No account of travel in Labrador can

terrible pest of mosquitoes These were
always present in immense swarms from
the beginning of our trip to the end, and
sometimes they made life almost unbear-
able
Nothing could be heard but their buzz
ZinS Whenever We attempted To eat
they We're down our threats and in our
eyes and faces. and in spite of our head
nets and fly dope We were always badly
bitten. The natives seemed to mind them
almost as much as we did their remedy
being rancid seal oil. / am satistia I'd that
were one unfortunate as to be caught
out at night without protection he would
be either crazy dead by morning.
Our tents were provided with a fine
mesh bobbinet inner tent. but some would
always find their way inside come up
from the ground. At times light so
attra cted them we went outside to See
if it were not raining for the constant
tapping of the mosquitoes against the
canvas sounded exactly like rain that
il was impossible to tell the difference.
