steamer Winnebah, which has just ar.

had a most unusual experience when
steaming between the latitudes of Cape

on the top of the water that they com-
pletely covered the surface for miles
around; indeed, they appeared to bely- |

reach. The locusta had, no doubt, been
blown from the Morocco coast into the
