tundra to the next native camp, where he had a brother.
Arriving at midnight on the following day at the place
where he expected the camp to be, we found not a trace
either of people or animals. Our Tungus accordingly left
us alone on the tundra with a few reindeer, and
immediately started with a couple of animals to hunt up the camp.
Finally, after several hours, he returned, having succeeded
in his quest. In the meantime we slept on the open
tundra as best we could, in a temperature of 29° below
zero. Arriving at the camp, we found a couple of very
nice Tungus families. They were heathens, and complained
of the way the “baptised people” treated them. As natives
had done before, they wondered who we were, that we
did not cross ourselves, or swear at them and beat them.
