Evening Republican, Volume 20, Number 179, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 27 July 1916 — Mosquitoes Put Out Light. [ARTICLE]

Mosquitoes Put Out Light.

Great swarms of mosquitoes swept in from the marshes and extinguished for three nights the light in the lighthouse at the Vermillion Bay entrance to the canal. The Insects blocked the air vent, despite the efforts of the light keeper to fight them off. The mosquitoes have caused great discomfort in this section. —Abbeville (La.) Dispatch New Orleans Item.
