STABBED BY FISH
YOUTH'S LUNG LACERATED. A swordfish' weighing 44 p-ounds gravely wounded Vieente Sainz Escoriza, piercing him through the right side and lacerating one lung, when the youth attempted to pull the fish into a small hoat. Escoriza was reseued by_a companion, and a passing yacht rushed him to the nearest first-aid station for treatment. He was taken to the Havana City Hospital later, where it was said his condition was extremely serious. The young Cuban lost his job some months ago and was unable to find employment. As a last resort he took up fishing with a friend, in order to earn something to buy food for his mother, father and 10 brothe'rs. His accident was laid to his inexperience with this type of dangerous fish.
