And the Ship Sails On Page #3

write, I tell...

"Well, what do I want to tell

about?

"A sea voyage?

"A voyage through life, but it

is not told

"It is made"

Trivial, isn't it? Has this been

said already?

And better?

But everything has already been

said and done!

We're in the famous and smoky

boiler room

What is it?

This is the large boiler,

it never goes out

How many hours do they work

in here?

They are used to it

Captain, sir, we all have a

small favor to ask

- What did you say?

- Ask Madam Cuffari to sing!

Scream louder!

- We want to hear Cuffari sing!

- Are you crazy?

This is a crazy request!

- Friends, don't, on your life!

- Sing something, beautiful lady!

Bravo, bravo!

Bravo, bravo!

The keeper is a Turk.

He loves the big beast

- What did he say? Who

understood? -What a stink...

He says since he came

aboard he has had nothing to eat!

He needs to get some fresh air!

- How can you heal it?

- Who will stroll it on deck?

The other day you said the

beast was lovesick

- What name have you given it?

- See how humiliated it is!

Don't you ever wash, boy?

- You're having a bad time, eh?

- We made it go down

All animals on board suffer due

to the pitch and roll

Even when they're not with

their cage mates

- Pardon me.

- What?

- You have to take her out.

- Just a moment! I'll take her!

I was saying that this little

man was taken aboard in Genoa

We're taking him to Amsterdam

These pachyderms are always

a handful on board

Remember, Mr. Partexano, when

we took an elephant in?

No

- Do you?

- I wouldn't know.

Yes! No! The "City of Brescia".

A small rodent had the bad idea

of visiting the elephant

The beast, terrified, broke

his chains

and threw two sailors

into the sea

Even here we have rats?

Rats, dear madam,

are inevitable guests

They love sailing on the sea

Yes? He's in love. And that's the

effect it has on it?

- Love is debilitating.

- What are you saying?

When I'm in love I feel stronger,

get fatter, become twice as big

Love is healthy!

Who's this girl?

He's in love

On the guard

And now...

Daydreaming during the watch!

You're nuts!

Who is it? Help!

Let me go, you're hurting me!

I'll explain, I'm a journalist

I've used this disguise to meet

the Grand Duke

I must interview him.

Can't you help me?

He says he's a journalist, wants

to interview the Grand Duke

Listen! I'm a respectable

passenger aboard this ship

A famous journalist, performing

his professional duties,

informing his readers of world

events!

I'll complain to the captain.

A journalist in here! Awful!

He's a journalist, wishes to

interview the Grand Duke

He's an Italian journalist who

succeeded in getting in

He wants to ask you a few

questions

Your Highness!

- O.K., but with a translator.

- Let go of him!

Let go of him!

- I'm sorry.

- Never mind

The Grand Duke grants you an

interview with a translator

You'll ask your questions and

I'll translate them

- Thank you!

- You may start!

An interview! He doesn't know

I'm less than anyone else

We know you were a great fan of

this sublime artist,

and the fact that you wanted to

pay your respects in this trip

with your august presence has

touched everyone

In the name of your extraordinary

humanity I would like to ask

for a few words of comfort, of

hope for those who

live without knowing what fate

has in store for us

and feel threatened by the

international situation

Thanks

The Italian journalist says that

most men are unhappy

and it seems he wants a word of

comfort

What exactly is he asking for?

He asked, "What's your question?"

How does the Grand Duke see

the international situation

Thank you.

He wants your comments on

the international situation

We're all sitting on the edge

of a mountain

H.H. says, "We're all sitting on

the edge of a mountain"

Excuse me for interfering,

but the Grand Duke

said "the mouth..."

and then the rest.

Count Kunz corrects me. He says

Y.H. said "mouth of a mountain"

I though he said "edge"

What mouth?

He asks Your Highness "what

mouth?"

Excuse me.

The Grand Duke used a metaphor

He said we're all sitting

on the edge of a mountain

Count Huppenback says the Grand

Duke used a metaphor

and that the problem does not

lie in "edge" or "mouth"

However, I understood "edge"

- No, you see...

- No, no, edge

- However, you know...

- Edge

- He meant mouth!

- German is my 2nd language... edge!

Oh, my God!

- What does he want to say?

- I think H.H. wants to say...

Does he want to renege his duty?

Do you wish to leave Italy to its

tragic fate?

Your Highness, the journalist...

Pum! Pum! Pum! Translate

The Grand Duke says: "Pum! Pum!"

The mouth of a mountain?

That's the crater of a volcano!

We're sitting

on the mouth of a volcano!

Perfect!

Now I got it! It's a tragedy.

Thank you

The mouth of a mountain!

Undoubtedly, a catastrophe

The interview is over

"The interview is over"

Of course, I thank His Highness.

Gentlemen!

Look at Mommy!

Look!

Maestro, let us rehearse!

- Mr. Orlando.

- Thank you, my love

It's the second day, and all

is well

and in order to remember

this day,

photographs are taken

Two, no three! Four!

They're there, there

Our tenor, Fuciletto, would like

to be a dolphin

and the two song masters,

whale hunters

This is the funny thing about

sea voyages

After a few days, you feel as

if you'd been sailing forever

You feel you've always known

your fellow voyagers

Captain!

Stay put, like that!

Just one minute, please,

get ready

My grandfather always wanted

to have his portrait painted

He spent half his life sitting

for painters!

They had to sit longer

than we do!

Am I all right here?

How much happier our people

would be

if they were ruled by these

delicate hands

We're all waiting for that day

- Smile, Daddy!

- I am smiling!

Have you noticed that whenever

he deals we lose?

Mr. Orlando, we need

the press here!

Come with us. Our Russian says

his voice is so deep

that it causes catatonia

Good morning to you all!

A hen!

- Please.

- What?

A live hen!

- He wants a live hen!

- Yes, dear friends,

we're sorry to interrupt your

gastronomic activities,

but we really need a hen

- We have to perform an experiment.

- I need to put it here

Quite unusual but very

important

You all will attend. We've

got the captain's permission

I won't tell you what it's all

about because if it succeeds

it will be an extraordinary

surprise!

Does the chef agree?

Thank you all

- Thanks!

- You're welcome!

Come, we must document

this event for posterity

- What are you doing?

- Put it on top

No, turn it like this,

turn its head this way

Now please be silent

Maybe it'll lay an egg!

Look, it's sleeping now!

- Right, it closed its eyes!

- Incredible, poor chicken!

What's happened

to him?

- My God, he's sick! A doctor!

- Take him away from the fire!

- Hold his feet above his head!

- There, near the air!

A bit of water!

I noticed he was pale,
