One of the numerous incidents connected with the Sicilian
earthquake was the escape of an artilleryman named Gashane
Valente at Messina which was remarkable. A tidal-wave swept
him from inside the barracks out to sea, where a fishing boat
rescued him. He was landed near Messina, and ran without
stopping eleven hours, reaching Acireale, fifty-five miles away.
Terror gave him the necessary endurance.
