Updated: May 24, 2025

Labourers homing from the day's work greeted us now and again in the dimness, and presently one of these, plodding up behind us, broke forth into conversation: "Ben-a carry pack-a lik-a dat-a forty-two months army ol-a country," said the voice out of the darkness. It was an Italian labourer on his way to supper, interested in our knapsacks. "You're an Italian?" "Me come from Pal-aer-mo."
