grace to the robber who had charge of him, that he converted him. The robber left his lawless trade, and became
a peaceable citizen; he related the circumstances to Sulpicius Severus, who has inserted them in his Life of the
saint.
On reaching Sabaria, Martin succeeded in converting his
mother to Christ, but his father persisted in his paganism.
Arianism was at that time prevalent in Illyrium and Pannonia.
Martin protested loudly against the heresy of the bishops,
and was publicly whipped and driven out of Sabaria. He
returned to Italy, and hearing that S. Hilary had been expelled his see by the Arians, settled at Milan in a solitary
place, where he led an eremitical life. His vehement, defiant
orthodoxy brought him again into trouble, and Auxentius,
the Arian bishop, drove him from his retirement. He then
took refuge in the isle of Gallinaria, now called Isoletta
d'Albenga, opposite Albenga on the Corniche Road. It
was a lovely spot, a tiny white islet set in the deep blue of
the tranquil sea, with the Maritime Alps cutting off the north
winds, fringing the northern horizon with their ragged, barren
peaks.
In this islet Martin nourished himself on roots; and nearly
poisoned himself by accidentally eating the hellebore, attractive by its dark green leaves and pale green flowers, growing
in profusion over the limestone slopes. Providentially the
spasms caused by the poison came on so rapidly as to check
him from eating enough to kill him; but he suffered great
pain, and lay at death's door.
After a while, having learned that S. Hilary was on his
way back to Poitiers, Martin left his sunny isle and followed
him. Hilary was rejoiced to see him again, and gave him a
retreat near Poitiers, where he founded the monastery since
called Liguge\
