Bougainville Island, the largest

TO one of the most gallant and
chivalrous of Australasian ex-
plorers, the soldier-explorer Louis
Antoine de Bougainville, a for
mer aide-de-camp TO General
Montcalm in Quebec. He was the
first French circumnavigator. Be-
ing as adventurous as de Gam
boa, he set forth with two ships
in 1865 to locate, II he could. the
undiscovered Terra Australis
where he had high hopes Of
founding a new French colony.
Today this island has a popu-
lation of some $4,000.
Even though his voyage was
unsuccessful - Cook discovered
Australia two years later-he did
touch at the Solomons where he
gave his name TO one island and
picked out another which he
called for his friend the Duo dc

lister.
