SHOOTING SCARE
DODECANESE ISLANDS
AIM EARLIER INCIDENT
(Received December 7, 10.30 a.m.) LONDON, December 6.
The Athens correspondent of the "Daily Express" says that the shootins of Greek fishermen off the Dodecanese Islands appears to be a sequel to an earlier Italian scare when foreign destroyers anchored off the island of Kos, where the Italians had established coastguards. The latter, on the misty evening of November 17, mistook a fishing smack's mast for a submarine's periscope and fired, wounding all fifteen 'of the crew.
A cablegram from Athens on December 4 stated that an Italian destroyer patrolling in the neighbourhood of Leros for an unknown reason fired on a Greek fishing boat. Two were killed and lV^ wounded.
