Thompson, Maurice. Noted author. Was traveling through BSL (incidentally on the same train with Sarah Bernhardt) in 1888 or 1889 when the train had trouble with one of its wheels. He was so pleased with the town that he canceled his planned interrupted vacation to California and remained in BSL for the summer with his family and indeed returned for many years thereafter. It was in BSL that he wrote "King of Honey Island" with scenes laid in BSL in the section between Carroll and Ulman Avenues. He had two daughters, Jesse and Agnes. (SCE Jubilee 1942 pg 17 col 3).
FAMOUS ACTRESS, FAMOUS AUTHOR ACCIDENTALLY MET IN BAY ST. LOUIS - Either in 1888 or 1889 an early morning L&N Mail Train, approaching Bay St. Louis over the bridge, lost a section of a wheel in the bay and was compelled to stop at Bay St. Louis for hours while the repair was made.
Captain Toulme who then operated the Crescent Hotel, was immediately notified to feed and take good care of all the train's passengers until they could be carried on through to New Orleans.
Captain Toulme agreed and Mrs. Toulme almost fainted. With a whole trainload of people to suddenly accommodate and feed, frantic for lack of food and competent help. Mrs. Toulme desperately sent out hurry calls to good friends and good neighbors who responded gallantly and promptly.
One of the impromptu waitress on that historic occasion was the wife of U. S. Congressman E. J. Bowers, who was terrified at the temperamental invectives (most of them in French and most of which she understood) hurled at all and sundry by one of the obviously distinguished and also obviously enraged female passengers.
In the clatter and confusion that accompanied the serving of the really excellent food Mrs. Bowers finally discovered that the irate personage was none other than the Divine Bernhardt herself surrounded by her equally distinguished but heartily eating cast. Sarah was in a blue rage. Her schedule had been shattered by an inconsiderate, ungallant piece of iron!
But on the same train enroute to California and at the same table opposite the seething Sarah was a quiet man accompanied by his family, who it was much later discovered was the equally famous Maurice Thompson, well known author of the then popular novel "Alice of old Vincennes."
As much as the world's greatest actress was perturbed, the equally renowned writer was enthralled.
It was this accidental stop-over at Bay St. Louis that caused him to cancel the California trip and spend all winter at Bay St. Louis. And, if the oldtimers will strain their memory a little, they remember that it was in Bay St. Louis that Maurice Thompson wrote his popular "King of Honey Island" with scenes laid in the section between Carroll and Ulman Avenues and along the beach.
