fax, N. S., Aug. 6. 1901.-Editor Morn
ing News: I see in your issue of July
81 that the captain of the Lord Or
mond says that as his ship was about
sixty miles east of Cape Henry at
night a dense cloud of mosquitoes
struck the ship and invaded even the
most remote apartments. This report
will hardly be credited by most people,
so / wish to corroborate the captains
story.
On the morning Of July "a, after a
very rough night, blowing a gale and
a very high sea, we were very dis
agreeably surprised by just such an
invasion as Capt. Aiken describes, and.
Notwithstanding there was a very
strong wind still blowing. they not
only attacked the people below, but
made 1t lively for us on deck. and the
man at the wheel. who had on low
quarter shoes, was bit about the ankles
and kept dancing. The mosquitoes
were quite large, striped, and very fe-
rocious, and we concluded that they
must have been from Jersey. We were
at that time about 165 miles E. N e.
off Hatteras, and about 100 miles from
the land.
AS our friends in Savannah are no
doubt anxious to know how our crew
is getting along. they are all in good
health and are having a good

While the butchers do not look for a
crowd that will devour all this, they
expect much of it to go. What is left
will be brought back to the city and
distributed among the orphanages and
the other deserving poor. The associa-
ton will furnish knives, forks, spoons,
paper dishes and napkins. Ample ar
rangements have been made to care for
the ladies and children. There is a
transportation committee of fifteen.
and a floor committee of twenty. There
will be good music, two bands having
been engaged for the day.
The butchers are notifying their GUS
toners that they will close up on
Thursday at 9 o'clock, so that it will be
better for those who remain in town
to order their meat supplies on We'd

them to other railroad stations. from
