Text Appearing Before Image:
oie navigable non interrompue se poursuit de la Selenga au Baïkal, delAngara au Yeniseï et du Yeniseï à lOcéan. De grands affluents sunissentà la Selenga, notamment lOuda de Transbaïkalie, dont la large vallée,descendue du Stanovoï, commence à une faible distance de lAmour. Laplaine dalluvions qua formée la Selenga à son embouchure dans le Baïkalborde le lac sur un front de plus de 50 kilomètres, et le fleuve sy<livise en huit ou dix bras, variant en importance relative, suivant lesérosions et les crues ; récemment le sol du delta seffondra sur un espaceconsidérable. La Selenga, le Bargouzin, aux rives peuplées de Bouriates, et la VerkhnayaAngara, parcourant le pays montagneux des Toungouses, dautres affluentsde moindre débit qui sajoutent aux pluies apportent au Baïkal un excédantliquide considérable, qui séchappe par lAngara, lun des fleuves puissants•de lAsie et roulant certainement plus de 5000 mètres cubes à la seconde. 1 Guslav Radde, ouvrage cité.
Text Appearing After Image:
O Si a =5 .a BAÏKAL, SELENGA, ANGARA. 745 Sorti dun large golfe dont les bords sont ombragés de mélèzes, ilentoure de ses flots bouillonnants la « pierre des Chamanes », glisseavec rapidité sur une pente inclinée de 50 à 40 centimètres par kilo-mètre, et bientôt engloutit dans son courant, sans quil en paraisse grossi,les rivières Irkout, Kouda, Kitoï, Belaya. Sa vitesse est si grande que soneau bleue, presque noire, fuit encore devant les berges dIrkoutsk quandtous ses affluents sont recouverts dune épaisse couche de glace. Lhiver adéjà commencé depuis longtemps avec ses froids persistants de 10 et20 degrés que le fleuve reste libre de glaçons ; mais ses eaux fumentconstamment : un brouillard intense sen échappe ; à peine peut-on voirdu haut des berges quelques bouillonnements rapides ou des fusées blan-chissantes, révélant que leau na pas cessé de couler. LAngara ne com-mence à geler quaprès un froid de 50 degrés dune durée de quelquesjours. Mais alors
