THE TIGERS OF MOMPRACEM

Chapter 1: The Pirates Of Mompracem

On the night of the 20th of December 1849 an extremely violent hurricane crashed upon Mompracem, a savage island, of sinister fame, hideout for terrific pirates, located in the sea of Malesia, a few hundred miles from Borneo’s western coasts.

In the sky, pushed by an irresistible wind, ran like wild horses, and mixing confusedly, black masses of vapors, which, from time to time, let fall furious storms on the dark forests of the island; on the sea, likewise lifted by the wind, huge waves crashed unorderly and crushed furiously, confounding their howls with the blasts, now short and dry now unending, of the lightnings.

Neither from the huts lined up at the end of the island’s bay, nor from the forts defending it, nor from the numerous boats secured beyond the cliffs, nor from under the woods, nor from the stormy surface of the sea, there was a light to be seen; but those who, coming from east, had looked up, would have seen on the peak of an high cliff, right on the sea, two bright spots, two windows vividly lightened.

Who could ever hold vigil at such an hour and with a similar storm, in the island of the bloodthirsty pirates?

In a labyrinth of crushed trenches, falling-apart embankments, gutted cages, next to which one could still glimpse broken weapons and human bones, rose a large and solid hut, decorated on the roof by a big red flag, with a tiger head in the middle.

A room in that house is lightened, the walls are covered in heavy red fabrics, velvets and brocades, of high quality, but crumpled, torn and stained here and there, and the floor vanishes under an high layer of Persian rugs, gleaming gold, but them too ripped and dirtied.

In the middle there’s an ebony table, engraved with mother-of-pearl and decorated with silver friezes, full of bottles and glasses of the rarest crystal; in the corner stand erect big scaffolds, partly ruined, chock full of jars overboarding golden bracelets, earrings, rings, lockets, precious sacred decorations, contorted or crushed, of pearls doubtlessly coming from the famous shores of Ceylan, of emeralds, rubies and diamonds that shone like many suns, under the reflexes of a golden lamp hanging from the ceiling.

In a corner sits a Turkish sofa with trimmings torn here and there; in another an ebony armonium with the keyboard missing and upturned, in a chaos beyond words, are scattered rolled up rugs, gorgeous dresses, paintings maybe due to famous brushes, upturned lamps, straight or upside down bottles, whole or crushed glasses, and then carved Indian carabines, Spanish arquebuses, sables, swords, axes, knives, guns.

In such an oddly decorated room, a man sits on a precarious chair; he’s tall, slender, with a powerful musculature, his features manly, energic, fierce and oddly beautiful.

Long hair falls on his upper arms; an extremely black beard frames his slightly tanned face.

His forehead is ample, shadowed by two wonderful, sharply arched eyebrows, a small mouth that shows teeth as sharp as those of the beasts, as shiny as pearls; two extremely black eyes, of a gleam that charms, that burns, that casts down every other gaze.

He had been sitting for a few minutes, his gaze fixed on the lamp, his hands nervously enclosed around the rich saber, which dangled from a large, red silken scarf, wrapped around a blue velvet tunic with golden embrodery. A formidable downpour, which shook the house down to its foundations, suddenly tore him away from such immobility. He threw down his long tresses, he fixed on his head the turban decorated with a beautiful diamond, as big as a walnut, and quickly rose, darting around a gaze in which one could read something dark and menacing.

“It’s midnight,” he muttered. “Midnight, and he still isn’t back!”

He slowly emptied a glass full of an amber liquid, then he opened the door, strode amongst the trenches that defended the hut and stopped on the brink of the great precipice, at which base the sea roared furiously. For a few minutes he stayed there, arms crossed, as still as the peak that supported him, breathing with pleasure the terrifying blows of the storm and gazing upon the upturned sea, then he slowly retreated, went back into the hut and stopped in front of the armonium.

“What a contrast!” he exclaimed. “Outside, the hurricane; inside, me. Which is the most dangerous?”

He brushed his fingers against the keyboard, producing extremely fast sounds, which had something strange, savage and then slowed down, until they extinguished amongst the thunders and the howling wind.

All of a sudden, he sharply turned his head towards the half-open door. For a moment he stood, listening, curved forward, his ears awake; then he quickly got out, right to the brink of the precipice.

In the brief light of a lightning he saw a small trunk of wood, the veils nearly lowered, enter the bay and mix with the still boats. Our man brought a golden whistle to his lips and sent three shrill notes; an high-pitched whistle answered a moment later.

