Stung By Man-of-War
MIAMI, Fla., (/P)—Danger from
the man-of-war appeared to be
lessening Thursday after more
than 8,000 bathers along the lower

Capt. Ray Booker of the Cran

colorful, floating creatures will be
a menace until a wind changes to
sweep them -back out to sea.
The man-of-war has a small
floating body about two inches in
diameter with 10 or 12 tentacles.
They discharge poison under
the skin and the sting is painful
but are not dangerous unless the
victim has a bad heart.
