S. Martin. 261
excavate under the adjoining house, and before evening the
continuation of the foundations of the choir were laid bare,
and, crossed and somewhat injured by a thick wall of modern
date, appeared a small oblong enclosure of stone, something
between a coffin and a box. It showed signs of having once
been arched over, and there was every probability that it was
the sepulchre where the bones of S. Martin had once reposed.
It was now eleven o'clock at night; hour after hour had
passed in slow and careful search amidst the confused masses
of ancient and modern foundations, and more than thirty
persons were waiting in the outer cellar, communicating with
others by only a hole in the wall. When those within called
out that the ancient sepulchre had been found, a spontaneous
burst of voices gave out the " Magnificat," which was echoed
from cellar to cellar, and forth into the starlit street.
A modern church, in execrable taste, has been erected on
the site.
At Montmorency is an arm-bone of the saint. Some fragments at Liguge; others at S. Martin's at Liege; others at
Cologne. A body at Salzburg. Some oil, brought from
heaven to rub the skin of the saint when sore, was used for
the anointing of King Henry IV. in place of the oil of S.
Remigius at Rheims.
In art S. Martin is usually represented as a young tribune
on horseback, dividing his cloak to give half to a beggar.
