Members of other fishing crews in the vicinity were wounded by flying splin- ters from the unfortunate fishermen.

Ships which have been operating be- tween Italy and Constantinople and other Black Sea ports have, limited their trips to stops at Saloniki and Dedeaghatch, Seataring interests demand that the government require prompt and thor- ough satisfaction from Austria.
