I just discovered your website - here is some information concerning Paul
Boyton :

Paul Boyton met Jules Verne on December 1877 (Related in French newspapers
Phare de la Loire and Union Bretonne) -

see also his book (*The story of Paul BOYTON – Voyages on all the great
rivers of the world*...) :

Below Ancenis Paul was met by Jules Verne, the distinguished novelist, who
came up the river on a boat rowed by some of his sailors. He accompanied the
voyager all the way to Nantes, where the trip terminated. The two men became
great friends, the navigator enjoying the novelist's hospitality on his
yacht and also at his residence in Nantes. Monsieur Verne afterward made use
of the life-saving dress to illustrate scenes in a novel entitled "The
Tribulations of a Chinaman." Nantes was reached eight days from the time of
starting.

Jules Verne use French newpapers for describe the Life Preserving Dress and
some apparatus in The Tribulations of a Chinese in China
