«ant to see Tina's father because
you said he was the most respected
of all the fishermen. 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

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

“Hah,” said Tomasino bitterly, "a

"Tomasino, you don’t understand.
The Americans are different from
the Fascists.”
"Hah," said Tomasino. " I have
heard that before. The Mayor Cra-
pa said he was going to be different
from the Mayor Martoglio, and the
Mayor Nasta after him said he was
going to be different from the Mayor
Crapa. The only difference was
that the tribute and the protection

each time. How much protection

“ You have the wrong idea, Toma
sino.”
"Hah,” said the morose Toma
sino. " I am an old man. American.
I have seen men of authority come
and go. 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. Tomasino, I will show
you that I mean well toward you."
And he jumped down on the mole
