Scope and content
This short story is about an ordeal which the crew of the trawler Pompei experienced during a storm. The trawler together with a crew of thirteen men were on its way to the port of Lampedusa. The lighthouse of the port of Lampedusa was in sight, when a storm brew-up from the north west. The storm was so strong that the large trawler was almost going to capsize. The trawler’s captain Girlando Policardi who was an experienced sea captain from Lampedusa, was terrified and handed the helm to the trawler’s owner Giuseppi Zerafa, known as Ir-Rocky. The youngest member of the crew Giuseppe Mattina, who was 13 years old, was very seasick. After a twenty-four-hour ordeal they managed to arrive safely at the port of Lampedusa.
