Excerpt from How I Crossed Africa: From the Atlantic to the Indian Ocean, Through Unknown Countries, Discovery of the Great Zambesi Affluents, &C., Part I. The King's Rifle, Part II. The Coillard Family April had come to an end, and with the beginning of May set in the heat, which was very powerfully felt in Faro. I began to form projects for the summer, when one day I received a telegram requiring me to report my self immediately to the general in command of the division. On proceeding thither I found an order to repair without loss of time to the presence of the Minister of the Colonies. Adieu to home, adieu to dressing-gowns, adieu to slip pers! Adieu to the tranquil and placid life I had been spending amidst my dear ones I must return to the busy world once more. Four days later on, seated around a large table, in a great hall at the Ministry of Marine, were a dozen grave person ages, some with spectacles and some without, some old and others new, but all well known in the scientific or literary world, or for their public services, who had met together to discuss the often mooted question of Africa. This solemn session was presided over by the minister, José de Mello Gouvea. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
