In the corridors and around the Malagasy compartment, the suitcases and the bags start to pile up, it feels like the departure. Close to the surface of &nparking” of the lane, the heavy material which must set out again is already piled up: empty helium bottles, camping material (tables and chairs) lent by the Army. Breakfast taken, the last thing left to do is to dismount the tent and to pack it. That is done within a wink and in a good mood in spite of the temperature which begins to climb.
At the said hour, in the shade of the coconut tree the closest to the lane, we see appearing the Transal which settles gently. The fevered ballet of relays starts at once, unloading of the supplies, the material and the personnel of relay. Mr. Mouchel-Blaisot, the Prefect of the TAAF, Mr. Jacques Maillard, the Ambassador of France in Maurice and Mr. Gerard Therry, the Director of the Weather, join us.
After having visited the weather station, the authorities are explained the work which we achieved, and will see the archaeological site which today only appears the beaconing. |
