Our Man in Europe/dave delacroix/ "C.I.A. in Sciacca-Sicily" (Deep Cover, No.2), TOP SECRET; Shussh! Keep it under your hat!
Day 4. (Deep cover in new sunglasses, raincoat:) I establish password with contacts at Harbor, Charlies Bar, O'Roukes Irish, O'Tooles Scottish, and Diddoes (gay) pubs in Sciacca: I say: "Boogaloo! Dat fish is jumpin'!" THEY (my contacts) respond: "Idiot! It's 3 days old!"
Day 5: Information, re. Porta Sciacca. 12 boats set sail, 12 boats returned, all with legitimate navigation lights: 5,000 kg of Calamari plus assorted, almost dead fish. Question? Could they have pulled a boat switch in the fishing grounds? (Dont ask why?)
Day 6: (Deep cover in my apartment). I have studied the rotting fish which my contacts keep foisting on me. My freezer is full, yet I still cannot find any secret microdots, hidden memorandum or a message in a bottle!
Day 7: Decided to tighten up security! The new password for all my usual contacts will be: "The rain in Spain falls mainly..." -they respond: "on the plain." THIS should get things going! Garbage disposal! Secret tunnel under Sciacca's "Ferme" for Afro Stranieri-VIP's and the Gas/Guinness pipeline, via Messina to the Republic of Ireland! -Hush-hush; details to follow!
