“Frangio was running as if she had grown wings on her feet. Sometimes she touched the sky and sometimes the earth, to warn the villagers to save whatever could still be saved. ‘Pirates, pirates... the devils of the sea have appeared... pirates!’”
Only two moments were needed, and human screams and shouts began to emerge from the rocks. It was as if the land itself had gained a mouth and voice and was rushing to warn the people of the impending danger. ‘Fire the bombs, fire the bombs!’ shouted the terrified people with one voice, urging the island's guard to fire the two cannon shots. This was the signal, so that everyone outside the Castle could hear it and rush to lock themselves within its safety.”
