Stromboli Volcano In Sicily Erupts Today

MESSINA, Sicily, (AP)--Stromboli volcano erupted today. Rolling earth tremors again shook the lonely Lipari Island and, on Sicily, smoke poured from Mt. Etna.

These signs of nature in a restless mood frightened fishermen and farmers, but no serious damage or casualties were reported.

The eruption of the bleak crater on Stromboli, a cone-shaped island in the Lipari group 30 miles north of Sicily, was the third this year.

Sparks shot up from the mouth of the cone and lava poured down the slope into the sea. It followed a well-worn path and caused no immediate damage. Some fishermen took to their boats, but most of the islanders remained calm.
