And especiallycheerfulness!" Perhaps this cheerfulness of strong minds is theinvincible weapon of those who, like Sommeiller and Favre, fight againstapathy or the bad faith of their adversaries! Like Favre howeverSommeiller had not the pleasure of being present at the consecration ofhis glory, for at the Mont Cenis banquet as at the St. Gothard the placereserved for the creator of the great work was empty. As disastrous as was the enterprise from a financial point of view whata triumph for Favr...e would have been the day on which he traversed fromone end to the other that 15 kilometers of tunnel that he had walkedover step by step since the first blow of the pick had struck the rockof the St. Gothard! But such a satisfaction was not to be reserved forhim. Suddenly, on the 19th of July, 1879, less than seven years afterthe beginning of the work, and six months before the meeting of theadits, in the course of one of his visits to the tunnel Favre wascarried off by the rupture of a blood vessel.
