From Our Own Correspondent.
Noumea, Nov. 17.
M. Louis Bouvier, a Frenchman who is travelling round the world, arrived from the East by the last Laperouse.
He has been travelling since 1929, pass ing through Uentral and West Africa, and many of the South and Central American states. This globe-trotting explorer has also visited Spain, China, Japan, Siam and many other countries too numerous to mention. Prior to journeying to the Pacific Islands he completed a tour through the East Indies.
M. Bouvier always lives in a tent, this being the main portion of his outfit. In Noumea he placed his tent, with its little tricolor flag, on a bit of vacant land near Government House, and has received many callers there. He has given several lectures with lantern slides, and will later go in the country districts to exhibit his pictures.
