Excerpt from Si Muore: Caporal Silvestro, Storia SempliceEntravamo in mare senza aiuto di corde, nè di stuoie, nè di assicelle, traballando sui ciottoli, e una volta entrati ce ne rimanemmo quasi sempre nelle acque basse, essendo che nessuno ancora avea pensato a mettere in alto mare un gavitello, un barile, una tentazione qualsiasi raccomandandola a un grosso sasso e a poche braccia di corda.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
