A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

The Havas Agency reports :M arseilles, May i8. This afternoon at 4o clock St. Magloire set foot in France. It was anticipated that the return of the wellknown traveller would attract vast numbers of spectators, but no one foresaw that the event would produce such a tumultuous demonstration. The local papers had annoimced the time of his arrival, and long before the Plata had made port a huge crowd collected on the platform of the Harbour Station, and in the neighbouring streets. The police, surprised by these unexpected throngs, promptly threw a cordon round the landing stage. Neither the Prefect nor the Bishop was represented :but a number of priests and missionaries, who have recently returned from A frica, were to be seen in the crowd. Directly the gangway was lowered, the onlookers rushed to the landing stage, and burst right through the cordon. For some moments there was pandemonium. The men shouted and cheered St. Magloire, while the women threw flowers and kisses. The saint was soon recognised, thanks to a photograph which had already made his features familiar. The crowd wanted to carry him in triumph, but the explorer, who has retained all his youthful strength in spite of his sixty years, valiantly resisted the attempt. Escorted by over five thousand people, he had no easy task in reaching his hotel. Traffic had to be held up all along the route, for the human wave surged over the Quai La Joliette and the Rue de la Republique.

Présentation de l'éditeur

This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work. While some publishers have opted to apply OCR (optical character recognition) technology to the process, we believe this leads to sub-optimal results (frequent typographical errors, strange characters and confusing formatting) and does not adequately preserve the historical character of the original artifact. We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself. Despite these occasional imperfections, we have brought it back into print as part of our ongoing global book preservation commitment, providing customers with access to the best possible historical reprints. We appreciate your understanding of these occasional imperfections, and sincerely hope you enjoy seeing the book in a format as close as possible to that intended by the original publisher.
