On Aug. 14, 1917, at 6:10 a. m., the perilous trip began. It took two trains to accommodate the travelers and their soldier jailers to Tiumen, whence they moved on to Tobolsk by river steamer. On the 18th the boat passed Pokrovskoie, birthplace of Rasputin. Standing on the deck the Czarina is said to have recalled the prophecy of Ras putin: "My death will be your death." At Tobolsk the exiles re mained Imprisoned until May of the following year, when all were transferred to Ekaterinburg. From May 23 confinement in the Ipatiev house in Ekaterin burg became increasingly brutal. Guards, on a high fence thrown around the place, taunted the royal family. The pent-up bit terness of 300 years was boiling over. Came Tuesday night, July 16, 1918, when Jurovsky knocked at Nicholas' door and ordered the family to arise and dress. A few minutes later and the seven Romanoffs, accompanied by four loyal aides, entered the narrow cellar of the Ipatiev house. Twelve guards at once surround ed them simultaneously raising their rifles. And as dawn broke a little later, 12 guards came out, leaving behind the bodies of the last of the Romanoffs. Nicho las appears on a 1913 stamp. ri 7 -v i2r TH N
