trip, and while we were out on deck
early in the evening, smoking and chat
ting, a great cloud of mosquitoes, all of
them monstrous birds, came out from
shore and settled on the boat; and do
you know, in fifteen minutes they had
stripped it of every inch of canvas,
and left the masts bare as bean-polesp'
We held up our hands in depreciation
at this tale, when another of the party
exclaimed: "Well, don't be astonished

week after that / was on trip along
the coast, and the same swarm of mos
quitoes came out after us
The first speaker didn't seem to ap-
preciate this unexpected support. for
he muttered: "Humph! They did, Ell?
Well. how did you know they were the
same mosquitoes, eh?"
