or dogs The
only travel between TakItsk and Ust Yarsk
Is confined to few halfbreed traders, who
go up to the latter point early in the winter
and stay through until the next spring.
Many months are required for the trip, and
so any news coming from Ust Yansk OF Nam