-It’s him!- he exclaimed with true emotion. -It was about time!

Five minutes later a human being, huddled in a soaked cloak, stood in front of the hut.

“Yanez!” exclaimed the man with the turban, throwing his arms around him.

“Sandokan!” answered the newcomer, with a strong foreign accent. “Brr! What a hellish night, little brother”

“Come in!”

They quickly crossed the trenches and entered the lit up room, closing the door behind them.

Sandokan filled two glasses and giving one to the stranger, who had got rid from the cloak and the carabina at his neck, he told him with an accent of almost affection: “Drink, my good Yanez”

“To your health, Sandokan”

“To yours”

They emptied their glasses and sat at the table.

The newcomer was a man of about thirty-three or thirty-four years, that is, slightly older than his companion. He was of average height, extremely sturdy, with a very pale skin, regular features, clever grey eyes, his lips thin and sneering, clues of a steel will. One could tell at a glance that he was not only European, but belonging to some Southern race.

“Well, Yanez?” asked Sandokan with a certain emotion. “Did you see the golden-haired maiden?”

“I didn’t, but I do know what you wanted to know”

“Didn’t you go to Labuan?”

“Yes, but you’ll understand, on those coasts guarded by English cruisers, landing is difficult for people of our kind”

“Tell me about this maiden. Who is she?”

“I’ll tell you, she’s a marvelously beautiful creature, so beautiful that she’d bewitch the most formidable pirate”

“Ah!” exclaimed Sandokan.

“They told me her hair is as blonde as gold, her eyes more blue than the sea, her flesh as white as alabaster. I know that Alamba, one of our fiercest pirates, one evening saw her taking a walk in the island’s woods and he was so struck by such beauty that he stopped the boat to admire her better, at risk of getting butchered by the English cruisers”

“But, to whom does she belong?”

“Some say she’s the daughter of a colonist; others of a lord; other still that she’s no less than a relative of the governor of Labuan”

“Strange creature” Sandokan murmured, pressing his forehead on his hands.

“And so …?” Yanez asked.

The pirate didn’t answer. He had briskly risen under a lively emotion and he had gone in front of the harmonium, sliding his fingers on the keys.

Yanez just smiled and, taking out an old mandola, started plucking at its chords, saying:

“That’s good! Let’s do some music”

But he had barely begun playing a Portuguese little tune, wheen he saw Sandokan briskly approach the table, pressing his hands on it with such strenght as to bend it.

He wasn’t the same man anymore: his brow was stormly furrowed, his eyes shone darkly, his lips, retracted, showed convulsely clenched teeth, his limbs shivered. In that moment he was the formidable leader of the fierce Mompracem pirates, the man who had been bloodying the coasts of Malaysia for ten years, the man who had fought terrible battles in every place, the man whose extraordinary boldness, whose untamed bravery had earned him the moniker of Tiger of Malaysia.

“Yanez!” he cried with a voice that no longer held anything human. “What did the English do at Labuan?”

“They get stronger” answered the European calmly.

“Perhaps they are plotting something against me?”

“I believe so”.

“Ah! You believe so? Just they dare raise a finger against my Mompracem! Tell them that just they dare defy the pirates in their hideouts! The Tiger will destroy them down to the last man and will drink all of their blood. Tell me, what do they say about me?”

“That’s time to end it with such a ferocious pirate”

“Do they hate me very much?”

“Enough that they’d be content with losing all of their ships, if it was to hang you”

“Ah!”

“Do you perhaps doubt it? Little brother, it’s many years since you do one worse than the other. Every coast bears the traces of your attacks; every village and every city has been assaulted and sacked by you; every Dutch, Spanish and English forts have received your cannonballs and the deep of the sea is littered by ships you took down”

“It’s true, but whose fault is it? Perhaps that the white men haven’t been ruthless with me? Perhaps that they didn’t dethrone me with the excuse that I was becoming too powerful? Perhaps that they didn’t murder my mother, my brother and sisters, to destroy my descendence? What wrong had I done them? The white race had never had to complain about me, yet it wanted to crush me. Now I hate them, be they Spanish, or Dutch, or English, or Portugueses like you, I abhor them and I’ll have terrible vengeance on them, I swore so on the corpses of my family and I’ll keep my word!

