Excerpt from Queer Things About Sicily
The big ?oods and little earthquakes which devastated the south of Sicily in September 1903, in such a manner as to recall the great earthquake of 1698, to which we owe the deluge of baroque churches, took far more people to Sicily than either visit of the German Emperor; and now, when the interest of the tourist in these catastrophes showed signs of being worked out, it has been revived by the subsidence of the mountain at Sutera, and two fresh brigand cases.
