Extraordinary descent spectacle then a public triumph
A Port St Louis Brittany report tells of a condemned galley slave Dewick Dufyar aged about twenty four being prepared for a test in a tower high above a crowd of ten thousand. He descended safely from a parapet after a brief ascent and a strong cordial, while dignitaries and onlookers celebrated with entertainment and a king’s bounty promised.
