A WILD ENGLISHMAN IN FRANCE

The Journal .k Maimere describes as follows the
astonishment caused in that village by the eudden appa-
rition of a strange Englishman in the River Sarthe :
"Some workmen were employed in the construction of
the new bridge of JuiW, when one of them, raising his
head, cried out, 'A wild man.' And so his fellow-work-
men might well believe, for at a little distance on the
Sarthe they saw a own. v.ory thinly clad, wearing an ex-
traordinary hcaddres,s, and rowing • long nar-
row boat with greal dexterity. A dog was his
only companion. At the bridge there was a dam,
which seemed to present an in,urmountable obstacle
to the hardy navigator, but he jumped into the water
with his dog, got over the barrier of tirnlrr, and pilling
Lis best over aloe. he continaid hi, voyage. A few
minutes after a fashionable cotiC, from Aleucen arrived
on the old bridge with a youcg and handsome lady.
Recognitions were exchanged between this. lady and the
sceming wild man, which showed thet they were old
acquaintanees."
This "wild" Englishman is described by the French
journals ea "Sir Wallace." and is stated to have come
down the River Sarthe from Alei:non to Mans, and pro-
ceeding towards the Loire.
