Ship Cook Tells Mosquito Story
Of San Bias Coast.
Coubie-Headed Dutchman Relates How
Natives by Their Ingenuity Were
Able to Load Vessel With
C~ocoanuts Quickly.

New York.-The cook Of the British
schooner Carib H., which was at the
foot of West Twenty-fourth street
while in port, said that he was a "dou
ble-headed Dutchman." When CUES
toned as to the meaning Of this PHRASE
the cook explained that a double
headed Dutchman" was a sailor mar
hailing from Amsterdam, Holland.
1t is necessary to come from Am
sterdam in order to be addressed by
the above name. A man who came
from Rotterdam, the cook said, would
not be a "double-headed Dutchman,'
nor could the native Of any other city
but Amsterdam use this title.
The Carib II. is q white, three-mast
ed schooner owned in Colon, and ar
rived with a cargo Of cocoanuts from
the San Bias coast. There we're $50.

when she arrived, according to the
cook, whose name Is Gerrit Gallandt,
a truthful man, fifty years old, who
has been cook or many ships since
he put to sea from Amsterdam IS
years ago. He has not been back
there SINCE.
He remarked that 1t was necessary
TO anchor about three miles off the
beach when loading cocoanuts on the
San Bias coast He was asked how
the cargo was got on board.
Mosquitoes bring it out" replied
Cert without the senblance Of a
smile. The mosquitoes on the San
Bias coast are SO large and smart that
he natives use them to help out in
various ways.
As soon as we anchored off the
coast n fine morning we heard a
sound like a brass band. We thought
It was a native celebration after cleo
ton or something like that, but soon
the sky darkened and the ship was
quickly showered by thousands OF
c~ocoanuts. 1t was the mosquito fleet
bringing out our cargo and the noise
we heard was their loud humming.
We were very much frightened
at first and a below, but q native
soon arrived In his canoe and explain
ed matters. He said that another
hee would be along pretty soon and
that we must be careful not t be
struck by the cocoanuts as they fell.
The native said that efforts were
being made to train the mosquitoes to
deposit the cocoanuts in the holds OF
the vessel. but he did not expect this
could be accomplished without . good
deal OF additional training.
There was q good deal of satisfac-
tion among the chiefs. the native said.
over the new use that the mosquitoes
had been put to. Before they were

had to be transported from shore in
lighters and canoes to the waiting
ships"
Gerrit Gallandt concluded his tale
by saying that the Carib II. received
her cargo on her visit to San Bias
quicker than she had ever got one
before.

Rust, Chief Trouble.

- TOT long ago a veteran rider was
~ asked what was the CHIEF
trouble he had noted in winter.
III His answer was rust II
riders kept their machines out
doors all the time, protected from the
clements. of course, there wouldn't be any
rust. That's the way trappers treat their
guns In winter, and they never even have
TO wipe them of. But as soon as the
cycle or gun IS taken into a warm place
he rust begins TO form and it's hard TO
keep off,"
Apart from detracting from the ap-
pearance of a machine, rust may be the
eause of "a serious accident. Take one OF
