Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Adventures of My Life, Vol. 2 of 2 When things have looked most desperately gloomy, I have invariably been aided by luck or by the stupidity and ignorance of my adversaries. The governor of New Caledonia advised the home government to set apart the Ile des Pins, situated about ten leagues from Noumea, for the accommodation of prisoners sentenced to simple transportation, and the Ile Ducos, a desert spot at least twenty leagues distant from New Caledonia, as a place of banishment for those who had been sentenced to confinement in a fortified place. Imprisonment on this island, peopled only by mosquitoes, would have meant a lingering death for us, or perhaps a prompt one, so great would have been our privations, and so effectually should we have been devoured by insects. But when the governmental geographers consulted their atlases they could find no mention of the island, and confounded it with a peninsula of the same name.
