Australian Rock Fisher's Menace By HAROLD THALEY dian Press Cory a SYDNEY, Australia (CP) -- Twenty. men have been washed into the sea from a small rock greg on the New South Wales coast bul other men still go to the same rocks confident they're quick enough to dodge the snatch of death They have lo be quick, all right; otherwise they'd be dead Although deaths st Wattamolla Rocks are listed at 20 in a spread of years, there is reason to he- lieve that some of Sydney's other "missing" men should rightly be added to the Wattamolla death tol! The spot, about 20 miles south of Sydney Harbour Heads, is favored by "rockhoppers'" who fish for drummers and gropers, large, edible fish which feed on red crabs among the rock gullies below water level Judged on appearances, Watla- molla Rocks are similar to others along hundreds of miles of open frontage, pounded by the ocean surge. But there is something in the Wattamolla formation not precisely definable by man which gives them a menace more gin ister han other known danger spots, The challenge is always there. Without warning, a wave be- ginning with a swell will rise sud- denly from a calm sea, spend it- self thunderously on the rocks spread over a large dry area and| then sweep back to ses, taking everything movable to its depths, Kelp on the rocks give fisher. men little chance of regaining a foothold once a wave catches them, Swept off their feet, vie- tims are pounded into uncon. sciousness by the whirling waters end dragged lo sea in minutes ONE SURVIVOR Only one man is known to have survived, The man was a strong swimmer and when he found himself in deep walter he swam away from the rocks instead of trying to swim back and floated around for two hours before he was picked up hy a fishing eraft Rockhoppers have a technique of their own, Many of them travel great distances and take hazard ous chances to reach spots where there is greatest danger, Some perch in niches in the sides of cliffs, The niches are well ahove high tide but are easily reached by an occasional swell that | rushes up the cliff face and| flushes them out At South Head, they will perch on top of & rock and cast lines out and down over a 200-foot drop for fish S.A.

All these de. pend on color Most of the families involved are so mortified by the stigma attached to racial classification that they shun all publicity "It affects their children and, grandchildren as well, you see,"| explained one lawyer, "1 had one| case some weeks ago which 1 personally thought very deserv-| ing of publicity,. But my clients absolutely forbad me to divulge any details to the press." One Cape Town newspaper | man told this correspondent: "One reason why people are so reluctant to talk is hecause even if they are officially reinstated as white, after an appeal, they) can be reclassified at any time, | There is no guarantee that the| ordeal will not be repeated "A lot of these cases start with | an anonymous letter from some malicious or vengeful person.'
