Roald Dahl's first published work was an anonymous account of one of these events. Marini fails to save a man near Xiros who was the victim of one of these events in Julio Cortazar's "The Island at Noon." Thanks to Riviere, the Brazilian Fabien dies due to one of them in one novel. In another novel, Katharine is left in the ($) cave of swimmers after one of these events, which was an attempt by her husband Geoffrey Clifton to kill German spy Laszlo de Almasy, known later as The (*) English Patient. A pink conch shell is discovered by Ralph and Piggy shortly after one of these events in Lord of the Flies. For ten points, identify these destructive events, one of which occurs over the English Channel at the beginning of The Satanic Verses.
