SURPRISE AIDED Castaways Beware! Some SICILY INVASION Tropical Fish Are Poisonous

Allied Move Caught Italian Defenders Unprepared.

WASHINGTON, July 16. — Fish caught in South Sea waters, whether for sport or by necessitous air-

[men or seamen adrift on life rafts,

are not always safe, warns a new publication of the Australian council for scientific and industrial research, prepared by G. P. Whitely, F. R. Z. S., copies of which have been received here. A number of species are definitely poisonous and must never be eaten,

several other kinds have venomous

stings or barbs, and a few, notably sharks, sea eels and a close relative

of our barracuda, viciously attack men in the water, Some of the species are not likely except under near-starvation conditions. One group, the box fishes, have hard armor over their heads and fore parts of their hodies—and very little flesh inside once this tough case is cracked. Two other groups, the puffers and porcupine fishes, have a habit of blowing themselves up with air until they resemble small balloons with fins and tails; the puffers are known in

| Australia by the suggestive name f “toadoes.” However, there are several species that are very attractive in appear-

ance and might well be cooked and

eaten bv incautious strangers. There!

is one known as the red bass, for example, that is as handsome a fish as an angler ever hauled in, burgundy red underneath, sooty on its back, with a yellow area back of the mouth and over the gill covers. Then there is the Chinaman fish, which besides being fine to look at puts up a game right when hooked. One of the difficult things about these two fishes is that they can be

eaten by some persons with impunity but are poisonous to others.

comes clearer as one of the great lessons of the allied invasion of Sicily. Impossible as it may seem, in Yiew of extensive daily aerial reconnaissance by axis planes, it is now known that the allies’ choice of Sicily as the first t step in the invasion of the European continent, came as a Ssurprise to the island's de fe nders. Plans for the invasion of Sicily were begun last March and immediately our air force¥ began bombIng the island to prepare it definitely for July invasion. Tremendous preparations in North Africa were partially concealed by the Tunisian campaign but from May, when that campaign ended, invasion day, it seemed Impossible that the enemy should not have been aware of what was going on.

een chosen They mav have thought that Sardinia and southern Italy would be the next stepping stones after Pantelleria and Lampedusa Judging from the disposition of their defenses, the axis thought war would come from the west rather than from the south. From the moment gantic convoys left North African shores, it seemed impossible that the enemy would not be warned of the imminence of invasion. Enemy reconnaissance planes were making daily visits, but many of them were shot down before they could report. One axis plane sighted the vast allied armada heading toward Sicily the evening of July 9, but when the first troops went ashore in the early hours July 10, Ttalian forces in the southeast were taken by surprise.

Sea Co-operoted In Allied Landing

Rv Seience Serviee ASHINGTON, Jul troops sTAarming Sicily’s beaches had Iuck™ in not encountering a peculiar local sea-level disturbance that might have caused trouble. Although the Mediterranean is a virtually tideless sea, there is a curious up-and-down fluctuation, known as the “marrobia,” that occurs along Sicily’'s south and west shores at irregular intervals. Without wan the sea may or "fall as much as three within one or two minutes. stop with one oceurit may keep it up every nutes for a whole day. The cause is unknown. Oh such a disturbance might have made trouble had it occurred while the first landings were taking place. Now that our forces have secured several good harbors, it makes less difference if the marrobia occurs.
