"Their bite is more painful than that of the mosquitoes," answered the boy, from whose hand a drop of blood was trickling. "That is because their proboscis is armed with lancets which are sharp enough to pierce the hides of bulls and horses."

The cabin is now a favourite breeding-place for mosquitoes, and we have to support both the ship-bred and shore-bred bloodsuckers, of which several species show us their irritating attentions. Some of the small kinds carry uncommonly sharp lancets, and very potent poison. "What would these insects eat, if we did not pass this way?" becomes a natural question.

Then they sharpen it on a stone, using a hone to give it a very fine edge; and in a very short time these workmen will make more than twenty knives in the aforesaid manner. They come out of the same shape as our barbers' lancets, except that they have a rib up the middle, and have a slight graceful curve towards the point.

"Oh, knives and lancets and different instruments for hurting people. And the ether bottle. I had to give him ether, you know the agony was so intense." Peter was silent.

The buttresses do not quite rise to the full height of the side walls of the nave, and not a pinnacle is to be met with anywhere. The sill of the west window is about fifteen feet from the ground, and from it three tall lancets about four feet wide rise to a height of nearly thirty feet.
