An exploration was made as to the construction of a canal, 
which could easily be built 2 kilométres long. 
They afterwards passed the Pochmelnyj, Dolgij and Sjamanskij 
rapids, and on the 23rd August, the last on the Angara, the 
Strelkovskij, and after various adventures arrived eventually at 
Yeneseisk 
- The conclusion arrived at as to the navigability of the Angara 
was that a specially constructed steamer drawing 24” of water 
should be able to travel from Yeneseisk all the way to Irkutsk, 
and ascend all the rapids including even the Podun. 
The Angara, unlike other Siberian rivers, is almost entirely free 
from shifting sandbanks, 
The party travelled again in a tarantass from Yeneseisk to 
Tomsk, and thence by steamer to within 130 versts of Tjumen, 
being prevented by the lowness of the water from proceeding 
further and had a further journey of 437 versts in Tarantass to 
Ekaterinburg. 
On September 9th they passed the border line between Europe 
and Asia. and arrived in Petersburg on September 16th, after 
having in less than 3 months travelled about 14,000 versts, of 
which nearly 4,600 had been in a Tarantass.
