On entering the schooner he encountered Karl, the doctor's factotum, who had brought his little baggage and had just installed it in his cabin. "He could retire."... Then he looked over the crew. In addition to the three old Sicilians he now saw seven husky young fellows, blonde and stout, with rolled-up sleeves.
Pyrrhus victorious. Grand celebration. Result of the battle. He attacks the Mamertines. Is victorious. Pyrrhus forms new schemes. Want of seamen. The Sicilians are opposed to his plans. General rebellion in Sicily. Pyrrhus's character. He possesses no perseverance. New plan. Disastrous attempt to get back to Italy. Terrible conflict. Pyrrhus is wounded in the head. Shocking spectacle.
He had cried out, and his friend had heard and had answered. And Delarey had been left alone with the sun. "I'm afraid you must feel as if I were your enemy," he said. And as he spoke he was thinking, "Have I been this man's enemy?" "Oh no. Why?" "I deprived you of your wife. You've been all alone here." "I made friends of the Sicilians."
To the year marked by great achievements is added an event which seemed to have no relation to the interest of Rome, viz. that the Carthaginians, destined to be such formidable enemies, then, for the first times on the occasion of some disturbances among the Sicilians, transported an army into Sicily in aid of one of the parties.
The day of sailing was very fine, and the spectacle, witnessed by the Sicilians on shore, who watched the progress of it from every projecting point and headland as it moved majestically out of the harbor, was extremely grand.
There was but one mind and one wish or prayer among them all, that Dion would undertake the design, and come, though without either navy, men, horse, or arms; that he would simply put himself aboard any ship, and lend the Sicilians his person and name against Dionysius.
A lady in our party counted the carriages as they passed, and told us there were fifty-three, most of which would compare favorably with those of New York or London. This will give you some idea of the richness of Messina, which we had thought to be an unimportant town. The Sicilians are strict Roman Catholics and completely under the dominion of that faith.
Gaspare did not believe in priests. Very few Sicilians do. An uncle of his was a priest's son, and he had other reasons, quite sufficient to his mind, for being incredulous of the sanctity of those who celebrated the mass to which he seldom went. But he believed in God, and he believed superstitiously in the efficacy of the Madonna and in the powers of the saints.
Richard, irritated at the loss of his favourite, and incited by a report that Tancred, the King of Sicily, was fighting at the head of his own people, joined the melee with his boldest knights, and, beating back the Sicilians, attacked the city, sword in hand, stormed the battlements, tore down the flag of Sicily, and planted his own in its stead.
After spending the five succeeding years in pleading a variety of causes, and with the ablest Advocates of the time, I was declared an Aedile, and undertook the patronage of the Sicilians against Hortensius, who was then one of the Consuls elect.
