• A missionary, belonging to the "Congregation of St. Lazarus" who traveled in Tibet.
• Death of the Abbe Huc, New York Times, April 21, 1860. He was born in Toulouse on August 1, 1813. Entered the order of Lazarist Fathers in Paris, ordained to priesthood in February of 1839 and a few days later sailed to Macao. His book Le Christianisme en Chine appeared in 1857.
• Huc's Chinese name was Ku Po-ch'a, while Gabet's was Ch'in. In November 1846, Gabet set sail for Europe from Macao. He wanted to be a missionary in Mongolia, but the doctors thought the cold climate would be bad for him, so in 1848 he was sent to Brazil instead. He lived there unhappily until he died in 1853. Huc stayed in Macao until 1848 and then went on to North China. In 1852 ill health made him return to France, and in 1853 he resigned the order. He tried to make a living by writing more books, The Chinese Empire and Christianity in China, Tartary and Tibet, although these books were mostly plagiarised from his own and other people's works. He died in 1860. Schuyler Cammann, New Light on Huc and Gabet: Their Expulsion from Lhasa in 1846, Far Eastern Quarterly, vol. 1, no. 4 (August 1942), pp. 348-363, especially pp. 352, 363.
