The two ships finally reached Saint Helena on 8 October and in the roadstead found the French brig <i><a href="/w/index.php?title=French_brig_Oreste_(1833)&action=edit&redlink=1" class="new" title="French brig Oreste (1833) (page does not exist)">Oreste</a></i>, commanded by Doret, who had been one of the ensigns who had come up with a daring plan at <a href="/wiki/%C3%8Ele-d%27Aix" title="Île-d'Aix">île-d'Aix</a> to get Napoleon away on a lugger after Waterloo and who would later become a <a href="/wiki/Lieutenant_commander" title="Lieutenant commander"><i>capitaine de corvette</i></a>. Doret had arrived at Saint Helena to pay his last respects to Napoleon but he also brought worrying news – the <a href="/wiki/Oriental_Crisis_of_1840" title="Oriental Crisis of 1840">Egyptian incident</a>, combined with Thiers' aggressive policy, were very close to causing a diplomatic rupture between France and the UK. Joinville knew that the ceremony would be respected but began to fear he would be intercepted by British ships on the return trip. </p><p>The mission disembarked the following day and went to <a href="/wiki/Plantation_House,_Saint_Helena" title="Plantation House, Saint Helena">Plantation House</a>, where the island's governor, <a href="/wiki/Major_general_(United_Kingdom)" title="Major general (United Kingdom)">Major General</a> <a href="/wiki/George_Middlemore" title="George Middlemore">George Middlemore</a> was waiting for them. After a long interview with Joinville (with the rest of the mission waiting impatiently in the lounge), Middlemore appeared before the rest of the mission and announced "Gentlemen, the Emperor's mortal remains will be handed over to you on Thursday 15 October". The mission then set off for Longwood, via the <a href="/wiki/Valley_of_the_Tomb" title="Valley of the Tomb">Valley of the Tomb</a> (or Geranium Valley).<sup id="cite_ref-13" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-13"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>13<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> Napoleon's tomb was in a solitary spot, covered by three slabs placed level with the soil. This very simple monument was surrounded by an iron grille, solidly fixed on a base and shaded by a <a href="/wiki/Salix_babylonica#Horticultural_selections_and_related_hybrids" title="Salix babylonica">weeping willow</a>, with another such tree lying dead by its side. All this was surrounded by a wooden fence and very close by was a spring whose fresh and clear water Napoleon had enjoyed. At the gate to the enclosure, Joinville dismounted, bared his head, and approached the iron grille, followed by the rest of the mission. In a deep silence they contemplated the severe and bare tomb. After half an hour Joinville remounted and the expedition continued on its way. Lady Torbet, owner of the land where the tomb was sited, had set up a booth to sell refreshments for the few pilgrims to the tomb and was unhappy about the exhumation since it would eliminate her already small profits from it. They then went in pilgrimage to Longwood, which was in a very ruinous state – the furniture had disappeared, many walls were covered with graffiti, Napoleon's bedroom had become a stable where a farmer pastured his beasts and got a little extra income by guiding visitors around it. The sailors from <i>Oreste</i> grabbed the billiard table, which had been spared by the goats and sheep, and carried off the tapestry and anything else they could carry, all the while being shouted at by the farmer with demands for compensation. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Exhumation">Exhumation</h3><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Retour_des_cendres&action=edit&section=10" title="Edit section: Exhumation"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <figure class="mw-default-size" typeof="mw:File/Thumb"><a href="/wiki/File:Napoleon%27s_casket_opened_in_1840.jpg" class="mw-file-description"><img src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/e/e8/Napoleon%27s_casket_opened_in_1840.jpg/220px-Napoleon%27s_casket_opened_in_1840.jpg" decoding="async" width="220" height="173" class="mw-file-element" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/e/e8/Napoleon%27s_casket_opened_in_1840.jpg/330px-Napoleon%27s_casket_opened_in_1840.jpg 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/e/e8/Napoleon%27s_casket_opened_in_1840.jpg/440px-Napoleon%27s_casket_opened_in_1840.jpg 2x" data-file-width="758" data-file-height="595" /></a><figcaption>Opening of Napoleon's casket, Valley of the Tomb, 14 October 1840</figcaption></figure> <p>The party returned to the Valley of the Tomb at midnight on 14 October, though Joinville remained on board ship since all the operations up until the coffin's arrival at the embarkation point would be carried out by British soldiers rather than French sailors, and so he felt he could not be present at work that he could not direct. The French section of the party was led by the Count of Rohan-Chabot and included generals Bertrand and Gourgaud, Emmanuel de Las Cases, the Emperor's old servants, Abbé Coquereau, two choirboys, captains Guyet, Charner, and Doret, Dr. Guillard (chief surgeon of the <i>Belle-Poule</i>), and a lead-worker, Monsieur Leroux. The British section was made up of William Wilde, Colonel Hodson and Mr Scale (members of the island's colonial council), Mr. Thomas, Mr. Brooke, Colonel Trelawney (the island's artillery commander), Lieutenant Littlehales, Captain Alexander (representing Middlemore, who was indisposed, although he eventually arrived accompanied by his son and an aide), and Mr. Darling (interior decorator at Longwood during Napoleon's captivity).