Fishermen at Sciacca state that before discovering the body of tlie commander of the Dixmude they found two wires in their nets', presumably belonging to the structure of the airship. It is also declared that on tha night of 21st December the inhabitants saw rockets' fired southward of San Marco. Other fishermen found wire in their nets, apparently part of a wireless headpiece.
