In former years q singular fishery
lourlshed on the island Of Santa Cat

the homeless cod. Scores OF Italian
fishermen. who could not speak a word.
or but few words. Of English, made
the attractive island their headquar-

bay OF Naples or Pelermo might have
thought that they had been trans

water. thick and heavy. with pictur-

and out OF the bays In a suspicious way
that suggested piracy or at least

OF the fish and a desire 20 see one

ground was on the southeast end Of
the island. near a huge bed Of kelp
that stretched along shore. forming a
perfect barrier against the heavy sea
that came pounding IN 10 break and
