And the Ship Sails On Page #6

of the seeds

Please, don't lie to me.

Don't act like a child.

- But I didn't sign up, I swear!

- Don't swear at your mother!

She's not my protegee. I don't

care about Righini Biagetti

But you do. I don't question

your taste! Everyone wonders

how a handsome man like you can

lose his head for Righini B.!

- What about us?

- No

Mrs. Dongby, may I have

this dance?

Listen, I think I've got the

right to do what I want and

to give all the lighters in

the world to whoever I wish

That sailor reminds me of

a cousin of mine

Can't I give him a present? I

won't have my feelings checked

or be controlled day and night

as if I were a child

I'm forty years old,

leave me alone!

- Dorotea!

- Good evening

Sir, miss

- May I have the honor of...

- No!

Please! Thank you

Stop it now, Mother.

Sit down, please

Piltro, Piltro, a battleship!

Open, Open!

What are they signaling?

It's the flagship of the

Austro-Hungarian fleet

they want us to surrender the

Serbians we picked up

We'll send them

a telegraph

The refugees will be taken by

the officers of the battleship

Why are you so worried? It's an

Austro-Hungarian battleship, so?

What does the youngster say?

He says we'll all be

made prisoners

that you'll have to deliver

all of us

Excuse me, now let's see

Captain

There is an exchange with the

Austro-Hungarian battleship

- What do they say?

- I haven't intercepted them

Why are these people so afraid?

They tell me to bide my time.

To keep them in the forecastle

- Yes sir!

- Captain

The situation is as follows:

we're signaling

but I don't know the contents

of the messages

We should calm

the gentlemen down

The captain seems calm to me,

doesn't he?

You, Mr. Orlando, how do you

interpret the events?

- Are you also being mysterious?

- Look, right there!

On the forecastle

of the battleship

You can see the signaler's

flags moving

I cannot accept their demand

to hand over the refugees

Transmit that

"Hand them over immediately!"

- Ah, the Grand Duke.

- Good day

The captain is waiting

for you on the forecastle

Y.H., the Austrian ship demands

immediate delivery of the Serbs

Indicate that I'm on board

and the object of this trip

His Highness wishes to let them

know the object of this trip

Signal to the battleship that we

must get to the island of Erimo

- Yes, sir!

- Please, Your Highness

Please, I want to see

They allow us to get to the

island and send the Duke greetings

"They allow us to get to the island

and send the Duke greetings"

We go back on the course towards

the island, Your Highness!

That battleship, too,

knew and loved our Edmea?

The Grand Duke obtained from

the Austrian admiralty

a truce to let us perform

our funeral rite

In a short time we'll see

the island of Erimo

- And remove that daisy!

- You're in a mood

One day she told me this:

"You always talk of my voice,

"but sometimes I'm almost sure

it's not really mine

"I'm a voice,

"a diaphragm, breathing

"I don't know where the voice

comes from

"I'm just an instrument,

a simple girl

"who's even been afraid of this

voice that all my life and

"forced me to do what it wanted

- Squad, halt!

- Excuse me, Mr. Dongby,

- The ceremony's begun!

- To your left!

Mr. Partexano, proceed

Attention!

Hats off!

Psalm of David:

"The Lord is my Shepherd

"I shall not want

"He makes me lie down

in green pastures

"He leads me beside quiet water

"He restores my soul

"He guides me in the paths

of righteousness

"for His name's sake. Lord,

"listen to my prayer

"You know Man is only dust

and ashes

"Dust to dust, ashes to ashes

"The Lord will protect my exit

and my entrance

"From now on, and for all

eternity"

- Proceed.

- On the broadside!

Sailor!

Come, madame

Proceed, madame. Spread the

ashes on the cushion

Hats on!

To your right!

On the left row, go on, march!

Count von Huppenback

please go into your cabin

and stay there until

further orders

- What do you mean, sir?

- By Order of the Princess,

you're under arrest!

It would be lovely

if at this point the

commotion would've also touched

the hearts of the Austrians

and their battleship

would sail away

sending a touching salute

But it didn't happen like that

They wanted the Serbs back,

and how!

And it would have been

even more beautiful

if we, faced with such arrogance

would have said:
"No, we won't

give them up!"

No, we won't give them up!

On the other hand, the battleship

had to arrest the Serbs

It was an order from the

Austro-Hungarian police

and the Grand Duke of Herzog

was aboard, representing

the Austro-Hungarian empire!

Mirko!

As I was telling you

It's almost impossible to recall

the sequence of events

It seems that everything was

caused by the rashness

of the young Serb terrorist who

hurled the bomb against the ship

Can such a primitive and rough

hand bomb

hurled by a youngster cause a

historical catastrophe?

Are we certain that it was

the boy who threw the bomb?

If he was living a love story,

why did he run towards

his own destruction?

Apparently he did. The bomb seems

to have been thrown into the ship

and it exploded under the barrel

of a gun,

automatically causing a fire

Others say that they're

sure that automatically

the first gunshot triggered

off the fire

in the whole battery of the

enormous battleship

Others say that it wasn't the

Serb terrorist, nor the bomb,

but the battleship did it

on purpose

to bring about

an international incident

There's a fourth version, which

I haven't got the guts to tell

Apparently

Gentlemen, listen: you can save

yourselves, follow our orders!

Just a few remarks

before I finish:

I want to tell you that many of

the people you met were saved

A ship rescued the survivors

in the lifeboat

The lifeboat was

the "North Star"

and appeared miraculously

Unfortunately, I've heard

nothing more of the others

As for myself

I've got great news

Did you know that rhino milk

is first-class?
