CHRISTCHURCH FRENCH CLUB
The route from Peru to Polynesia was sailed many times before the Kon Tiki expedition. Explorers like Bougainville, D’Urville, Du Fresne, LaPerouse and Alain Gerbault, sailed the route without radio communication and other helps, said Dr. John Moffatt, at a recent meeting of the Christchurch French Club. I Dr. Moffatt also spoke about the civilising influences of French missionary priests and sisters. Mr H. Honore, president of the club, presided at the meeting.
