All rights reserved.MICHAEL CORLEONE STOOD on a long wooden dock in Palermo and watched thegreat ocean liner set sail for America.He was to have sailed on thatship,but new in- structions had come from his father.He waved goodbye to the men on the little oshing boat who had brought him to thisdock,men who had guarded him these past years.The oshing boat rode thewhite wake of the ocean liner,a brave little duckling after its mother.The men on it waved back;he would see them no more.The dock itself was alive with scurrying laborers in caps and baggy clothes unloading otherships,loading trucks that had come to the long dock.They were small wirymen who looked more Arabic than Italian,wearing billed caps thatobscured their faces.Amongst them would be new body- guards making surehe came to no harm before he met with Don Croce Malo,Capo di Capi of the"Friends of the Friends,"as they were called here in Sicily.Newspapersand the outside world called them the Ma oa,but in Sicily the word Ma oanever passed the lips of the ordinary citizen.As they would never callDon Croce Malo the Capo di Capi but only "The Good Soul."In his two years of exile in Sicily,Michael had heard many tales about DonCroce,some so fantastic that he al- most did not believe in theexistence of such a man.But the instructions relayed from his father wereexplicit: he was ordered to have lunch with Don Croce this very day.And thetwo of them were to arrange for the escape from Sicily of the country 's greatestbandit, Salvatore Guiliano. Michael Corleone could not leave Sicilywithout Guiliano.Down at the end of the pier,no more than fifty yards away,a huge dark car wasparked in the narrow street. Standing before itwere three men,dark rectangles cut out of the glaring sheet of lightthat fell like a wall of gold from the sun.Michael walked toward them.Hepaused for a moment to light a cigarette and survey the city.Palermo rested in the bottom of a bowl created by an extinctvolcano,overwhelmed by mountains on three sides, and escaping in.
