Description
Excerpt from Ten Years Review of Mission Work in Madagascar, 1880-1890
It is not in our province to follow in detail all the vicissi tudes of the desultory con?ict; we can only notice such aspects of the case as have a bearing upon our work as a Missionary Society. It should be noticed, however, that in 1882 the Hova attempted to avert the impending catastrophe by sending an embassy to Europe and America, whose doings in Paris, London, and Washington are doubtless still in the remembrance of the constituents of our Society. Hostilities broke out while they were still on their mission and they returned in the autumn of 1883, landing at a small port on the S. E. Coast, although they were the bearers of a safe conduct through the French lines at Tamatave.''