Yet, if I have been ruthless with my enemies, I hope some voice will raise to say that I have been generous sometimes”

“Not one, but a hundred, a thousand voices can say that you have been even too generous with the weak” said Yanez. “This can attest all those women fell in your power that you brought back in the docks of white man, at risk of being brought down by cruisers; this can say the weak tribes against the pillages of the arrogant, the poor sailor deprived of their woods by storms and that you saved from the waves and covered in presents, and a hundred, a thousand others that will always remember your benefits, Sandokan.

But now tell me, little brother, what do you think to conclude?”

The Tiger of Malaysia didn’t answer. He had begun pacing up and down for the room with his arms crossed and his chin pressed down on his chest. What was that formidable man thinking about? The Portuguese Yanez, for whatever long he had known him, couldn’t have guessed.

“Sandokan” he said after a few minutes. “What are you thinking about?”

The Tiger stopped, staring at him, but still didn’t answer.

“Do you have some thoughts that torments you?” asked Yanez. “Ah! One would say you worry that the English hate you so much”

Again, the pirate remained silent.

The Portuguese rose, lit a cigarette and proceeded towards a door hidden in the tapestry, saying:

“Good night, little brother”

Sandokan was startled at these words and, stopping the Portuguese with a gesture, said:

“One word, Yanez”

“Speak then”

“Do you know that I want to go to Labuan?”

“You! … To Labuan!”

"Why such surprise?"

"Because you're too daring and you'd do something foolish in the hideout of your fiercest enemies"

Sandokan stared at him with blazing eyes and emitted a sort of low growl.

“Brother” the Portuguese continued. “Don’t try your luck too much. Beware! The famelic England has put its eyes on our Mompracem and maybe is just waiting for your death to throw itself at your tiger cubs and destroy them. Beware, because I’ve seen a cruiser full of cannons and armed men run around in our waters, and that’s a lion that is waiting for nothing but a prey”

“But it will meet the Tiger!” cried Sandokan, clutching his fist and shaking from head to toe.

“Yes, he’ll meet him and perhaps hee will perish in the fight, but his death cry will reach the coasts of Labuan and others will move against you. many lions will die, because you’re strong and terrible, but the Tiger will die too!”

“I …!”

Sandokan had jumped forward, his muscles tight in his wrath, his eyes ablaze, his hands clenched as if he was clutching weapons. It lasted for a moment, through: he sat in front of the table, he drank in one gulp a cup still full and he said with a perfectly calm voice:

“You’re right, Yanez; yet I will go to Labuan tomorrow. An irresistible force draws me to these beaches, and a voice whispers to me that I must see the golden-haired maiden, that I must …”

“Sandokan …!”

“Silence, little brother: let’s go to sleep”

Morale della fiaba: tira più un pelo di *mistoconnettendodallaretepubblica* che un carro da buoi. If you’re learning Italian and you want to translate that, you’re welcome.

Anyway, I admit I laughed pretty much from start to finish. I had never read the Sandokan novels before, and … to a modern point of view, they’re pretty trashy, alright. Exoticism, Sandokan’s almost histrionic attitude, the way we are hit with a truckload of exposition in the most obnoxiously tell-don’t-show way …well. Let’s try to explain some of the context around it to understand why it was so popular, then.

First of all, this stylistic choice might have been motivated that it was published chapter-by-chapter in a magazine, like many novels of the time, so Salgari had to grab the reader's attention from the get-go. So, in this first chapter, we are already promised exotic extravagance, adventure, and romance. And these were things that the audiences of the time liked: it was in full exoticism, the fascination for places outside the western world (often exaggerated and embellished) ran rampant. It was the age of Stevenson with his Treasure Island, Rudyard Kipling with his jungle novels. If anything, Salgari gets points for taking squarely the side of the natives and painting the British Empire as a bunch of ruthless invaders instead of the heroes of civilization.

Then, right in this first chapter, we see a type of character foiling Salgari liked a lot: a boisterous, volatile, passionate personality who has by his side a phlegmatic, relaxed, cold character (Sandokan and Yanez).

The Tigers of Mompracem was first published between 1883 and 1884 in a literary magazine, and then as a complete novel in 1900. To be clear, the geography is mostly invented, because Salgari never traveled more south than Brindisi; the setting is all fruit of his literary researches in the library. Mompracem, for one, doesn't really exist, even if it was indicated in the maps back in Salgari's day; a lot of attempts were made to identify an actual physical place among the Malaysian islands, but nothing certain was reached.

This is all for the moment. I hope you liked this translation!

If you did, please consider supporting me with a ko-fi (link in reblog)?

I had quite an adventure in minecraft

All because i wanted to have bees

I set off after everyone else went off the server.

I found a village and a beehive.

