The SS Sirio's Dangerous Course (1906)

The Captain of the French steamer Marie Louise watched the Italian steamer, the SS Sirio, get closer and closer to the shore with some concern. It grabbed his attention enough that he commented to his first mate that the Sirio was taking a dangerous course. He had hardly finished speaking when the Sirio suddenly stopped, and the bow of the ship lifted. The Marie Louise changed her course.
