The excerpt represents the core issue or deciding factor on which you must meditate, and is drawn from Michael Strogoff by Jules Verne: would have much more to fear from man? It was probable.
However, should it become necessary, he would not hesi-
tate to abandon the beaten path to Irkutsk. To journey
then across the steppe he would, no doubt, run the risk
of finding himself without supplies. There would be, in
fact, no longer a well-marked road. Still, there must be
no hesitation.
Finally, towards half past three in the afternoon, Michael
Strogoff left the last depressions of the Baraba, and the
dry and hard soil of Siberia rang out once more beneath
his horse's hoofs.
