Loyalty of a Wolf (Colour Litho)

Loyalty of a wolf. Off the Salerno coast, the Pietro Canonica motor ship crashed by a violent storm, launches desperate SOS. The Righi tanker rushes and rescues the eight crewmen; they declare that their captain, Nicola Carannante, is dead, victim of the explosion of a signal rocket. Before leaving the place of the accident, the Righi commander spells on the megaphone, several times, the name of his colleague. He is answered by the barks of Fox, the wolf dog who remained close to his master. Then the ship goes down. Illustration for La Domenica Del Corriere, 15 December 1957.
