Show Victim Turned Lure While in the Hawaiian Islands Mark Twain was assaulted unmercifully unmerci-fully by mosquitoes. Attempting to fool them, he had a fine netting put all around his bed. In spite of this precaution, however, the pests man aged to find their way inside and nearly tormented the life out of him. After careful investigation the victim decided that after they once got inside in-side of the netting the mosquitoes were unable to rind their way out. Consequently, every evening Mark would crawl inside the netting, wail patiently as a lure until he figured that all of the pests were inside, then lift the covering cautiously and sneali outside to spend the night on the floor. Moreover, he always declared that he was never afterwards bothered. |
