The text was first published in 1934 and 1935 in the journal La Géographie. The author (1909–1956), after participating in the voyage, chronicled the cruise of the Korrigane around the world. Departing from the Galapagos, the Korrigane reached the Marquesas Islands, where it stayed from 20 August to 8 September. Tahiti was reached on 14 September, followed by Moorea and Bora-Bora on 31 October, before heading to New Zealand (O'Reilly).