Me, not knowing how bees work, tried to break the hive with an unenchanted axe and got bees angy at me so i hid in the village til morning.

I set off again, boat travel this time and came across a shipwreck.

Got some emeralds, diamonds, and a buried treasure map.

I follow the map, getting a heart of the sea but alas, i have no nautilus shells.

I head off again, determined to find a beehive and get honeycomb this time.

I come across acacia trees and a swamp, stopping for saplings, lilypads, and orchids.

I continue forth, and come across a jungle.

At the time i joined, i asked how to make scaffolding, and being told bamboo is only in a jungle, i was ecstatic to find this.

I grabbed a stack of bamboo, jungle saplings, and cocoa beans and run off into the nearby oak forest.

I come across wolves but i had no bones with me, sadge.

I finally find a beehive, now knowing how to get honeycomb and not get bees angry.

I set down orchids from earlier, to let the bees get pollen.

It takes about a day and a half, and i can use my shears for this moment.

I take the honeycomb, satisfied with my journey.

I pull out my lodestone compass and head home by boat.

I get off at the dock, running to put my new items in my chests.

On my adventure, i found three broken nether portals, which i took pictures of

Now, we have a nether portal at home, and i was struck with inspiration.

I finished building my sisters house and started the axolotl tank and started decorating our portal.

I based it off the first image, running between everyones houses looking for cobblestone, coal, or stone bricks.

And by about 10:30, it was all finished and i closed minecraft for the night.

What to See and Do in Vietnam?

Vietnam is a country that offers a variety of attractions and activities for all kinds of travelers. Here are some of the highlights that you should not miss:

Lake House Luxe: Soak Up Some Sun in These 4 Summer Wardrobe Essentials

There’s nothing quite like the solitude and scenic beauty of a mountain lake. Whether embarking on a family adventure, a romantic getaway, or flying solo, spending time at the premier lake destinations around the globe is always worthwhile.

Assembling the right wardrobe of travel clothes for women is essential to making the most out of your trip to Lake Emerald, Lake Malawi, or anywhere in between. For example, you’ll find Sweden can be a little chilly without your safari jacket, and the Philippines may have you overheating if you forget to pack a sleeveless top.

To make packing easier, check out this list of four essential pieces for your upcoming trip to one of the world’s most stunning lakes.

Bermuda Shorts for Boating and Hiking in Warm Weather

If you plan to spend the day on the water or explore the pine forests surrounding the lake, you need clothing that keeps you looking and feeling great without restricting your movement or making you overheat. That’s why Bermuda shorts are a superb option.

Their longer length makes them perfect for wandering around all day long. The best Bermuda shorts for a lake trip will be crafted from premium stretch performance fabric that’s extremely breathable and light, so you get a curve-hugging fit that won’t hold you back.

A Lightweight, Slim-Fitting Jacket for Changing Conditions

Storms can move in rapidly depending on the topography of your lake destination. Getting caught in a surprise burst of rain can ruin your day if it means you’re left soaked and shivering. That’s why you need an outer layer you can count on to keep the inclement weather at bay without compromising your natural elegance.

Slim-fitting safari jackets are renowned for their ability to elevate any outfit. Plus, they’re supremely versatile—safari jackets can keep you cozy on an uncomfortably cool flight just as well as they can prevent thunderstorms from raining on your parade.

Cozy, Elegant Pants for Travel

We’re specifically discussing lake wardrobes here, but no matter your destination, you need to have comfortable, lightweight pants for travel. The best ones are super versatile and look more polished than your typical leggings or jeans.

Skinny cargo pants are always a superb choice, especially if you’re flying. The right material makes all the difference, so find travel pants that use lightweight European performance fabrics and give a little stretch. All the better if your pants are wrinkle-free since you can pack them and wear them again without having to iron them.

Sleeveless Tops for Enjoying the Sun

Whether you’re visiting Lake Tahoe in July or Lake Victoria in early fall, these destinations have one thing in common: plenty of sunshine.

Long-sleeved tops and dresses might be the right idea for drinks and dinner, but you’ll want to have sleeveless tops during the day, at the very least. A sleeveless top will help you stay comfortable while you’re soaking up some rays. The best part is you can go straight from your lounge chair to the restaurant without a second thought.

Sleeveless tops are also a fantastic means of maintaining your distinguished look while traveling, especially in the tropics, so be sure to match them with your favorite travel pants.

