Mosquitoes 60 miles from land, in the
Atlantic ocean. was reported by Capt.
Aiken, of the steamer Lord Ormonde,
from Las Palmas, says the Baltimore
sun. Capt. Aiken says that as the ship
was about so miles east Of Cape Henry
last Tuesday night a dense cloud of
mosquitoes struck the ship and in 4
few minutes had penetrated to even the
most remote sleeping apartments. They
seemed to come out of a fog bank
which the ship had passed through. AL
though the captain and most of the Of
ficers were asleep, the presence of the
insects was soon noticed, and the sleep
of all on board was badly broken until
Baltimore was reached.
The Captain says that although he
has materially aided in increasing Bal
timore's midsummer crop of mosqui-
tees, it was done much against his
wishes. and he is not at all proud of
the collection of humps which the little
blood-suckers have succeeded in raising
upon his body.
