Joyce had been informed through an agent in England that there was a vacancy at the [[Berlitz Language School]], but when he arrived there was no position.{{sfn|Ellmann|1982|p= [https://archive.org/details/jamesjoyce0000ellm_n2o5/page/184 184]}} The couple stayed in Zurich for a little over a week.{{sfnm|ZJJF|n.d.|1loc=|Fischer|2021|2p=[{{Google books|id=-IETEAAAQBAJ|page=PA8|plainurl=yes}} 9]}} The director of the school sent Joyce on to [[Trieste]],{{sfn|Fischer|2021|p=[{{Google books|id=-IETEAAAQBAJ|page=PA8|plainurl=yes}} 9]}} which was part of the [[Austro-Hungarian Empire]] until the First World War.{{efn|Trieste is now in Italy.}} There was no vacancy there either.{{efn|After less than an hour in Trieste, Joyce found himself arrested and jailed when he got into the middle of an altercation between three sailors of the [[Royal Navy]] and Austro-Hungarian police. He had to be released by the British Vice-Consul.{{sfnm|Bowker|2011|1p=[https://www.jstor.org/stable/24598884?&seq=4 670]| Stanzel|2001|2p =[https://www.jstor.org/stable/25477813?seq=1 361]}} }} The director of the school in Trieste, Almidano Artifoni, secured a position for him in [[Pula|Pola]], then Austria-Hungary's major naval base,{{efn|It is now called Pula and is in Croatia.}} where he mainly taught English to naval officers.{{sfnm|Bowker|2012|1p=[https://archive.org/details/jamesjoycenewbio0000bowk/page/138 138]|Ellmann|1982|2p= [https://archive.org/details/jamesjoyce0000ellm_n2o5/page/186 186]}} Less than one month after the couple had left Ireland, Nora had become pregnant.{{sfn|Maddox|1989|p=[https://archive.org/details/nora00bren/page/57 57]}} Joyce soon became close friends with Alessandro Francini Bruni, the director of the school at Pola,{{sfnm|Francini Bruni|1922|1p=[https://archive.org/details/portraitsofartis0000unse_p0n8/page/4 4]|Ellmann|1982|2pp= [https://archive.org/details/jamesjoyce0000ellm_n2o5/page/186 186–187]}} and his wife Clothilde. By the beginning of 1905, the two families were living together.{{sfnm|Bowker|2012|1pp=[https://archive.org/details/jamesjoycenewbio0000bowk/page/139 139], [https://archive.org/details/jamesjoycenewbio0000bowk/page/142 142]|Maddox|1989|2p= [https://archive.org/details/nora00bren/page/56 56]}} Joyce kept writing when he could. He completed a short story for ''Dubliners'', "[[Clay (short story)|Clay]]", and worked on his novel ''Stephen Hero''.{{sfnm|1a1=Ellmann|1y=1982|1p=[https://archive.org/details/jamesjoyce0000ellm_n2o5/page/189 189]|2a1=Jackson|2a2=McGinley|2y=1993|2p=[https://archive.org/details/jamesjoycesdubli0000joyc/page/n207 94]}} He disliked Pola, calling it a "back-of-God-speed place—a naval Siberia",{{sfn|Joyce|1957|p= [https://archive.org/details/letters00joyc/page/57 57]|ps=: Letter to Mrs William Murray [Aunt Josephine], New Year's Eve 1904 }} and as soon as a job became available, he went to Trieste.{{sfnm|Bowker|2012|1p= [https://archive.org/details/jamesjoycenewbio0000bowk/page/142 142 ]|Costello|1992|2p =[https://archive.org/details/jamesjoyceyearso0000cost_l4b7/page/256 256]|Stanzel|2001|3p=[https://www.jstor.org/stable/25477813?seq=3 363]}}{{efn|It was later rumoured that Joyce had been evicted from Pola when the Austrians—having discovered an espionage ring in the city—expelled all [[Alien (law)|aliens]], but the evidence suggests that he moved because the position in Trieste was better.{{sfnm|McCourt|2000|1pp=[https://archive.org/details/yearsofbloomjame0000mcco/page/22 22–23]|Stanzel|2001|2p=[https://www.jstor.org/stable/25477813?seq=3 363]}}}} [[File:Caffe-stella-polare-trieste-2020.jpg|thumb|The Caffè Stella Polare in [[Trieste]] was often visited by Joyce.{{sfn|McCourt|2000|p=[https://archive.org/details/yearsofbloomjame0000mcco/page/235 235]}}|alt='Stella Polare', a café on the corner of an intersection.
