Philippeville

If we leave Philippeville in the evening, we find ourselves next morning in the handsome roadstead of Bona.

Philippeville, nursed among these glowing African hills, has the look of some bad melodramatic joke.

At that place Sarmiento had founded the colony of Philippeville in 1581.

Philippeville is interesting only because of its site, which lies on the beautiful Gulf of Stora, an ancient port of the Romans.

By chance M. de Bassano and I took the road to Philippeville.
