Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Life of Napoleon, Vol. 3 On the 9th of October, 1799, (16th of Vendémiaire, year VIII.) the frigates La Muiron and La Carrere and the xebecs La Revanche and La Fortune, with which Buonaparte had sailed from Rosetta, cast anchor at break of day in the gulf of Frejus. No sooner were the French frigates descried than it was conjectured they came from Egypt. The people ran in crowds to the shore, eager for news from the army. It was soon understood that Napoleon was on board, and such was the enthusiasm among the people, that even the wounded soldiers got out of the hospitals in spite of the guards, and went to the shore. The spectators wept for joy. In a moment the sea was covered with boats. The officers belonging to the fortifications and the customs, the crews of the ships that were anchored in the road, in short, everybody thronged round the frigates. General Pereymont, who commanded on the coast, was the first to go on board. Thus they were allowed to enter without waiting for the officers of quarantine, for the communication with the ships had been general.