<sup id="cite_ref-lindsay_14-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-lindsay-14"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>14<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>By the light of torches, the British soldiers set to work. They removed the grille, then the stones that formed a border to the tomb. The topsoil had already been removed and the French shared among themselves the flowers that had been growing in it. The soldiers then pulled up the three slabs that were closing the pit over. Long efforts were needed to break through the masonry enclosing the coffin. At 9:30 the last slab was raised and the coffin could be seen. Coquereau took some water from the nearby spring, blessed it and sprinkled it over the coffin, before reciting the psalm <i><a href="/wiki/Psalm_130" title="Psalm 130">De profundis</a></i>. The coffin was raised and transported into a large blue and white striped tent that had been put up the previous day. Then they proceeded to open the bier, in complete silence. The first coffin, of <a href="/wiki/Mahogany" title="Mahogany">mahogany</a>, had to be sawn off at both ends to get out the second coffin, made of lead. Middlemore and Touchard then arrived and presented themselves, before the party proceeded to unsolder the lead coffin. The coffin inside this, again of mahogany, was remarkably well-preserved. Its screws were removed with difficulty. It was then possible to open, with infinite care, the final coffin, made of tin.<sup id="cite_ref-lindsay_14-1" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-lindsay-14"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>14<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p> <figure class="mw-default-size mw-halign-left" typeof="mw:File/Thumb"><a href="/wiki/File:Napol%C3%A9on_%C3%A0_l%27ouverture_du_cercueil.jpg" class="mw-file-description"><img src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/9/91/Napol%C3%A9on_%C3%A0_l%27ouverture_du_cercueil.jpg/440px-Napol%C3%A9on_%C3%A0_l%27ouverture_du_cercueil.jpg" decoding="async" width="440" height="371" class="mw-file-element" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/9/91/Napol%C3%A9on_%C3%A0_l%27ouverture_du_cercueil.jpg/660px-Napol%C3%A9on_%C3%A0_l%27ouverture_du_cercueil.jpg 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/9/91/Napol%C3%A9on_%C3%A0_l%27ouverture_du_cercueil.jpg/880px-Napol%C3%A9on_%C3%A0_l%27ouverture_du_cercueil.jpg 2x" data-file-width="1250" data-file-height="1054" /></a><figcaption>State of Napoleon's body at Saint Helena</figcaption></figure> <p>When the lid was lifted what appeared was described by a witness as "a white form – of uncertain shape", which was the only thing visible at first at the light of the torches, briefly sparking fears that the body had decomposed extensively; however, it was discovered that the white satin padding from the coffin lid had detached and fallen over Napoleon's body, covering it like a shroud. Guillard slowly rolled the satin back, from the feet up: The body laid comfortably in a natural position with the head resting over a cushion while its left forearm and hand laid over his left thigh; Napoleon's face was immediately recognisable and only the sides of the nose seemed to have slightly contracted but overall, the face seemed, on the opinion of the witnesses, peaceful, and his eyes were fully closed, the eyelids even retaining most of the eyelashes; at the same time, the mouth was slightly open, showing three white incisors. As the body became dehydrated, its hairs started to protrude more and more from the skin, making it look as if the hairs had grown; this being a common phenomenon in well-preserved bodies. In Napoleon's case, this phenomenon was most prominently displayed in what would have been his beard and his chin was stippled with the beginnings of a bluish beard. The hands for their part were very white and the fingers were thin and long; the fingernails were still intact and attached to the fingers and they seemed to have grown longer, also protruding because of the dryness of the skin.<sup id="cite_ref-gourgaud_15-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-gourgaud-15"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>15<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup><sup id="cite_ref-lindsay_14-2" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-lindsay-14"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>14<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> Napoleon wore his famous green uniform of the colonel of <a href="/wiki/Chasseur" title="Chasseur"><i>chasseurs</i></a> which was perfectly preserved; his chest was still crossed by the red ribbon of the <a href="/wiki/Legion_of_Honour" title="Legion of Honour">Legion of Honour</a>, but all other decorations and medals over the uniform were slightly tarnished.

