I want to start the fishermen going out again, so that Adano will have something besides pasta and tomatoes and egg plant to eat. That's all there is to it." * "Boss, you're a kid Giuseppe." •'Giuseppe, do you want me to get another interpreter?" "Okay, a boss, you're not a kid Giuseppe." " I do want to see the old man. Will you fix that for me?” "That's what I'm a sorry, boss ” "What do you mean?" "Tina's old a man Tomasino no want a see you. a boss." "Why not? Did you say some thing about my wanting to go out with his daughter?” "Oh no, a boss. Old a man Toma sino say he never been in a Palazzo di Citta in a life. He hate a Fascist a crooks. He don't know you’re a different. He won't a come a here.” "That’s easy, Giuseppe. We'll go see him ." The M ajor looked at a pad of appointments he had begun to keep on his desk. "Be ready to go at three this afternoon, Giusep pe.” And so it happened that another precedent was broken in Adano. Never in the memory of anyone in the town had an official gone call ing on a citizen on business. Either the citizen had come willingly to the Palazzo, or else the citizen had been arrested, and had come against his will. Between the time of this conver sation and three o'clock. Giuseppe told several people about this amaz ing flexibility on the part of the Major. And therefore when it came time for them to go down to the port looking for old Tomasino, quite a large crowd had gathered in front of the Palazzo, and the crowd fol lowed the M ajor and Giuseppe as they walked. "Where do these people think they're going?" the Major asked Giuseppe. "Just a bunch a busybody," Giu seppe said. The M ajor turned around. "Go home, you people,” he said in Ital ian. "Don't you have anything bet ter to do at three in the afternoon?” But the people kept right on fol lowing Giuseppe and the Major. Giuseppe led the Major, and therefore the crowd, down to the harbor and past the stone pier, past the sulphur loading jetties, past the patent slips, past the Molo Martino di Ponente, where the were tied up. sensed that he was a tough time with old be said to Giuseppe: unless you. keep this crowd wail back, you will lose your job ” "What is an interpreter to us." people said. "when we have a chance to see something new in Adano? . . . This has never hap pened before . . . What is the un employment of one man?” And they kept moving forward. Giuseppe shouted: ‘The Major w ill be very angry if you do not stop right here.” And then he added softly: “Let us make a deal. If you stop, I will listen to the con versation, and I will tell you what is said." On this basis the crowd was will ing to stop. By this time, Major Joppolo had come to the boat of old Tomasino. He recognized the boat not only by the fact that there was a morose- looking man sitting on the after deck. but also by the illuminated inscription, with its letters trailing off into leaves and fruits, just under the eye-piece of the bow: Tina. The M ajor jumped up onto the bow. “All right, man of authority." said the morose man, “ arrest me.” “I haven’t come to arrest you, Tomasino,” the M ajor said. Giuseppe came running up to lis ten. He stayed on the mole, so that he could commute easily between actors and audience. "Why are you wearing your pis tol?” the morose man said. "Shoot me, go ahead, shoot me.” “ I always wear my pistol, Toma sino,” the M ajor said. "You have come to arrest me be cause I refused to go and see the American M ajo r,” the morose man said. "That is not true,” the Major said. "Then why have you brought this informer, Ribaudo Giuseppe, who asked me to go see the American M ajor, and to whom I refused?” " I am the American Major, Tom asino." Tomasino did not bat an eye. "Why have you brought this crowd, m m i if you were not planning to arrest me’ " I " I didn't bring it, Tomasino, It just came. I don't want the crowd any more than you do. I just want to talk with you about fishing.” " I do not believe it," the morose man said. "All men of authority are alike. You came to arrest me, or perhaps to shoot me." “I beg you to believe me," the Major said. Giuseppe whistled to himself and ran back to the crowd. " It is amaz ing," he said impressively. "The Major said to Tomasino: ‘1 beg you to believe me.' " " 'Beg,' " said the people in the front of the crowd. "Amazing." "There has never been such a begging," others said. "The Mister Major is willing to be a beggar to this Tomasino." "What did he say?" shouted peo ple in the back of the crowd. "He said: 'I beg you, Tomasi no,' " shouted people in the front of the crowd. "Amazing," shouted the ones in back. Giuseppe ran back out onto the mole. The Major was saying: " It is this, Tomasino: I want you and the obi ers to start fishing again.” "Why?” said the morose Toma sino. "So we can line the pockets of the authorities?" "No, Tomasino. so that you can . u. rtATu»«» iT T ri^ :' ~ ~ Pattern No I350 Is dralgned for sizes I , 3. 4, 9 and H years.

I don't believe that you are any different from all the oth ers.” Here Major Joppolo got angry. "Old fisherman,” he said, “you will have to understand something. The people of Adano are hungry. They must have fish. Do you get that through your thick skull?” Giuseppe ran back to the crowd. “ It is wonderful,” he said. "The Mister Major said: ‘The people of Adano are hungry. They must have fish.' ” The people in front repeated this and then shouted at the top of their voices: “Live the Mister Major! Live the Mister M ajo r!” The people in back shouted: "What did he say?” The people in front shouted: "He thinks we ought to have fish for our hunger." The whole crowd shouted then: "Live the Mister M ajor!” Tomasino on the boat heard this, and it made him suspicious. "Why have you hired these people to come and jeer at me? No, I will not go fishing.” Major Joppolo shouted to Giusep pe in English: "Make the people go away! They are ruining every thing." Giuseppe passed on the M ajor’s request, but the people Just laughed at him. "Now?” they said. "You are crazy. Interpreter. Speaking two languages has made you crazy.” Giuseppe shouted to the Major: “I'm a can’t a do nothing, a boss.” So the M ajor said to Tomasino: "W ait for me.