An Emerald Escape

Time off from work? Check. Wife? Check. Family who are friends? Check. Friends who are family? Check. Dogs? Check, check. Animals? Check. (Lots! Deer, rabbits, turtles and birds from the balcony; pelicans, willets, sanderlings, gulls, herons, egrets, ibis, terns along the ocean and sound.) Weather? Who cares? Well, I do, but when you have all the other stuff AND you’re at a beach AND then you have good weather, life is rich, life is good.

Riding the wave of another highly successful Richmond Folk Festival —where we all volunteered — we drove south to Emerald Isle, North Carolina Sunday evening. Wendy and her dog Bailey got the earlier start, picked up the keys and even had our beds made when Janet, Sue, Cokie and I arrived at midnight.

Emerald Isle was one of the beaches to where Janet and I made inaugural visits during the pandemic. In fact, the house we rented this time is on the same culdesac. We are closer to the beach and have a “not too, too cold” (Janet’s quote upon first testing the waters) pool. The houses beside us are unoccupied and if not for the darn grounds crew performing their noisy duties at the condos across the back, it has been peaceful, relaxing, funny, delicious, educational, supportive and loving.

Janet has been a super-trooper, today marking three weeks down and one to go on wearing her brace for the mandatory 4 weeks after her shoulder injury repair. Wendy has “worked from home” all week and stayed with her running routine. Sue, Wendy and I have cycled. Bailey has run on the beach. Cokie has a new happy place, having discovered the treasure troves of the undeveloped maritime forest plot adjacent to our yard but only in the quiet and dark hours before sunrise. Oh Cokie.

And speaking of adventures, we humans went on one ourselves on Wednesday. Although Wendy had to stay back and work, she prepared us a delicious breakfast of avocado toast and poached eggs before Janet, Sue and I drove an hour north to Harkers Island Visitor Center in Cape Lookout National Seashore. There we boarded the 9:15 ferry. (Run by a private company but licensed by the NPS, round trip passage was $30; you paid extra for a dog and extra if you had more than 2 bags.) Across the Back Sound, enroute to our first stop, the boat pilot slowed so we could see a small island covered in pelicans. That was a lot of pelicans!

We chose to disembark at the first opportunity, on to an island called Shackleford Banks. Home to about 100 wild horses (and no pelicans!), we were fortunate enough to see about six of them! We followed a trail until it ended at a pond, studied and appreciated the plant life and reveled in the quietness and beauty. An hour later, the ferry picked us up and took us over to Cape Lookout.

North Carolina’s Outer Banks is home to five lighthouses: (From north to south:) Currituck, Bodie Island, Cape Hatteras, Ocracoke and Cape Lookout. The first four we have been to several times but Cape Lookout had eluded us until this week due to not being able to drive to it.

At Cape Lookout, we visited the gift shop and viewed the historical displays in the keeper’s cottage. We couldn’t climb the lighthouse as it is closed for repairs and safety improvements. The lighthouse itself is not in danger but inside, apparently it needs railings secured, some electrical work, painting etc. And with the limited budget of the National Park System, they don’t expect it to reopen to climbers until 2025.

From the lighthouse, we took a short but very mosquito infested hike out to a beautiful pristine beach. We spread out our towels, put on the suntan lotion and ate our picnic lunches while staring at the Atlantic.

We caught the 12:45 ferry back to Harkers Island and then went in the Visitors Center there before a stop in Beaufort for milkshakes.

Wednesday evening, we decided to try our luck with Cokie and all six of us piled in to my truck and went to The Pointe to watch the sunset. We got as close as we could to the path leading out to the beach but it also happened to be the same “road” that the 4-wheel drive vehicles were using to get on to and off the beach for their fishing excursions. While Wendy parked the truck and Janet sensibly took another route, Sue and I had a dog each and about met our maker when two trucks came barreling at us with the momentum they needed to get through the deep soft sand. We jumped out of the way and I think Cokie chose the lesser of two evils (in her little mind) and decided heading out to the beach was a better choice than going back to where all those trucks were! Yea Cokie!

We enjoyed a beautiful sunset and successfully got all God’s creatures back to the truck and to the house. Wendy drove over to Swansboro and picked up our take-out seafood boil. We feasted on fried calamari, crab legs, shrimp, mussels, Italian sausage, corn on the cob and potato. Yum yum. It was the appropriate meal to have after being out on the water. I want to think today’s boaters out there catching my dinner and ferrying tourists, despite the navigational aids and tools available to them, still look at these old lighthouses for guidance. I know my family and friends and those lighthouses will always be a part of my escape plan.
