Ran for
Their Lives

Two hunters, Thomas Cowles and
Jerry Fisher, nearly fell victims to an
attack Of mosquitoes near Nag's Head,
n. C.. during the July hot spell. They
were in the Sound side hunting jack
snips. Nearby was a herd Of wild pom
les and half-wiid cattle feeding in the
marshes. Cowles noticed that the
hrutes were getting uneasy and COM
mented upon the fact to his compan-
ion. who replied laughingly. Cowles
kept on watching the animals and
suddenly cried out.

Cattle Gave the Alarm.
CoWles had been at Nag's Head be-
ore and knew that the west wind
would rouse the hordes Of mosquitoes
which lay in the marshes. The two had
hardly started for the water which
was a mile away, when the air was
seen to get filed all at once with mos
quitoes. Now was presented a scene
which beggars description. The cattle

their course and for a time beat their