After two minutes' examination, Guillard proposed that he continue examining the body and open the jars containing the heart and the stomach, in part so that they could confirm or disprove the findings of the autopsy performed by the British when Napoleon died and which had found a perforated ulcer in his stomach. Gourgaud, however, suppressing his tears, became angry and ordered that the coffin be closed at once. The doctor complied and replaced the satin padding, spraying it with a little <a href="/wiki/Creosote" title="Creosote">creosote</a> as a preservative before putting back on the original tin lid (though without re-soldering it) and the original mahogany lid. The original lead coffin was then re-soldered.<sup id="cite_ref-gourgaud_15-2" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-gourgaud-15"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>15<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>The original lead coffin and its contents were then placed into a new lead coffin brought in from France<sup id="cite_ref-16" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-16"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>16<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> which, once soldered, was placed into the ebony coffin with combination lock that had been brought from France. This ebony coffin, made in Paris, was 2.56m long, 1.05m wide, and 0.7m deep. Its design imitated classical Roman coffins. The lid bore the sole inscription "<i>Napoléon</i>" in gold letters. Each of the four sides was decorated with the letter N in gilded bronze and there were six strong bronze rings for handles. On the coffin were also inscribed the words "<i>Napoléon Empereur mort à Sainte-Hélène le 05 Mai 1821</i>" (Napoleon, Emperor, died at St Helena on 5 May 1821).<sup id="cite_ref-lindsay_14-3" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-lindsay-14"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>14<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>After the combination lock had been closed, the ebony coffin was placed in a new oak coffin, designed to protect that of ebony.

The coffin was covered with a large (4.3m by 2.8m) black pall made of single piece of velvet sown with golden bees and bearing eagles surmounted by imperial crowns at its corners as well as a large silver cross.

With infinite caution, the heavy coffin was placed in the launch. The French ships (up until then showing signs of mourning) hoisted their colours and all the ships present fired their guns. On <i>Belle Poule</i> 60 men were paraded, drums beat a salute, and funeral airs were played. </p><p>The coffin was hoisted onto the deck and its oak envelope was taken off.

No notable setback occurred to <i>Belle Poule</i> and <i>Favourite</i> during the first 13 days of this voyage, though on 31 October they met the merchantman <i>Hambourg</i>, whose captain gave Joinville news of Europe, confirming the news he had received from Doret. The threat of war was confirmed by the Dutch ship <i>Egmont</i>, en route for <a href="/wiki/Batavia,_Dutch_East_Indies" title="Batavia, Dutch East Indies">Batavia</a>. Joinville was sufficiently worried to summon the officers of both his ships to a council of war, to plan precautions to keep the remains out of harm's way should they meet British warships. He had <i>Belle Poule</i> prepared for possible battle. So that all the ship's guns could be mounted, the temporary cabins set up to house the commission to Saint Helena were demolished and the dividers between them, as well as their furniture, were thrown into the sea – earning the area the nickname "<i>Lacédémone</i>".<sup id="cite_ref-20" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-20"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>20<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> The crew were frequently drilled and called to action stations. Most importantly, he ordered <i>Favourite</i> to sail away immediately and make for the nearest French port. Joinville was aware that no British warship would attack the ship carrying the body, but also that they would be unlikely to extend the same generosity to <i>Favourite</i>. He doubted, with good reason, that he would be able to save the corvette if she got within range of an enemy ship, without risking his frigate and its precious cargo. Another hypothesis is that <i>Favourite</i> was the slower ship and would only have held <i>Belle Poule</i> back if they had been attacked. </p><p>On 27 November <i>Belle-Poule</i> was only 100 leagues from the coasts of France, without having encountered any British patrol. Nonetheless, her commander and crew continued with their precautions – even though these were now unnecessary, because Anglo-French tensions had ceased, after France had had to abandon Egypt and Thiers been forced to resign. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Arrival_in_France">Arrival in France</h3><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Retour_des_cendres&action=edit&section=13" title="Edit section: Arrival in France"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>In the meantime, in October 1840, a new ministry nominally presided over by Marshal <a href="/wiki/Jean-de-Dieu_Soult" title="Jean-de-Dieu Soult">Jean-de-Dieu Soult</a>, but in reality headed by <a href="/wiki/Fran%C3%A7ois_Guizot" title="François Guizot">François Guizot</a>, succeeded Thiers's cabinet in an attempt to resolve the crisis Thiers had provoked with the UK over the Middle East.
